Examine a swimbait fishing lure at a sporting goods store and you wonder what all the fuss is about and why it costs so much. However, many anglers find the swimbait lure effective. Read on to learn how to use a swimbait fishing lure.
Instructions
- 1
Squeeze a swimbait lure. While soft, it is designed to imitate the swimming action of a bait fish at extremely slow and fast speeds. Some have diving bills like a crankbait up front so that they dive as much as six feet if cranked in fast enough. Swimbait lures usually have the hook and a sealed cylinder with a couple of steel or tungsten balls for sound. The cylinder also gives the lure a greater casting range and a slightly negative buoyancy, allowing it to be reeled in very slowly.

Shake your prospective choice of swimbait lures by your ear. Almost all of them make a good clicking sound. Some of the more pricey ones make a sort of booming sound that seems to attract game fish effectively, particularly in salt water.

Focus on the biggest drawback to swimbait fishing lures. Some of them cost as much or more as a good top water or crankbait, but they are extremely fragile, particularly in salt water where game fish either have teeth or the ability to crush crabs. The body can be shredded as quickly as a common ten-cent plastic grub.

Select a swimbait fishing lure that comes with extra bodies and is constructed so that the hook shank and noise cylinder are fused together. This type usually has a weighted metal head like a jig head. The weight of all the components, including the plastic body, add up to the exact buoyancy required to make the lure able to move slower than a weighted hook and any type of plastic body.

Fish a swimbait the way you do any plastic lure. They won't have as much casting range but are great when water temperatures make game fish sluggish. Try a few small twitches and one turn of the reel handle when it is very cold or very warm.
