Artificial Baits For Swords.....

billfisher · 04-02-2006, 11:11 PM

Concerning using artificial baits for swords, there has been research that swords are SIGHT hunters (over scent hunters) and Artificial baits have been theorized to have success.
If anyone here has used artificial squid and/or fish for swords it would be great if you can share any of your experiences. Does the artificial get wacked so you need a new one each time? Does it get hit at a lower/higher/same frequency than the natural bait?

Sincerely,
Billfisher
