Thinking of trying these, any one else use them and if so where can I buy them around here.

I use them regularly. If you are fishing trout waters, the smallies go crazy for pro blue pearl red. I get mine at Ramsey outdoor, but I think Dicks stocks them also.

Andy, these have been my go-to lure for the last couple of years, I use them for almost anything...especially the 3, 3.5 inch swing impacts....Have caught my personal best Largemouth, smallmouth, channel cat, pickeral, and even my biggest carp on them! Absolutley LOVE these lures...have even used them in salt as a teaser for fluke and for snappers with success...best colors for me personally have been green pumpkin, black, and the 'pro staff special'....I will say this though- for the best results, you really need to use their jig heads- they are tungsten and smaller for their weight, and I think non-tungsten heads seem to mess up their action....got hooked on these up in lake george a while back, and havent looked back since....havent really been able to find a local supplier, but I think the guy that imports them is on hopactcong...

Meltzers in Garfield has em.
First time i used them this year up in Lake George and the bass went crazy.
Not sure on the size but they were small, casted and retrieved on light jig heads over rocky bottom.

Dicks carries them now, so does ramsey outdoors. The neighbor across the street from my dock on LH is the official distributor for our zone, hes got a sweet new ranger and his white escalade says keitech on the plate. He gave me a bunch of the swing impacts and another style and i did pretty well w them on the Urigs trollin for wipers, smallies love em too

I always use them for smallmouth fishing only thing I don't like if a small fish grabs the tail it rips very easily but still caugh over 40 smallmouth in 3 hrs using them!

At first I had no idea when you were talking about, then when I googled it I realized I had bought a couple of packs of the Swing Impact at Franks in Wanaque earlier this year. I remember thinking that they were pretty expensive for plastics and that they had better be good for that price.
I haven't caught anything with them but then again I was at Monksville when I used them.
How do you all rig them? I tried them weightless on T rig style worm hook and on a drop shot.

Hate to bump an older post, but wanted to reiterate that these things catch anything and everything....bunch of snappers on them today, and the bubbster got to reel in his first striper on one as well

Nice stripe there Bub, those small ones led to bigger ones and put up a pretty good fight while there at it.
