At 3:16 starts the porn section, for those who dont know what a swimbait is....Could be mistaken for Plastic manhood. : ) Good video though !

If you're talking about the 8" huddleston probably the silver blue back. You can add a big shad dot to it. Honestly though, throw whatever color you want. They're looking at it as a big meal, not whether or not it looks perfectly like a shad.

[tacticalbassin]

Absolutely! Trout is a great color in lakes with no trout.

[kevbot31]

do you think trout would still do ok if theres nos trout?

[tacticalbassin]

Honestly, I really don't use the phantom colors. The traditional colors keep catching fish. :-)

[scoutthespotter]

Do you ever fish a phantom colored swimbait?

[tacticalbassin]

Yeah, that was a Nates.

[tacticalbassin]

Yes, Kokanee are a type of salmon and bass eat them just like they do trout. :-)

[phytobedo]

Are Kokanee a favorite food for bass? That's a type of salmon right?

[tacticalbassin]

Thanks! Will do. :-)
