Which one of these would you buy. They are both from reliable companies priced at $19.99 so it's hard to make a decision of which one to buy. Are they durable and does one have better swimming action over the other. Opinions Please. I remember on T.V. one of the bass pros was throwing a 4"Tungsten swimbait and one of the eyes was missing. What's the deal.

Thanks Ya'll

The Tru Tungsten doesn't swim as good as the SPRO, IMO.

The SPRO swims a bit better.

Unfortunately, after throwing it for a good part of the fall, I have yet to hook 1 fish on it, while other baits being thrown have had real good success.

Then I asked myself, "How big are the threadfin shad that you normally see on the water?" And I might have just come up with the answer on why the bait hasn't had one bite.

buy both then test them to see if they meet your expectations.



God Bless

Yeah. I was leaning towards the spro but wanted some Opinions on the T-T. Thanks Ya'll. More feedback is much welcome( line size- Mono or flouro). I'll be at the Pudd alot this year on my FC4. Hope to see some felow tubers out there. Havn't seen anybody on a tube yet. But then again the water is like chocolate milk right now. Peace and thanks!

don't count the TT out, i have it, swims great, and it's a floater AND slowsink when you add the beads... two for one

Go with the Spro...like everyone said it does swim better.

IMO the slow sink is a uselss model of them. It just sinks too slow. Go with the fast sink or the floater. I've caught a couple stripers off the floater....

got it and it looks good...I just really liked the bluegill color and spro doesnt offer it so i went with the TT...Its a cool little bait...and putting the balls in is pretty easy...but if you need more info on putting balls into little holes ask stu or rich about that!
