These swimbaits from Storm Lures are the essence of simple effectiveness. The Wild Eye Swimbaits feature a sharp hook molded into a lead head with the soft plastic body molded around the whole hook/head unit. This creates a simple, easy to use bait and the soft plastic makes the tail kick actively, which will attract fish and get bit. These baits are deadly for all kinds of gamefish both fresh and salt and are heavy enough to cast a long way and swim deep. The Wild Eye Swimbaits are priced quite reasonably and are tough enough stay together for fish after fish. With the hook situated on top of the head, you are less likely to hang them up on the bottom, which means you can really dredge the deep structure looking for lunkers. However you fish them the realistic looks and swimming action will get bit.
Comments: I use these things all the time and they work great! I've never used them bigger than 4", until now, I just ordered a bunch of these things. Great bait for the money. Every kind of fish hits them!
From: Ken: Granbury, TX 11/28/21
Comments: These things catch all kinds of fish! Redfish, Trout, bass, striped bass, and many more. My favorite color is pearl because it looks like a lot of different types of baitfish. Unless you fish where they are eating bluegill, baby bass or crappie go with pearl. I got my first pack from my grandfather and killed the redfish and bass on them. They are so good sometimes you canât get so if you can afford/want to catch fish buy the 3 inch pearl. 10/10

Comments: This bait saved my fishing trip I was getting snagged with all of my lures and the fish weren't even biting I threw this bait on and instantly caught 2 nice small mouth bass
From: Taylor: Mishawaka 5/20/18
Comments: Caught my first bass ever using the 3"pearl color and had another bass bend out an Eagle Claw swivel hook that I had it attached to. Thanks Storm for helping me catch my first bass ever.
From: Mike: Atlanta 10/6/17
Comments: Completely disastrous!! I have fished Storm Wild Eye Shads for the longest time when they used to come in a plastic Ziploc sachet type packaging. However, it seems like they have since changed supplier and these baits are now made in Indonesia. At first I didn't think anything of it, I put a bunch of them into my tackle box together with my other soft plastics. Guess what happened? First, they decided to suck up the colour from the other soft plastics, it seemed it had initiated a chemical reaction with the other lures. I was a bit upset and didn't think much of it. That was until I noticed they started melting away. The lures became all sticky and dripped the plastic onto other lures and is impossible to wash off. Don't do it, they don't even swim that well. I knew I just had to make a post here to alert everyone. I have just binned a ton of lures because of it.

Comments: I used the 6" in the pearl color today (7/5/17) for tarpon on the pier here in the panhandle of Florida. Let me tell you, 2nd cast I landed a 70lb tarpon! I was nervous about the hook but it penetrated great! I had my drag on my Van Staal VR175 TIGHT (couldn't pull line by hand) and it didn't straighten the hook! These are a winner in my book!
From: Nathan: Panama City Beach 7/5/17
Comments: I have fished these Storm Wild Eye Swim Shad Swim Baits for years on the West Coast of Florida. The Crystal River area has less available bait schools than the East Coast and I use artificials almost entirely over here. I had initially used the 4 inch size, but in the last year I have dropped down to the 3 inch size in Pearl color. I am consistently out-fishing everyone else in my boat. These lures come out to a dollar a piece and can last hundreds of casts. Durability depends on how many Spanish mackerel and ladyfish are in the area. Using the 3 inch size, in the last 2 weeks I have caught 5 snook over 10 pounds, as well as many redfish and large jacks.I even caught a 20+ pound black drum with this. The 3 inch size has proven to be a large fish producer and it is heavy enough to cast a good distance with 15lb braid. The package says this lure is 1/4 oz, but right next to it it says 10gms.This is 0.35oz, which makes a big difference for casting. I highly recommend this swim bait. For the first time in my life I have stopped searching for bait schools with my cast net. Life is much simpler without cast nets and live wells.
