6 Segment Multi Jointed Swimbait – 10cm 17.5g Sinking Hard Bait for Bass, Pike and Walleye

If you like throwing “proper meal” baits rather than tiny snacks, this 10cm, 17.5g 6 segment multi jointed swimbait is right up your street. It is a fully jointed hard bait with six segments, a solid ABS body, 3D eyes, #6 trebles and a slow-sinking rating that keeps it grinding through that 1.5–3m strike zone. The multi-jointed body gives it a natural S-curve as it swims, and the internal metal weight helps it cast like a little missile so you can actually reach the good stuff instead of just the margins.

The product page lists it as a 6 segment multi jointed swimbait in a 10cm length around 17.5–18g, with random baitfish colours, a sinking design and a dive range of roughly 1.5–3m. In other words: a classic jointed “eat me” profile that you can throw at bass, pike, walleye, trout and pretty much anything that lives on panic-stricken baitfish.

Why This Lure Works

Multi-jointed hard baits have one job – look like a panicking baitfish that has made a very poor life choice. This 6 segment multi jointed swimbait does that nicely. The six short segments let the body fold and snake on the retrieve, so instead of a stiff wobble you get a smooth S-shaped swim that really stands out in clear or lightly stained water. Wired2Fish’s rundown on how and when to fish multi-jointed swimbaits points out that this more fluid swim is exactly what sells the illusion of a real fish cruising or fleeing along a break or weed edge. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Because it is a sinking bait, the internal metal weight is doing double duty. First, it gives you the 17.5g-ish mass you need for proper casting from bank or boat. Second, it helps the lure track true and stay down in that working band. You are not fighting a floater that wants to pop up all the time; you are working a slow sinker that naturally sits in the face of fish holding off the bottom or along mid-depth structure.

Outdoor Life’s big “best swimbaits for bass” feature makes the same basic point about all good hard swimbaits: they give you the look and presence of a solid baitfish without a crazy amount of effort, and they keep showing up in best-of lists because big bass just keep eating them. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} This 6 segment multi jointed swimbait is very much in that mould – simple, believable profile, sensible weight, no weird gimmicks.

On top of that, the paint jobs and 3D eyes help finish the trick. You are not trying to fool a marine biologist; you are trying to make a predator commit in half a second. A chunky 10cm frame, nice flank flash, jointed body and a little wobble are usually all it takes. BassResource’s long-running swimbait guide sums it up neatly: swimbaits work because they offer a big, realistic mouthful that looks worth the effort. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

How To Fish It

The beauty of a 6 segment multi jointed swimbait is that you can fish it a bunch of different ways without needing a PhD in swimbait theory. Think of it as a versatile search bait that just happens to look like a proper meal.

1. Straight retrieve with a bit of life

The easiest way to start is a simple cast-and-wind:

• Cast past your target – points, laydowns, grass edges, riprap, the usual haunts.
• Let the lure count down a couple of seconds to get into that 1.5–3m band.
• Wind steadily so you feel the thump and see the rod tip pulsing.

Wired2Fish’s video on how to fish multi-jointed swimbaits for fall bass leans heavily on this “steady with speed control” style – just enough pace to keep it swimming clean, with the odd slight acceleration to suggest a nervous baitfish. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

2. Slow roll over structure

When fish are sulking around deeper rock, timber or channel swings, slow things down. Use that sinking nature:

• Cast beyond the structure and count the lure down.
• Start a slow, deliberate retrieve, keeping the rod tip low.
• Let the bait tick the top of cover, then lift the rod slightly to climb it over.

Field & Stream’s guide on fishing big baits for big bass talks about this constant balance between staying close to cover and not wedging your lure. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} The 6 segment multi jointed swimbait is ideal for that game – enough weight to stay honest, but not a lead brick.

3. Burn and kill

If you suspect they are following but not committing, try a “burn and kill”:

• Burn the bait for 4–6 handle turns to make it look like it is fleeing.
• Then kill the retrieve and let it sink on a semi-slack line.
• Engage again and go back to a medium pace.

Wired2Fish’s swimbaits-for-bass guide and various YouTube swimbait breakdowns all mention how many bites come either just as you kill it or the instant you restart. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} This 6 segment multi jointed swimbait, with its jointed body, looks incredibly “wounded” on that fall.

