Big Bite Baits Swimbait Selection

If you're looking for soft plastic swimbaits to add to your bass fishing arsenal, Big Bite Baits has all the bases covered. Here's a look at some of their offerings:

​

Suicide Shad: The Suicide Shad has look and action on the hollow belly swimbaits that became all the craze in bass fishing back in the early 2000's. Perfect for weighted hooks, the Suicide Shad is versatile enough to excel at any rigging option an angler desires. Available in 3 sizes and 39 colors, there's sure to be a Suicide Shad variation that will fit into your game.

B5 Line Thru Swimbait: The B5 is a 5-inch line through swimbait with great swimming action. Try this one for big pre-spawners and you just might get a few more lunkers in the boat. The B5 is available in 8 fishing colors. 

​

Pro Swimmer: The Pro Swimmer is a great option for A-rigs and ball head jigs, yet it's versatility is similar to the Suicide Shad. The Pro Swimmer is available in 4 sizes and 22 colors.

Suniline: Essential Buyer's Guide for 2022

Sunline's motto is "The strength to guarantee your confidence" for a reason. It's simply the best fishing line on the planet! Here's a look at what line I'll be fishing with  in 2022:

​

FC Sniper: Sunline's most versatile fluorocarbon is Sniper. This is my "go to" choice for fishing a jig or Texas-rigged soft plastics.

​

Crank FC: If you are cranking, you owe it to yourself to try Crank FC. Not only does Crank FC have the perfect amount of stretch for cranking, but it has the p-ion coating, which increases castability and durability. 

​

FX2 Braid: FX2 is the perfect braid for throwing a frog or swimjig into heavy cover. Also great for flipping around grass. 

​

XPlasma Asegai Braid: Asegai braid is awesome for throwing walking topwaters and buzzbaits. P-ion technology adds to its castability. 

​

Dostrike FC: Designed to specifications of Brett Hite, Dostrike is the perfect line for vibrating jigs. Also great for spinnerbaits.
