Description

McArthy’s Slinky is one of the most versatile baits in our lineup when you’re looking to imitate a baitfish. What makes this compact swimbait truly unique (besides the numerous ways to rig it) is the insane amount of belly roll it creates on any rig which is a proven strike triggering mechanism for bass.