4. Bank angles and boat positioning

From the bank, try to cast parallel to the shore or along the face of structure so the lure spends more time in the strike zone rather than swinging away into dead water. From the boat, set up so you can bring it along the length of a weedline or contour instead of just across it once.

When To Use It

The 6 segment multi jointed swimbait is not a one-season diva. You can throw it most of the year if you adjust speed and depth.

• Spring: As fish slide up from winter haunts, a slow-rolled jointed swimbait along secondary points and the first drop outside spawning bays is absolute money. That is exactly the sort of scenario swimbait guides on sites like Wired2Fish talk about – big baits for big prespawn females. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• Summer: Early and late, work it along shaded banks, weedwalls and riprap when baitfish are active. Midday, either fish it deeper along ledges, or swap to something more subtle. If you want a full seasonal breakdown, there is a handy deep-water swimbait piece on BassFishingTips.US that gets into summer techniques in detail: this swimbait guide is worth a brew and a read.
• Autumn: When bass and pike are chasing shad, roach or other baitfish in pockets and creeks, the 10cm profile is perfect. You can cover water quickly, and the bigger frame helps you cherry-pick better fish instead of just rattling through rats.
• Winter (milder days): On those slightly warmer spells, a painfully slow retrieve just above deeper structure can be the ticket. Let the 6 segment multi jointed swimbait do a lazy roll rather than a frantic burn – big baits, slow speeds, classic cold-water formula.

Does It Actually Catch Fish?

Short answer: if you put it where hungry predators live, yes. Swimbaits in general keep showing up in “best bass lures” lists from places like Outdoor Life and Field & Stream because they flat-out catch big fish when conditions line up. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

This particular 6 segment multi jointed swimbait hits a very handy sweet spot:

• 10cm is big enough to be a serious meal, not a snack.
• 17.5–18g gives you the casting distance and control you need.
• The slow-sinking, 1.5–3m range matches loads of “everyday” venues – canals, small lakes, bigger reservoirs, rivers.
• The jointed body keeps it looking alive even on a slower retrieve.

The item specifics even list a whole rogues’ gallery of species – bass, pike, walleye, muskie, catfish, trout, redfish and more. Realistically, anything that regularly harasses 10cm baitfish will have a go. You will not win a swimbait culture war on r/bassfishing with it, but you will absolutely bend a rod.

Gear Pairing

You do not need a dedicated broom-handle swimbait combo for this one, but it is still a decent chunk of plastic and metal. A sensible all-round setup makes it much nicer to fish.

• Rod: Around 7′ to 7’3″ medium-heavy with a moderate or mod-fast action. Enough backbone to cast 17.5g confidently, but with a softer tip to keep trebles pinned.
• Reel: Mid-speed baitcaster in the 6.4:1 to 7.3:1 range, or a 3000-size spinning reel if you prefer. You want something you can crawl as well as burn.
• Line: 12–17lb fluorocarbon or mono works nicely for most situations. If you are fishing around savage cover or toothy pike, bump it up and consider a short wire or heavy fluoro leader.

Suppose you want to build a little “big bait” section in the box. In that case, you can pair this 6 segment multi jointed swimbait with a floating crank like the Plastic Float Crank Bait – 10cm 14g biomimetic plug for banging shallow cover, and a surface option like the Whopper Plopper style topwater lure when they are blowing up on top. If you are still getting your head around lure choices in general, the best bass lures for beginners guide on the site is a good “big picture” read.

FAQ

Final Verdict

If you have been meaning to get into hard swimbaits without dropping silly money, this 6 segment multi jointed swimbait is a cracking starting point. It is the right size, the right weight and the right depth range for 90% of “normal” sessions, and it looks enough like a real baitfish that predators will not overthink it.

Tie it on when you want to show the fish something a bit bigger than the usual crankbaits and spinners, cover some water and give bigger bass, pike and walleye a proper reason to lash out. Fish it steady, fish it slow, fish it with a burn-and-kill – just do not baby it. This is a lure that earns its keep by being out there, grinding away where the trouble lives.

When that rod loads up and the bait stops dead mid-retrieve, you will know exactly why so many anglers keep a jointed swimbait somewhere in the box.

Send this jointed bait down a lane of angry fish and see which one loses its temper first.
