"I have been using Big Hammer swimbaits for about a year and I love them. You can fish them slow and they still have awesome tail action. I introduced them to my wife and she caught this 6lb. 2oz. Spotted Bass on Whiskeytown Lake near Redding, California." - Brandon Jennings, California

"I have to say that I started this Summer not knowing a thing about fishing the ocean or to be more precise, catching Halibut. As a matter of fact I was even a little intimitated by the whole process. I have mainly fished lakes and rivers or streams and the occasional pier here and there. Thanks to my friend Ryan who told me about Big Hammer and your web site, I have landed 4 legal halibut so far this summer. All were caught with my 4 year old son by my side, which has made it even more memorable than I could have ever dreamed. I would also like to say that all were caught with your Big Hammer swimbaits and with the help of your techniques page and expert staff. If someone were to tell me that my summer was going to be like this I would have not believed them. I have lived in Santa Barbara all my life and cannot believe I have been missing out on such good fishing. I am hooked! Thank you for making me look like professional and Super Hero in front of my friends and more importantly in the eyes of my son, Dillon." - David Cordero - Santa Barbara, California

"Hey Guys, I just wanted to say thanks!! The 6˝ inch Brown Grunion and Keylime colors matched the smelt down in San Quintin exactly. We caught a lot of fish from White Seabass, Calico Bass, Yellowtail and everything in between on the swimbaits. Thanks again for getting them to us so quickly. Without them our trip would have sucked!" - Dan Thorburn - Product Support Specialist - Shimano American Corp.

"Excuse me for my American, but I want say you that your lure are very good." - Thierry Malacrino - France

"I can't say enough about Big Hammer swimbaits.  I use them all the time.  They are my "go to" bait.  The tails have the best action of any swimbaits out there and work for almost any fish.  I have landed all kinds of bass, lingcod, rockfish, white seabass, barracuda, cobia and the list goes on and on." - Mary Goldberg - Ventura, California

"I fish for spotted bay bass in harbors and bays using your Big Hammer 3" swimbaits.  They are awesome.  I never go a day without catching a few halibut as well.  They are the toughest, most realistic swimbaits I have ever fished with.  Most other swimbaits fall apart after a bass or halibut, with their sharp teeth and strong head shakes.  But not Big Hammers, they will catch many fish and still keep their form and swim perfectly.  I love the large variety of colors you have available." - Bayron Ortega - California

"Amazing baits is all I have to say. Those Big Hammer swimbaits outperformed and caught more fish than the other swimbait brands we tried. We caught walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, lake trout, perch, rainbow trout, and even arctic grayling. The heavier jig heads with the large swimbaits are perfect for catching lunkers while deep water ripping. They are also quite durable for a plastic, it wasn't uncommon for me to catch up to a dozen pike with one single bait." - Kevin Louie, Sand Beach Lodge Guide - Ontario, Canada

"I just want to say that Big Hammer swimbaits are the best on the market and the only ones I use for pesky bass. I quit using live bait years ago and went straight to plastics. They give you constant contact when the strike comes and that's when it counts. Hands down the square tail on the Hammers produce the best action of any swimbait around and the huge variety of colors is sweet!!" - Gary Lozonne

"Big Hammers are the best swimbaits I've ever used. I'll never forget the first time I bought some at the Fred Hall show. I bought some anchovy and keyline colored 4 and 5 in baits. The next weekend I was on an overnight trip to Catalina and limited out on Calicos and sandies before everyone. The next day I went to Puddingstone Lake and landed a 8 1/2 pound Largemouth on the Anchovy 5in BH. The on-line technique articles really do help out. I hope more people check out the web site and improve their fishing skills." - Anthony Acevedo

"I have been using your swimbaits for the past 3 years and have had much success with them. I even landed my first halibut with the "Wookie Wacker" from shore. Something I had been trying to do for a couple of years with many lures and no success. The casts with the Big Hammer and bam!"

- Alex Gonzalez - Santa Barbara, California

"Your plastics work killer on the rockfish up here. I used to live in Southern California before I moved to Seattle. I had a bunch of plastics left over in my box and used them on the shallow water rockfish up here and I was outfishing my friends 10 to 1."

- Darryl Tolen - Seattle, Washington

"Wow!!! About two years ago I ordered a whole bunch of jig heads and different sizes of the swimbaits and for some reason never really fished 'em. Well let me say, this past week I finally used the 1 oz. white head with the 5 inch pearl colored swimbait on our local lake which has a great striper fishery with big rockfish and hybrid. All of my buddies have been laughing at me, as the "popular" lure is a 3/8 oz. round lead head jig with white soft plastic trailer. They're not laughing anymore as I CRUSHED the Hybrid with the Hammer all week and am now Big Hammer Jack...HA!!! This is the lure of choice and I'm "The Man". I just wanted you to know you have a KICK ASS swimbait."

- John R. Lowe, Tennessee

"I have been successfully using your swimbaits to catch hybrid striped bass and largemouth bass for the past few years now. There is no substitute for Big Hammer! I firmly believe these are the best swimbaits on the market."

