Types of Swimbaits

When you are searching for swimbaits to fill your tackle box, there are tons of different options. There are three main types of swimbaits, that being hard body swimbaits, soft body swimbaits, and hybrid style swim baits. There are several subtypes of swimbaits in these parent categories that include:

  1. Glide baits
  2. Multi-Jointed Swimbaits
  3. Wake Baits
  4. Paddle Tail Swimbaits
  5. Hollow Body Swimbaits
  6. Line-Through
  7. Soft Plastic Swimbaits

Depending on what type of swimbait you are using, you will want to fish it and rig it differently. If you are using a soft plastic swimbait it is very common to use a jig head with them. Rigging the soft plastic body onto a weighted hook, or swim jig is great for weedless fishing, cast & retrieve style fishing, and vertical jigging. I personally like to use a weighted hook or jig head and swim the bait through the water especially when using a paddle tail swimbait. Typically if you are using a glide bait or other hard body swimbait you will tie it up like you would most jerkbaits.

Swimbaits For Different Species

Swimbaits are one of the most dynamic multi species lures on the market. Swimbaits are typically used for bass, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and striped bass. I love tossing a soft plastic swimbait for largemouth, but if you are like me and LOVE fishing cold waters for pike and musky the swimbait is bread and butter. Tossing a trout or perch style swimbait can trigger some massive pike and musky bites. Swimbaits are also great for walleye, and using smaller soft plastic swimbaits can be a knockout strategy for bluegill and crappie. If you are one of our friends who lives by the coast or down near the gulf you can also use swimbaits to catch all sorts of saltwater species like halibut, calico bass, sandbass, and rockfish.

How To Fish a Swimbait

Just as versatile are swimbaits with multi species angling, they are just as versatile with how you can fish them. Many anglers will do a slow but consistent retrieve which will mimic baitfish swimming through the water which is about as natural as it gets, but people will also mix in quick turns or pops similar to a jerkbait. You can also incorporate brief pauses to trigger a strike. This strategy is known as the “kill”. Having depth control on your swimbait is important, you want to let the swimbait fall to your desired depth before you begin to retrieve the bait. Targeting structure is always a solid fishing strategy so pitch your swimbait towards structure and work the bait out / away into deeper water. Since swimbaits can offer such a realistic representation of bait fish it is one of the best lure choices you can have when attempting to “match the hatch” which of course is trying to accurately represent what natural forage is in the waters. Finally consider your weather, in early spring for example you want to use a big swimbait moving slower through the water when targeting hungry pre-spawn fish.

Swimbait FAQs

What is a swimbait?

A swimbait is a fishing lure designed to imitate the natural swimming motion of baitfish such as shad, bluegill, or trout. Predatory fish, especially bass, strike them because they look and move like real prey, and are one of the most fun lures to throw when predator fish are biting.

When should you use swimbaits for bass fishing?

Swimbaits work best when bass are actively feeding on baitfish. This would most likely be in the spring and fall with clear water so bass can easily see the realistic baitfish profile of the lure. Throwing big swimbaits can also increase your chances of hooking into a big bass as they are in heavy feeding periods in the spring and fall.

How do you fish a swimbait?

Fishing with swimbaits can be very easy, but very effective. Common techniques include slow rolling, bottom hopping, and mid-water retrieve which is my preferred method. For beginners, cast your swimbait past your target area, let is sink to the depth you want, retrieve it slowly and steadily so your lure will “swim” in the water, and occasionally pause, jerk, or change speeds to imitate wounded fish and trigger strikes.
