I'm not a big swim bait guy but I'm looking to take the plunge! Anyone have some advice on brand size color? For now I'm looking for something to use at Barryessa. Any help is appreciated!

Keep it simple at first, nothing will burn you out faster than spending a lot of time and money and not cacthing a fish or getting any bites. Paddle tails, S waver, Keitechs etc will get you bies and most importantly confidence.

Try some Savage Gear 3D Line Thru Swimbaits
The 4Play Hard in 5" or 7 1/2" or
4Play Soft Baits.
Great colors to choose from.
But most of all, get a bait you like and throw it till the cows come home!

S-wave, Huds in 5 ROF the silver with blue back, and Kietechs Swing Impact Fat 3.8 in Tennesse Shad and Electric Shad colors on umbrella rig or single. Go to Keitechs website lots of good ways to rig them.

Good luck,

Terry
