Be patient
The most complicated part is not to master the swimming of the lure because most swimbaits are so well designed that they swim all by themselves at the slightest request. I will not dwell on this point because there is only to turn the crank. The most complicated thing is to believe in it and to have the patience to bring it back slowly. Indeed, the speed of recovery is a very important point that you must learn to master. This one is generally slow, just enough to make the lure swim in a natural way. In the river, the current even makes the lure swim by itself, allowing you to do some trolling. During the retrieve, taking breaks can be the trigger, especially with glidebaits which lend themselves well to this.
Fewer throws for as much area covered
The idea of swimbait fishing is not to cast as many times as possible to cover as much surface as possible, as is the objective of fast prospecting techniques. Here, the goal is to make long casts on promising areas, then the speed and size of the lure will do the rest of the work. A fish will not hesitate to move over a long distance to come and get it. We throw less but we cover as much surface. What is decisive is the relevance of the casts. The fisherman must be observant, imagine where the fish is and cast so that the lure remains as long as possible in the field of vision and the comfort zone of the fish. The fishing technique is quite slow but each cast counts more than with small lures with which you have to comb the whole area.
An effective technique all year round
There is no particular season for this fishing, it can be practiced successfully all year round. The main thing, as with all techniques, is to find the areas and depths where the fish are holding. In summer, smaller lures with higher retrieve speeds work well. In winter, you can increase the size and reduce the retrieve speed.
Here is an overview of fishing with hard swimbaits, these increasingly popular lures, and once you master this technique, you will quickly understand their popularity.
