Here's a question I've not seen asked yet. 

What's everyones recommendations for a shallow trolling bait with the widest, most insane wobble?  I know you guys have a few in your arsenal and I'm looking to add a few to mine.  So give it up!! 

Please and thank you,

- Scott.

7'' Tomic, great lure for pike, very wide and irrational wobble.

Storm Giant Thundersticks are pretty good. Track pretty straight but do have a pretty wide wobble (as far as the tail of the bait swinging around). I don't know many guys who use them, I use both the super shallow version and the deeper version. Smacked a very large pike with the deeper version last night over open water. The shallow version is awesome for trolling over the tops of weeds or right on the weedline. If you have cisco's or tullibee's they also excel when that bait is really riding high and busting the surface. Kick up the speed at those times and when a big esox hits they totally murder these things.

I like the way Swim wizz and Zalt "roll" slow from side to side(belly flashing), but they run more medium depth(6-8feet). Gliders like Salmo fatso and Salmo slider work's good for shallow trolling, more hunting action than wobbeling.

Fishing a bait close to a side board will get it running shallow, if doing so the 16" Grunt is the widest wobbling bait i own.

It has a unique double wobble. Sorry about the video. First one I ever did and I had to take video of my video to get it uploaded. Same as my Loch Ness Monster series of videos...

Made in the USA to boot.

Did a search via Google.  What bait specifically by Tomic are you referring to?  I looked at their website and didn't see anything I was terribly impressed with.  There is a jointed bait (usually referring to as a "stick bait") and from the looks of it - it doesn't look like it would be all that impressive.

Can you advise which bait in particular?

Thanks for the suggestion!!  Just picked one up today.  Looks like a decent bait and I'm anxious to see how it looks in the water.

Thanks!  Did a search and didn't see anything on eBay but it looks like a great looking bait!  I'll need to place an order from R&H and give this one a shot.

It's either the Tomic Classic or the Tomic Multi, the Multi has two hook eyes while the classic has one.
I dont know were you can get them in the US, probaby trolling sotres and eBay.
