You might want to check out the River 2 Sea live eye Bottom Walkers. They come in a whole bunch of sizes and are pretty nice. I hope this helps!!

Another that I just got my hands on and am pretty impressed by is the mattlures minnow. Its the unrigged bait he just put out. I think it can be found on Tacklewarehouse. I picked some up at bassathon and have been throwing them on revenge swimbait heads.

Definately take a look.....

at the Big Hammers. They come in 4", 5" 5.5" & 6.5" and a wide array of color patterns. Very simular to a Fish Trap, yet with a unique square tail that waddles like no other plastic bait I've used. And they are very inexspensive by comparison to the single $10 baits we see flooding the market here. They range from $.89-$1.89 each, and will last a long time with a bottle of Mend-It close by!

These are baits fished on a lead head jig as a rule. It's a hassle some times when pitching and flippin em into cover, and they may not be as conducive as say a Mission Fish that can be fished weedless. But certainly the savvy bass angler could rig a screw weight and 6/0 EWG to these and fish em weedless too. They even have smaller versions that make excellent dropshot baits. I'm having an absolute ball catching fish with Big Hammers on the River right now, and can't wait to try them on our lakes too!
