New favorite swimbait! The slow sink version is the most realistic looking swimbait that I’ve seen in the water. Just a slow steady retrieve with an occasional pause or twitch. Bass hit this thing like a freight train. There are no subtle takes. I really like the way the hook is setup in this bait. The hook “sets” into the top of this swimbait via the line through design, so when the fish hits the lure the hook disengages from the soft swimbait. The fish has no leverage against the lure to throw the hook. Well thought out design! So far the soft body of the lure seems like it will hold up well after several fish. Caught a 10 lb monster to start the day. I’m a believer in this new bait!

Caught them on jigs, Ned rigs, and dropshot. Will bite Ned rig when sight fishing. Bigger fish caught on deep football jigs super slow in 10-15 feet.
