Nice little swimbait. I'm using the 3.5" size swimbait with Gamakatsu 4/0 swimbait hooks. The tail movement is really very good, the body movement is just ok. They do catch fish! Largemouth and stripers on these so far.
Durability is just ok. They are pretty torn up after a good fish, and even bouncing off weeds and rocks will tear the nose up pretty well after a while. Because of the price, that very-average durability means on 4 stars.
But, I've bought more! I'll keep using them, but just don't expect 1 or 2 to last you all day.

i've fished these in the 4.5 and 5.5 before with no sucess. but found a winning combo with the 3.5 matched with luck"e"strike 3/16 swim bait hooks. the hooks look small compared to the owner beast hooks and other swim bait hooks i've been told to use but i haven't lost a fish yet. make a sweeping hook set like u would do with a spinner bait or crank bait and its money in the bank. favorite colors are green pumpkin in clear water and natural perch in stained. grass bed fish cant resist them. only draw back is the durability of the bait. if they could produce a hard nose version that would be perfect.

For the 3.5" version, I'm using a Gamakatsu 4/0 swimbait hook. Works great.
A:Â
I use a 1/4 oz. jig head for the 3.5". These seem to have the correct hook size.A:Â
on the five inch i use a bass magic hook on no 5 to 6 weights vary when i fish it i feel a tap the slack in the line that is when i sit the hookA:Â
I feel you need to match the size of the hook to size of the bait. I prefer the 3/0 for the 3.5" and the 5/0 for the 4.5". Just remember - a hook that is too big will effect the tail action of this bait.

I use a 4/0 lightly weighted and with a screw lock. I shopped around and found a 3 pack that came with a pair of hooks.A:Â

The best hook to use would be the size 5/0 Gamakatsu EWG weighted worm hook. if not you could try one of lazer sharps size 3/0 swimbait hooks with the screw in. These hooks are what i use for it.Answers
A:Â
Usually the 2/0 or 3/0. It has been my experince that whatever the size the bait, thats the size hook to use. So if the bait is 4 inches than a 4/0 hook would work great. If the bait is 7 inches than a 7/0. If you are in between you can go a size higher.A:Â
2.5 inch = 3/0 weighted Gamakatsu in 1/16 oz or 1/8 oz..3.5 inch = 4/0
4.5 inch = 5/0
5.5 = 6/0
Adjust hook weights to depth you are fishing. Good Luck.

I fish Clearlake a lot and like a 7'6" heavy action rod . My favorite is an old BPS fiberglass flippin stick I bought in the 80's with an ambasador 5000A:Â
personally any size i even throw the 5.5 on spinning tackle with 10lb line on a 5ft rod but i generally use a six foot medium action rod you want SOME FLEX IN IT so it will go farther.A:Â
I use a 6' 6" MH (Medium Heavy) ugly stick for that king of applications. Good luck.A:Â
what you have is what you have. i would not use a light rod but maybe medium heavy. That is what i used for the 5.5 inch swimbait.

I use the 5.5 inch swimbaits often, and I use a medium/heavy rod, with 14 lbs line. But depending on where your fishing, a medium rod with 12 lbs line, would work well.Details:Â
