Description

2 piece rat that cranks down, swims, walks and wakes. This isn’t your typical wake bait rat. It excels as a “sneaky swimmer” , getting just subsurface on medium retrieve with a killer swim. Rod tip down will allow the rat to dive a foot or so. Rod tip up with slow retrieve will wake. Lastly (and my fav) fishing up against docks and grass lines, walking and pausing. This rat has a killer “walk” ( 4.25” body - 1.8oz ) -stainless hardware. -recessed screw lock for tail. -custom tails. -gamakatsu ss magic eye hooks. -pitbull ss split rings. -Volk Outdoor custom lip

Field Notes

This rat-style swimbait is built to be fished multiple ways: wake it on a slow retrieve, let it run just under the surface on a medium retrieve, or walk it with pauses around docks and grass lines. It’s a good choice when you want a larger profile and a more natural, sneaky presentation rather than a hard-chugging topwater.

Pros

  • Versatile action: wakes, swims, and walks
  • Works well around docks and grass lines
  • 2-piece design with custom tail and quality hardware

Cons

  • Large profile may be too much for finesse situations
  • Best results likely require some tuning of retrieve and rod angle
