While I have not used the Basstrix Swimbaits, I am currently sponsored by Ghost Baits, and the swimbaits that Jim O’Conner produces are awesome. The colors that he can come up with are sweet, especially the bluegill pattern. I had a 4 lbs. 4 oz. bass come off a bed and attack this very swimbait as it was twitched across the top of the water, above her bed. I did manage to get a hook into her, but she shook the lure and I eventually caught it on a Zoom Super Fluke that was sitting in the bed for a long time.
He makes two variations of swimbaits.........one being the one mentioned above and the other is a wake-style swimbait, although I have tinkered around with them and used them through the water column.
