Anyone use soft swim baits?
Awhile ago I went walleye fishing in Lake Champlain. the guy that took us out had using soft swim baits with some pretty impressive results. I haven't had much success using them lately.
Do you have any luck using them for bass or walleye?
How do you fish them?

I've caught pike & musky on large (>6") swim baits, most successfully when fished low and slow in early spring waters.
I've also used them for stripers in tidal rivers. I don't think there's any special way to fish them ... somewhere between a crankbait and a twitch bait I guess.

Never used them for walleye but I could see that working pretty well. To me they're very versatile. They can be slow rolled, straight swim, twitched, burn it on the surface or even used as a trailer on a swimjig, spinnerbait or buzzbait. I typically through at least 6" or larger and the smaller fish will still chomp them.
