This is pretty awesome. Crazy you saw that, and great lessons learned.My uncle had the same thing happen this summer when he caught a 24" pile and an even larger one came and ate it.I saw the same thing happen with a 9" (approx) rockbass.All instances were head first. I will say, the rockbass was t-boned and the northern then adjusted it.

I know this sounds strange, but i forge my baits from hatred. If i hate the feature, i try to find a fix. After 6-7 months of testing, I've worked out most of the things that ruin my experience.Right! It might look right at first, but once a new design hits the water things get found out.

Right. When it functions as desired and does not have any features that irritate me.

When I hear "swimbait" I go one of two ways depending on context, it's either a boot tailed soft plastic like a sassy shad or keitech, or I think of it as a hyper realistic unlipped, multi segmented hard bait. That's if I'm splitting hairs... On an average day I'll use the term in reference to anything boot tailed, hyper realistic, big, or generally awesome including but not limited to rats, crawlers, wakes, glides, wedge tailed, etc... I definitely fall into the big baits are swimbaits category though. I don't consider a 3" wakebait that looks like a crank bait a swimbait, but I do consider rats (and even small mice) swimbaits. I'm a generalist, and I apply that to fishing unless the situation necessitates otherwise...Despite this, I do NOT consider large top water walkers swimbaits. Maybe because they're not jointed, I don't know, but I do draw the line there. Punkers are not swimbaits.
