Brandon Palaniuk Talks Swimbaits And Mentions The Rock

Hmm I use P-line PF original in 20,25, and 30# for the majority of my swimbait fishing and haven't casted off a bait in a while and the last time was when I wasn't paying attention and got a backlash. I generally stick with the palomar 99% of the time but have been experimenting with the San Diego Jam with the pricier baits. My suggestion is practicing your casting technique, the sweet spot is somewhere in between a traditional cast and a lob if that makes sense. When I first started throwing these bigger lures I tossed some baits off but with time dialed in my cast to where it is a non issue. Until you get your confidence up I suggest you get a couple floating baits to use (much easier to retrieve when thrown off lol) A slammer and punker would do nicely

As far as retying goes, no reason to do it every half hour. Just keep your eye out for any abrasions, like you would with any other lure. I personally do retie after almost every fish though (admittedly this is hard to do if there is a hot bite)

As you mentioned, Big Game is a good line for this also

Thanks evilcat!

Maybe I will bite the bullet and order me a 4-6" wake bait when I get my income tax return. Watching this video and others has peaked my interest. I don't know anybody that I fish against in my bass club that uses these types of baits. It might pay off big to try something different........or just look good in my tacklebox if I can't convince myself to toss it.

For a relatively cheap wake swim bait check out the Black Dog Shellcracker G2. They are $20 and are a lot of fun.

Good video. Thanks for sharing. I am now going to waste another 2 hours watching the rest of those video interniews with the other anglers like Chris Christie, Cliff Pace and Mark Rose.

There are a bunch of them out there, seems there is a video for every bass technique you can think of.

I hate I saw that.

Great video. Loved the Table Rock reference, it's always a thrill watching them follow the big baits down there and when you see that dark shadow that's obviously committed and trying to remind yourself that split second it happens not to pull the bait away from them. Makes the fact that the water around here is hard at that much more agonizing
