Pearl Swimbaits

I was loaned a few Pearl Swimbaits today from Nawm.  They seem really good.  They're a lot like Big Hammer baits, except for one thing I think is better:  They're much tougher than the Big Hammers.  For me the Big Hammers get torn up really fast by lings.  The Pearls seem to be made out of denser material.  They may not swim quite as well as the Hammers, but they last a lot longer.  And they don't slide down on the hook shank.

My 2 cents, Dave

I agree with them getting shredded. who's the maker of the one's nawm gave you?

I use quite a few  different varieties. hammers, AA, cj's, optimum, robo, ect..
They all have their place in my box. I find AA's to be the most durable for rockfish and lings. A bit of superglue to keep them secured and some pro-cure scent and theyre good to go. though i wish some of the prices would be cheaper.

I recently ordered some 'pearl' big hammers online and when I got them they were translucent pearl white. not completely opaque. (I'm thinking about airbrushing them into rockfish colors). I would love to find some totally opaque 5-6" pearl swimbaits. If you know of any mfg's that do this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
