Alex Heitman Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Has anyone tried these on the rock? Thinking about picking up a few. They look to have really good action.
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Yes, the black bass love the lavender and natural shad colors. I even caught a 5lbs LM on a trout colored BBZ1 Jr. Slow sink (6inch). And got a 3.25lbs LM on a BBZ1 Jr lavender shad floater last monday.... Yes they work on the Rock...
Alex Heitman Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks for the input richy. Appreciate it. How much difference is there in the slow and fast sink?
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 The slow sink 1/2 ft per second and fast sink falls 2ft per second. Somewhere's about that. Its listed on their website. Here's. A couple of Kentucky's on a shad floater
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 One key element to fishing the larger "Jr" and even the 4in shad, right now is fishing them slow, almost irritating slow. They'll swim will very little input. Check out bill's YouTube channel" theBBZtv" for techniques. The one video, titled "my first swimbait fish" where he teaches a guy to fish the BBZ1 Jr. on Lake Lanier, GA. I learn alot from that one
hknfsh Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Where can you buy these ? That's an awesome looking bait !
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Cheapest way is Ebay, 18 for the 4in shad (bass pro shop jacks the price up to 30 each), and 20-25 for a 6inch Jr. There is an 8inch version(35 dollars) but i haven't bought one to use on TRL yet...
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 had to use the laptop to attach these pics

Watched it last night, great video. Really reinforces some of the things that are important about fishing Table Rock in the spring, just with swimmers instead of finesse. Especially the idea of the "color change". Obvious Q...looks like you are fishing CA style from the bank? Interested because Siemmantel was also fishing "uphill" on a couple of places in the video.
Moswimb8slinger Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 that's a advantage of fishing from the bank but also the point of that is funnels or pinch points with the bass can pin down its prey. ambush point like rocks timber ledges even the surface of the water can be a pinch point. that video is pretty loaded with information, you just got to adapt the information in your style of fishing or your area. you're not going to go out to a lake that doesn't have docks and try to go dock fishing.lol
