Description

The Mattlures Hammer tail bluegills feature a patent protected tail design. The Hammer tail gets its name from the thump you can feel as you retrieve it through the water. Because you can feel the tail thumping, you will have confidence the bait is doing what its designed to do. If you can feel it thumping then you know the bass can to! This tail will swim at any reasonable speed. From ultraslow to about as fast as you can reel. Because of the tail design the baits can be made with a harder, stronger plastic and still perform exactly as they are supposed to. With the use of this stronger plastic these baits are very durable. The baits sit at rest with their nose down and their tails slightly upward. When they sink, they swim downward instead of spiraling. They come in 2 sizes: Ultimate Hammer Tail: 5 1/2" length – 2.15 oz. U2 Hammer Tail: 4 1/2" length – 1.30 oz.

Field Notes

Use this as a soft swimbait for bass when you want a realistic bluegill profile and a strong tail thump. It can be retrieved from ultra-slow to fast, making it useful for steady casting around cover or open water when fish are tracking bait. The nose-down rest and downward swimming sink make it a good choice for controlled retrieves rather than dead-sticking.

Pros

  • Strong tail thump you can feel on the retrieve
  • Durable harder plastic construction
  • Swims well at a wide range of retrieve speeds

Cons

  • Only one color/pattern is listed
  • Heavier size may be less suited to finesse presentations
