Field Notes

This is a compact hard swimbait designed to chop and swim with a realistic profile, making it a good choice when bass are feeding on threadfin shad or other small baitfish. Use it with a steady retrieve, occasional pauses, or slight rod twitches to make the bait track and trigger reaction strikes. The adjustable hinge pin lets you tune the swim and add weight for different retrieve speeds and water conditions.

Pros

  • Realistic baitfish profile
  • Adjustable swim/tuning with removable hinge pin
  • Hand-painted custom finish
  • Rotating hook hangers help improve hookup performance

Cons

  • Premium price point
  • Requires proper gear and tuning to get the best action
