When I first began my fishing guide service at Lake Lanier more than 40 years ago, we had an abundance of largemouth bass and very little fishing pressure, so it was fairly simple to catch fish on almost any standard bass lure. Over the ensuing years, however, the largemouth bass began to decline because of shallow fishing techniques, many bass tournaments, and a loss of natural habitat along the shorelines. Therefore, the black bass population changed to 20% largemouth and 80% spotted bass, which required new methods to catch them.
Using my knowledge from my days of wading the Georgia streams and the European rivers for trout, I began experimenting with spinner type lures. Finally the Swirleybird evolved in a crude fashion.
Over more than 30 years of development, the Swirleybird has matured into a perfect size that imitates baitfish well, casts easily, and maintains its attractive qualities from the time it hits the water until the end of the retrieve. These attributes make this lure especially good for anglers of all ages and skill levels in most parts of the world for almost any fish at anytime of the year.
