Swimbaits?

Does anybody have any luck with swimbaits in CO?  I hear most people have great luck with them in CA but not really here.

I found these and was wondering if they would actually work.

They look very real and it would seem as though they would do well anywhere that bluegill were the main source of forage.

I cant justify spending the kind of money that swimbaits cost. But they usually do pretty well anywhere you use them if you use them where that species is forage.

better have some big fish to use swim baits. ive even seen them used in tandems to mimick schools of fish, hard to find places in colorado that i think they would do well. especially from shore.

I too fell in love with the real look and feel of the Castaic Shad lure.

Trolled it for miles, and finaly was blessed with a bite from a small, tiny walleye at Neo Grande one year.

I'm with Dan on this one; looks reel nice in my tacklebox but it never sees water time anymore. Note to self: ensure you use this lure next time you have to fish snag infested waters, and are sure you are going to loose the next lure you run through it.

Which brings the e-chip to mind; does it really work?