From: Jerry Gibbs: Crystal River, FL 5/6/17
Comments: I use these baits for Walleye fishing on Potomac River, Maryland. Very durable and great for bouncing off rocks. Have caught some really nice Walleye, Smallmouth, Largemouth, and Crappie. The bait holds up against tough conditions and big fish of many species.
From: SixxNyne: Westminster, MD 4/3/17
Comments: Very good lure, caught many bass on it. They get torn up fairly easy, but they're cheap enough so that it's still worth it. I sometimes like to actually pitch these o cover, and jerk em around. It works!
From: Zach: Washington, DC 8/30/16
Comments: I love storm swimbaits & storm arashi crankbaits but for some reason this swimbait doesn't swim as good as the swimbaits that come with treble hooks.
From: Rick: Baltimore, MD 7/11/16
Comments: The is a great pre-rigged swim bait. I've only used the 4" & it weights 7/16 oz. TW should post the weights in the descriptions bc they are heavy. Great tail action even slow rolling. Sometimes you loose fish bc only one hook but it's a very sharp & strong VMC. Add a small split ring for a little more motion. Also you can boil the tail for 10+ seconds which will soften it up for even more tail action. It has a flat bottom so you can cast it, let it sink to the bottom, then slow roll it. But keep it above the grass. The bass will slam it coming thru the grass or a ledge.
From: John: Germantown, MD 5/26/16
Comments: This bait works great! this is my go to lure in the winter, summer & spring in the pond where i fish the shad works the best. I've caught bass, crappie, pike, and blue gill.
From: Andrew: VA 6/20/15
Comments: The 2 inch version is one of my favorites not only for bass but for crappie, bluegill, white bass, yellow bass, striper, you name it. It is my go to cold water bait over slow finesse presentations. Reel it very slow in 50 degree water and you will get slammed! (Chartreuse is the best)
From: Andrew: Grand Rapids, MI 6/30/14
Comments: The 3 inch works well on the Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. because the exposed hook affords a positive hook set, the built in weight imparts stability on the retrieve, and the holographic foil insert enhances the flash effect of the rig.
From: Vince: Tucson, AZ 5/17/14
Comments: Absolutely love these baits. I haven't found one thing wrong about these baits. I love the eratic side to side movement that these bait swim in almost like a crankbait but not at fast and repetative. Very durable plastic with a soft enough tail that it does have some good action. I fish very overfished waters in my area and I have experimented and found that you only have a couple of options when fishing overfished waters. One option is throw something that the fish have never seen before, or you can throw something that resembles the baitfish really really well and I think that this fish does cover both areas.
From: Tucker: San Antonio, TX 4/29/14
Comments: Great swimbait to throw on cold days, hot days, and in between days, if you have minnows where you fish the bass will engulf them not to mention crappie. seems to works even better than live bait, once i was fishing with a buddy and he was using live minnows and shad he didn't catch a single fish all day and i caught thirty one bass in less than thirty minutes, ten were a pound,about five were three pounds, and the rest were all over five pounds. after that i just went home cause my harm was hurting so bad. I've tried all the colors and the only two that seem to work are the pearl and the chart/silver, use the pearl in clear water and the chartrues in murky or green water.
From: Caleb: Memphis, TN 3/13/14
Comments: If you aren't catching fish with these it's because there are no fish where you're fishing. I fish inshore saltwater in Fla., and these are my go-to lures in 3 and 4 inch. Shad color in the spring, moving to chartreuse in the summer and fall. Can't miss for spotted sea trout and redfish. I saw on a forum where some joe-pro fisherman dissed these because he thought it made fishing too easy for regular people. Hah!From: Bobby: Cocoa Beach, FL, USA
Comments: Like everyone else said. These baits work, especially in the fall, or on the really hot days in the summer. Pretty much anytime the fish are balled up waiting for something to swim by. My only gripe, is that they put a super monster thick hook in the 6" baits. I usually cut that beast off and rig it with a double or treble. These baits are good to throw in the places you wouldn't dare throw a "real" swimbait, but if you come anywhere near a tree/rock with that thick hook, you aren't getting it back. Also, the 6" baits say 7/8 ths oz on the package, but they are almost 2 ounces. So keep that in mind when deciding what rod to throw them on. A couple years ago in November I was yanking 6 & 7 lbers, one after another with this bait. I caught a dozen fish over 5 lbs in 30 minutes. It was by far the best day on the water I ever had. Look for the seagulls and toss this bait under them.
