| So What are you guys thought on The Swimming Dog vs The Possidion vs The Shadzilla....I have used shadzilla and Possidion and really like both havent used swimming dog yet but Just watch video on it and possidion and think I like how swimming dog swam a lil btr...I have no gripe about possidion have caught fish with it and love shadzilla too....Wondering If I really need to buy swimming Dogs with having the other two in multiples but wanted to hear some of you guys chime in on your pref and when?
Thanks guys |

| Haven't used it much yet but it seems it's action is more of a belly roll than the other two. If that's what the fish want that day... Personally I'll just stick with the shadzillas just cuz there already in the box. |

| After all the hype of the Swiming Dawg and the Poseidon, I regretfully concluded I like the action and profile of the 'ol Shadzilla the best. Still too early for me to really decide. The middle of the summer on LSC is burning swim baits time for me, so we will see what produces fish, which is all I care about. But right now, it's hard to beat a White Zombie Shadzilla. |

I love the Shadz to myself and the posidion has done well for me and I think its the most durable like how they both move but like stated above does seem that the swimmin dog does have a better Belly roll to it but havent ever fished myself just what iv seen on video |

Location: Eastern Ontario | I love the Shadzilla made about a mile from me but I just bought a Savage Gear 12" Line Through Trout in a redhorse sucker pattern to try. A friend had great success with one last year. The online videos of the action are amazing ( I hate that over used word ) I do think the hooks will need to be up sized. |

| I use all 3 and Swimming Dawg has provided the most action for me. You didn't ask about Savage Gear Burbot (eelpout) but that has been incredible for me so far this year. |

Get the 16" model Frank, they are deadly and come with 7/0's |

20" Burbot is awesome! |

| We've caught fish on both the Swim Dawg and Poseidon... Paint jobs better on Swim Dawg, but Poseidon gets the nod if I had to pick one.
my 2-cents. |

Location: Madison, WI | Posseidon, for 2 reasons durability and action. All 3 catch fish, but why spend money on something that gets shredded too easily? I've used all 3 and not only does the posseidon caught more fish, but it keeps on going. The other 2 get hot and they shred plus they need tuning aftrewards. Not worth the hassle |

| In my opinion, and I have multiple of all 3. I prefer the Posseidon. both durability and action has made my decision, I found I can get the entire body of the posseidon to swim and belly roll with almost nothing more than a steady retrieve- add a couple pulses of the reel and it really looks fishy! castability of posseidon is probably the best of the bunch. durability I think is fairly obvious when you hold all 3 in your hand... fish have told me they like the posseidon more as well in my personal experience.. so that extra confidence makes my decision easier, but they will all catch fish. |

| I've used all 3 and I'll add another vote for the Poseidon. I like the durability of them we've got several big fish on one particular bait thus far and the thing still looks brand new. |

Location: SE Wisconsin | Posseidon's are amongst the few clutch baits in the handful I bring when I'm hopping in someone else's boat, and I've always got a pair of them in my pedestal box for someone to throw when they hop in my boat (along with a couple other duplicate "must have's". My first Posseidon has been eaten so many times it has more glue holding it together than rubber, I love that bait and it's still swimming strong. |

Wow, good to know. I am a big Shadzilla fan. But I heard the Posseidon is really really tough. I will have to get one. |

| I have caught upwards of 20 fish on one Poseidon. I like the durability and they obviously catch fish. Good body roll and solid hooks. |

| I have used the Swimmin' Dawg a lot this summer, It has a great belly roll and flash and the paint jobs are second to none. I have averaged 7 fish per bait so I think that is pretty good. Have caught quite a few on them and Muskys up to 50.5" so far.
Fish were after it even in the toughest of conditions. I would highly recommend getting some. I cant wait to use them this fall.

| Only thing I dont like about the Shadzilla is seems like they get shredded fast..possidion seems muck more durable but Im in shock you get 7-9 fish off a swimming dog they seem more similiar to shadzilla than possidion....I cant see possidion lasting 7-9 fish |
