Has anyone tried the Yum money minnow 5 inch swim bait ?
A guy at the dock told me the walleye were hitting the rainbow trout colored ones

I find the Mann's "Hard Nose" swim baits more durable and cost effective to use.

The "Hammer" Swim Shad are great for walleye use too, huge range of patterns and sizes to work with.

They worked for me earlier this year on Devils Lake. I had lots of different branded 4 and 5 inch paddle tail swim baits I tried. I was reforming them, and can't really recall if I streatched the Yum or not. Cabela's had some with their own branding. They were the least expensive, and worked as well as anything I tried.

I've got so many plastics I'll never live long enough to use em up, I'm not really concerned about durability.

Rebs,

I've fished a ton of the swimbaits...for the green ones more than the toothed ones.

These are the two I like the best.

The Roboworm is the easiest to rig and fish, you can fish it at any speed. The Powerbait one is tough to beat for the composition of plastic.