From: Carphugger: Indianapolis
Comments: Im here to tell ya...These baits work! While in mexico I was at the lodge with some swim bait freaks from California. They had prototype swim baits from Matt Servant and multiple other high end swim baits. This bait out fished them all. IÕm a swim bait FREAK! After my stay in Mexico I was tossing my high end swim baits to the guides and dock hands like I was on a float in a parade tossing candy to kids. DonÕt need em. Stick with the basics boys! When you think of senkos you think Gary Yamamoto. When you think of swim baits you think storm. They last forever considering theyÕre soft body swim bait. Place a dab of Mend-it behind the hook and game on! Tight lines fellas. Remember what your boy Ike says sweep that rod like a boss and get more hook ups with the swim bait.
From: Brandon: Columbia Falls, MT
Comments: these baits have a slight shoulder roll that most similar baits do not have. i think it makes a difference in strike ratio. if you fish in waters that have lg. mouth -sml. mouth and stripers, this is a great swimbait to throw. all the bass like this lure but stripers LOVE them. the bunker and mullet colors are the favorites. the hooks are first rate as is the quality from lure to lure. the 4" size is effective altho i like the larger sizes when the stripers are abundant. in off colored water the chartruse color works great. wal mart stores sell these and have them marked down every once in a while. they simply catch fish, give them a try and see for yourself--
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: these swimbaits just work. They are durable and the bass just choke them.
From: Justin: Mason, Ohio
Comments: we have been using these for stripers for the past few years never go without them.tried the berkley because they were more in a pack.my friend hooked 2 an broke the hook on both so i will stick with the storm From: Doug: Blacksburg, SC
Comments: Got a little tip when the tail falls off. Take a curly tail worm and rip the tail off, next glue or melt it to the swimbait. It looks different and might work even better!
Comments: Yeah they are great for slow rolling in clear cold water. Like some other people have said the tail does rip off quite easy when the fish are nipping at it. But otherwise, it DOES catch fish.
From: Colton: Kansas
Comments: seen this bait on show used in mexico. It caught 10lb bass. Its great action and swims great. Try one and match the hatch. Good fishing to you!From: Alex: Kansas
Comments: good little bait on an a-rig. however the berkely swimbaits are a little better value because you get 5 instead of 3. overall decent.
From: Miles: AZ
Comments: Great swim bait! Looks real, has a great wobble, and has great sharp hooks! From: Preston: IL
Comments: Catches fish better than I expected, wish it had a little more action though.
From: Chris: Ohio
Comments: These baits work great! my only complaint is the tails rip off a little easy. but i get these in mass quantity! these are the only baits in my tackle box that catch bass in the toughest conditions. had some of my best fishing days on these. once got 6 fish in just 1 and a half hours. one just below 4 pounds. get these you will not regret it
From: Reid: North Carolina
Comments: great action, really sharp hook too, i throw it along the shore and the bass just kill it every time. it gets through the weeds well too even though it is not weedless
From: Manchester, MI
Comments: love storm swimbaits and these perform just as well as all the others i've used. used these yesterday and caught 2 nice 4 pounders great lure and the hook is very sharpp
From: Tristan: Hoover, AL
Comments: I love them, me and my brother have caught many bass on lake Hartwell, on them I use the shad color. All of the fish we caught were form 1.5 lbs. to 3lbs.
From: Garrison, Bogart, GA
Comments: Storm really made a winner with these baits. They have an excellent side to side wobble, very sharp hooks, and they flat out catch fish. On top of that they are very durable I caught 26 bass, 1.5 to 4lbs 10oz and everything in between ON ONE BAIT before the tail was ripped off. The price is also excellente'.From: Cory: Upper Midwest
