Fishing Fact
Fish imitating baits like the Heddon Prowler, Rapala floating minnow and Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap have been catching freshwater bass for many years. The currently popular swimbaits are a more recent arrival on the fishing scene. The original swimbaits, developed in the late 1980's in Southern California, were large trout-imitating lures meant to fool big largemouths and stripers feeding on stocked rainbows. Today, there are lots of swimbait designs and patterns available.
