Learning to surf fish with swimbaits has been a long journey for me and it’s only just begun. After using Lucky Crafts and other hard jerkbaits exclusively, two years ago, I committed to giving swimbaits a go and man! These things change the game. Being able to fish weedless in the surf opens up so many possibilities.
