Swimbait bass fisherman...?
I know a lot of you on here are older than I am (a lot older probably, HAHA!) but remember that big ol' hulkin' chunk of plastic that I guess saltwater guys would use for halibut and what not twenty, maybe even thirty years ago or more? Called a Dinosaur?
Yeah, you old people remember it... and maybe even some of the younger guys have heard of 'em also.
Anyway, I found one that my dad had in the garage that was about twelve-inches or a little bigger. Has a treble stinger hook in it just before the skinny section of the tail connected to some pretty heavy wire. It's a light rainbow color. And about a one or two-ounce triangular jighead with a about a five-ought hook in it. Pop said you can't find these things anymore.
Have you swimbait fisherman ever considered tossing these big Dinosaurs for bass?
I started using plastics in the 70's but can not find what you are looking for. The biggest soft bait I remember was the two tail scampi's we would drop with squid trailers on them for butts but an 'ol hulkin chunk of plastic" i am not coming up with. The first paddle tail swim baits I remember were the worm king line, blue back silver stripe and egg white bellies I found a place that had one inch long ones that were the color of sand crab eggs (orange) on the back and on the belly were white (it looked like an orange fifty fifty bar) I caught hundreds of corbina and bar perch with them but worm king is gone and so I buy white solid swim baits and color them for specialty reasons. Enough of my oldness. Dude, I can not find any ol' dinosaurs to reference but using paddle tails for bass? yes every time out.
