Description

Meticulously designed to help anglers land the catch of a lifetime, the Mattlures Hardgill Swimbaits rely on impressive action that instigates aggression as well as an amazingly detailed natural appearance. They start with an anatomically accurate profile that is enhanced with 3D scaling, fins, gill rakers, and eyes which combine to make a bait real enough to fool even the most seasoned bass. Behind the hard segmented body is a soft, yet infallibly durable tail that is designed to last the life of the bait without need for replacement. Not all about the looks, the Hardgill Swimbaits backs up the next-level visual realism with a seductive swimming action that demands attention from any predator lurking in the area. The action can be changed from a lazy S-pattern to a tight swimming motion with a simple change of your reel cadence.Backing up the action and visual attraction of the Mattlures Hardgill Swimbaits is a powerfully durable foundation. The body of the bait is constructed with Matt’s signature “super resin” that is built to stand up to abusive strikes and harsh fishing conditions without fail. Heavy-duty stainless steel hardware joins the body segments and anchors the split rings to ensure lasting and reliable performance. The baits also come outfitted with razor-sharp treble hooks to button up any trophy bass that decides to tangle with the Hardgill Swimbaits. While some of the paint schemes feature up to 20 layers of coloring for extreme durability, all of the baits rely on a special clear coat that is hook rash resistant and discourages chipping or flaking. Combining optimal performance with stellar good looks, the Mattlures Hardgill Swimbaits are built to challenge your lake’s biggest bass.*Please Note: These swimbaits are handmade and may vary slightly in color and weight.MattluresLengthWeightClassMagnum Hardgill5-3/4"~1-3/4ozFloatingMagnum Hardgill5-3/4"~2ozSlow SinkMagnum Hardgill5-3/4"~2ozMedium Sink

Field Notes

Use this as a realistic bass swimbait when fish are feeding on bluegill or other panfish. The segmented body and soft tail are built to produce a natural swimming presentation that can be varied from a lazy S-pattern to a tighter track by changing retrieve speed. Best around cover, edges, and other areas where trophy bass are hunting larger forage.

Pros

  • Highly realistic bluegill profile
  • Versatile swimming action from slow to faster retrieves