- Dennis Mantych, Milwaukee, WI

"I purchased some of your 5 inch swimbaits for a trip I took to Lake El Salto, Mexico. I returned with several and wanted to try them here at home in Kentucky for Largemouth Bass. My fishing partner kind of laughed at me when I first tied it on because we don't use larger baits around here much. He wasn't laughing for very long when I caught a 2.12 on my first cast and a 5.13 about an hour later! Big Hammer swimbaits are for real and look great coming through the water. I can't wait to get out there and catch more big fish!"

- Scott Hait, Kentucky

"Thank you for telling me to stick with it! And for telling me to fish Hammers for largemouth like I would fish them for calico bass. I am now slaying largemouth bass on Hammers!"

- Todd Davis, California

"I have gone fishing a few times since we last spoke, and I have to say that those 5˝ inch Big Hammers you sent me are awesome! I have caught a lot of really nice bass and an array of other fish out of Marina Del Rey."

- Ryan White, California

"I just wanted to say thanks for making such a great product.  Big Hammers are my go to baits down here in Florida whether I'm covering a lot of water for Largemouth Bass, throwing to the pilings for Snook, wade fishing for Redfish, or chasing after my favorite fish, the Jack.  It really doesn't matter what kind of jack it is either!  I love to throw Big Hammers at vicious Amberjacks and to the tough Jack Cravalle!  Because of your products' fluttering tail and vivid action, I've been successful in my quest to catch my own trophies!"

- Greg Aguirre - Florida

"I have tried all of those other swimbaits. And my end result was and still is that Big Hammers are by far the best. They have the best action, they have a great selection of colors, and you catch more and larger fish on them. This comes from my experience as a deckhand and a very avid fisherman."

- Bobby Peck

"Big Hammer swimbaits are not only the best priced swimbaits around but also the most versatile baits around! I have fished them shallow, deep, and everywhere in between! They also outlast swimbaits with internal heads 10:1! These are the best baits for my money anyday!"

- Taylor Posey - Sacramento, California

"I just wanted to say thanks. I read the articles from the Big Hammer website and applied a lot of the information to lingcod fishing up here and have been nailing the lings consistently."

- Dustin Sneed

"Big Hammers! They rock. People think I must be working for the company, I rave so much."

- Glen Gustavson

"I get so little time to fish the salt and live so far away from the ocean that I won't waste 2 hours of my fishing day trying to catch bait.  I would rather just throw the Hammer."

- Michael Klasno

"I have not found another soft plastic swimbait that gets bit like a Big Hammer. With Big Hammers you don't sacrifice durability for action. I like the Big Hammers because they seem to last longer than their competitors and more importantly, they seem to out perform their competitors. My number one "don't leave home without it" bait is the Big Hammer 5 inch in the olive with orange belly pattern. With this bait I can catch a bass almost anywhere any time, it is a solid all around choice."

- Steve Greanias

"Their tails really flutter up a storm."

- Oliver Pong

Big Hammer Swimbaits and Grubs – maybe not be a wonder lure like you will see at 2am on some infomercial but I will take them any day over those as I think Big Hammers are the wonder lure. The swimbait's tail design gives great action that invites and entice the fish to respond and bite, the color selection seems to be ever growing, the swimbaits are much more durable than similar ones on the market and Big Hammer offers its Pro Staffers advice to make your use a success. Needless to say when I saw Big Hammer Grubs I had to have them and they have not disappointed me either. I have fished these swimbaits in the Pacific, Gulf and Atlantic with success and figured why not give it a try in freshwater – yep worked there too.

- Tim Durham

Damn nice swimbaits!  Fat kickin' tails (action ALL OVER the traps...). Awesome colors. QUALITY stuff.

- Martin Sliwack

"I bought some at the Fred Hall Show and finally got to use them today at Newport Harbor on the skiffs. Wow! I now really have confidence in swimbaits after using the Big Hammers. I've tried the other brands, but have had no luck. The Hammers have better action - definitely."

- Alex

I would like you thank Big Hammer for introducing me to fishing swimbaits. I love your swimbaits for all types of fishing. My first time at San Clemente Island resulted in a 3 hour calico bite - all caught on Big Hammer swimbaits."

- Chris Martin

The 5" Salt Shaker Worm came through again! Here is a nice Smallie caught and released on a warm evening on the Saginaw River fishing from Shore! You don't even need a boat with Big Hammer Lures! Thanks for everything. - Chad Cwiklinski - Bay City, Michigan

Chuck has been fishing here twice since we came back from Vermont. Those Big Hammer Green Wienie Ringers really worked great here, too. Chuck did great with them. He and his buddy caught about 45 bass (largemouth) in a couple of days. He was pretty excited. In fact, we have already ordered more of them!!!! - Karen Morris - Customer of Green Mountain Custom Guide Service in Vermont

I have been fishing the 5" Salt Shaker Worms on Lake Lanier in Georgia for the last 6 months and now never fish Zoom anymore. I have had tremendous luck with the Salt Shaker Worm while fishing it on the 1/4 oz. Spotsticker jighead. - Craig Goodman - Georgia

