Freshwater bass swimbaits? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Drill small hole and add lead bb's. Now the Swimbait rattles and sinks. Seal it back with silicone. And could always use these hard swimbaits on a long dropshot loop.

What others have mentioned is good info. I have tried LOTS of freshwater baits in the salt and most work. The problem is most of them are not built to take the severe beating the saltwater fish dish out.

I've had success with cranks and softbaits, was primarily looking to see if theres been success with the larger 8"+ swimbaits designed for LMB. My orders on the way in March due to backorder... If I get a big YT to bite trolling or casting I definitley wouldn't care if the bait got mauled! I'll have to try my luck out in LJ this season.
