Professional bass angler Edwin Evers hails from Oklahoma jig country but has been quick to adopt swimbaits to his regular tournament arsenal; the universal appeal of a minnow profile makes them a get-bit lure, especially so in the clearer waters of the Great Lakes states. While the most common way to fish an exposed hook finesse swimbait is with a slow and steady straight retrieve, this method also limits their versatility.

Design innovations such as those seen in the Megabass Dark Sleeper (https://goo.gl/zpQhNP) have ushered in new ways to fish these lures. Edwin provides an in-depth look on how he employs the keel weighted, weedless Dark Sleeper over mixed-cover bottoms using a combination of traditional straight reeling while mixing in erratic jig-like rod motions to trigger bass. The hidden hook design allows this lure to penetrate grass and fish cleanly like a jig while delivering an ultra-realistic baitfish profile. The short and stocky body profile doubles as an excellent crawfish imitator when pulled over the bottom, as it does goby and a range of other bottom-oriented baitfish.
