Before we go much deeper into the conversation concerning bigbaits, you need to know the lay of the land. Right now, at the very beginning of year 2005, some bass anglers – tournament pros in particular – are trying to position themselves as swimbait experts. Their reasons for doing so should be obvious. Every chance they get, you hear a comment about swimbaits. "I think there might be a swimbait bite going next week," or "Swimbaits might make a difference," blah, blah, blah.
