Call me crazy, but I always thought that swimbaits were those types of baits that had actions generated by either the shape of the tail, like a big hammer, HUD, mission fish,etc. Or by vortex shedding, like a triple trout, BBZ1...you get the idea....or a combination of both. If it has a lip....it's a big crankbait!

Seems to me, these types of tourneys should NOT limit what one uses to catch the fish...well OK no live bait! Why no trolling?

Why not just have a big ass bass tourney....who cares how it's caught?....within reason!

Would it be so awefull if a big bass tourney was won by someone throwing a plain ole jig?
