The Swimbait That Started It All!

Over the past decade, swimbaits have become part of the vernacular in bass fishing all over the world. That wasn't so only 15 years ago, let alone in the mid-1980s through the 1990s. Even with countless fish over 10 pounds from the West Coast, anglers outside that bubble were scared to throw them, and for obvious reasons; they're huge and intimidating.

Today, the swimbait is thrown with confidence all over the U.S. And because we're The Big Bass Podcast, we felt it only appropriate to start covering the history of the swimbait. And who better to start out with than Allan Cole, inventor and maker of the AC Plug, arguably one of the first swimbaits that attained national notoriety.

We hope you enjoy this discussion with Allan and how he came up with the concept, not by wanting to catch trophy bass but through his desire to catch big German brown trout.