I read about Big Hammer Bass Lures on a California fishing forum. I started fishing the 6 inch Junebug colored Salt Shaker Worm on a Carolina Rig. On my third cast that night, in about 15 feet of water I caught an 8 pound/23 inch Largemouth Bass. Two weeks ago, I went back to the same spot and caught, you wouldn't believe it, another Bass around 8lbs. That is two in a row on the same exact Salt Shaker Worm. They are so durable and work great. Now I'm "Hooked" on Big Hammer Bass Lures. My two largest Bass I ever caught have been caught on Big Hammer lures. - Branden Jew - Burbank, California

We used the Big Hammer Green Wienie Pepper colored Curl Tail Ringer Worms to catch some great Smallies on Lake Champlain. Rod Start of Green Mountain Guide Service introduced us to them and we're sure glad that he did. We're going back in a week to give them another try. We caught and released over 25 Smallies in the 3 pound range in one afternoon. Great lures, great guide, great time. - Gary Loudamy - Yardley, Pennsylvania

My name is Kurt Heinrich, I'm 12 years old and I live in Alpharetta, Georgia. I like to go bass fishing with my dad a lot on Lake Windward. The lake we fish has spots and largemouth bass. One night we went fishing off a point with brush piles in it. My dad has always used Zoom lures so he put on a finesse worm and kept pulling out little spots. I put on one of the samples of the Green Pumpkinseed colored Big Hammer Salt Shaker Worms my dad got from renewing his Bassmaster magazine subscription. On my third cast I caught an average sized largemouth. A few casts later I had a bite. As soon as I set the hook I knew I had a big one. I reeled it in and saw that I had it barely hooked. I'm surprised I got it into the boat. Now I do believe the sentence on the back of the package that says "An unsurpassed lifelike action creates a lute that has the look, taste, and feel that forces fish to strike and not let go". The bass weighed 5 pounds 7 ounces and was 21 1/4 inches long. This is the biggest bass I've caught in my life. My dad hasn't even caught anything this big in years. I'm going to start using Big Hammer lures all the time now. - Kurt Heinrich - Alpharetta, Georgia

I received some assorted Big Hammer products as a promotional gift from Landbigfish.com for renewing membership. Threw them in tackle box to use as a last resort and continued to use my old standby lures. I was dropshotting and not having much success so I decided to try another color, the fourth color change of the day, and saw the Big Hammer promo pack. I thought, "what the hey", and put on a 5 inch Salt Shaker Worm in the Green Wienie Blue color. Three bass and a several BIG crappies later the two Salt Shaker Worms were toast. All this came within a half hour of putting on the Big Hammer baits and in the same exact area that I had been fishing. I'm not saying your baits are magic or that I wouldn't have caught them on something else, but I do know that the Salt Shaker Worm will be my go-to bait for drop shotting and finesse worming. Thanks for making a dependable product.

- Paul Vadasz

All I have to say is the Ringer Curl Tail Worm is the BOMB! It is the only thing I use for spotties in Newport Harbor they love it.

- Dana C. Barbrow - Duarte, California

I tried the Ringer Worm last year on our annual fishing trip to the Boundary Waters of Minnesota. In a head to head competition with a fishing buddy, I smoked his Banjo Minnow system.

- Scott Countryman - Whitefish, MT

The Salt Shaker Worm has got to be one of the best worms on the market.  It produces for me when nothing else gets a nibble.  I Texas-rig that bad boy and fish it with a twitch.  That method has produced for me the last 9 times out.  Kudos on that design!

- Keith Collins - Lumberton, TX

The Salt Shaker Worm is by far the best soft plastic bait I have used when fishing for bass.  I got a free sample pack a while back and I love them.  Thanks for an awesome bait!

- Jeff Johnson - Hope Mills, NC

I just wanted to thank you again and let you know that I just put in an order for the 6 inch Salt Shaker Worms. They are the best new bait I've used in a while.

- Mike Mccabe - West Roxbury, Massachusetts

This is one of the best bass baits (Salt Shaker Worm) I have ever used.  It's too bad I used my last one yesterday; catching 9 bass on one bait before it was destroyed.  I'm frantic.  Where can I purchase more?

- James Post - Sandy Hook, Mississippi

Not only is the Salt Shaker the drop shot worm that helped me take 2nd place at the 2000 Bassmaster Classic in Chicago, it's also my favorite soft plastic jerk bait for the deadstick-slow fall technique. - Mark Rizk - 2 Time Bassmaster Classic Qualifier

I was able to get out on the water for a few hours to test out the Big Hammer plastics. One word describes my experience... PHENOMENAL!!!!! The smallmouth slammed all the Big Hammer baits we threw at them. I am VERY impressed with Big Hammer plastics and I don't want to be caught out on the water without any in my arsenal.

- Marc Hutchison, RiverSmallies.com

Big Hammer plastics give me the confidence I need in all fishing conditions. - Mark Tyler, Bassmaster Classic Qualifier and Record Holder - Largest bass ever caught during a B.A.S.S. sanctioned tournament
