Description

Designed to accurately imitate the profile, tail swing, and movement of large baitfish, the Deps Highsider 220 Swimbait was inspired by the sight of fleeing dace from a flock of monster bass at the storied Ikehara Dam in Japan. Featuring a 4-piece ABS resin hollow body construction, the Highsider 220 is a cranking big bait with high-floating action that reduces your chances of snagging even when contacting obstacles like weeds or rocks with quick-rising action.Equipped with a detachable polycarbonate lip easily removed by pushing the release lever forward, the Deps Highsider 220 dives underwater to create sharp action while offering excellent impact resistance and obstacle avoidance. When the lip is removed the Highsider functions more like a wakebait, as the body stirs up water to create waves on the surface reminiscent of baitfish that are driven to the surface and quickly escape.The ultra-thin elastomer tail adds a glamourous element that greatly increases the sense of life by restricting the amplitude motion of the tail and encouraging enticing undulating movement from the mid-body section. Armed with three razor-sharp outbarb treble hooks, the Deps Highsider 220 Swimbait is fitted with heavy-duty split rings, a 1/0 center hook, and 2/0 hooks on the front and rear to ensure your success with large predators.DepsLengthWeightDepthClassHighsider 2208.6"4.8oz5ftHigh-Floating

Use around cover, weeds, and rocky areas where a large baitfish profile can trigger big bass. The high-floating body and removable lip let you fish it as a shallow cranking bait or a wakebait, depending on how much surface disturbance you want.

Pros

  • Large baitfish profile for trophy fish
  • High-floating design helps reduce snags
  • Removable lip adds versatility between cranking and waking

Cons

  • Big bait may be intimidating for smaller fish
  • Requires gear capable of handling large swimbaits
