The FATHEAD swimmer is a hand turned
lipless type swimmer, sealed against water for maximum durability, and
painted by hand. Weighted perfectly for optimum presentation! It uses VMC Permasteel 4X strong 4/0 Belly hook,
6/0 VMC bucktail dressed siwash tail hook. 150 lb Rosco swivels and 2X strong 90lb Rosco split rings.
Stainless steel thru-wired.
Oversized 3/4" reverse
Holographic eyes for
maximum effect! Stainless Steel hardware where possible and through wired for maximum strength!
Perfect for stripers, or saltwater gamefish!
Proper presentation of this swimmer is to cast then twitch the rod tip
occasionally while retrieving, this will allow the lure to "wiggle" from side to
side. While the lure is wiggling the tail is swishing back and forth for
the action that fish can't resist.
Vary your retrieve, slow for stripers, faster for bluefish. Will stay in
the top 3' of the water column.
The FATHEAD swimmer has a
completely new weighting scheme that I've spent hundreds of hours
perfecting. This is also I believe the first time there has ever been a
commercially available wood swimmer like this with squid eyes. We custom
built a machine just to make these lures so they're consistent each and
every time.
We hope you like the end result!
