Why This Multi Jointed Swimbait Works
There is something special about a well-designed multi jointed swimbait. It moves differently from every other lure in your tackle box. Not the tight wobble of a crankbait, not the straight kick of a soft swimbait — but a slow, slithering, hyper-realistic S-curve that predators simply cannot ignore.
This 6-segment sinking model nails that movement perfectly. Each joint flexes smoothly, allowing the lure to glide through the water like a stunned baitfish. The hinged segments make the lure twist subtly, and that tiny displacement of water triggers a predator’s lateral line like a dinner bell.
Add in the realistic paintwork, 3D eyes, and solid hardware, and what you have is a hardbait that demands attention from quality fish. Bass love it. Perch hammer it. Pike destroy it. Anything that hunts visually will fall for its natural movement.
Even better, because it is a slow sinking swimbait, you can control the depth perfectly by counting it down. Want to work just above grass beds? Easy. Want to target fish holding on rock transitions? Done. Want to swim it past ambush cover or big timber fields? Perfect lure for it.
For anglers who want a lure that behaves like a real fish — this multi jointed swimbait is a proper winner.
How To Fish This Multi Jointed Swimbait
This sinking swimbait works with simple retrieves, but knowing the right patterns boosts your bite rate massively.
1. Steady S-curve Retrieve (Most Reliable)
Cast long, count it down, then reel slowly. You will feel the soft thump of the tail and see the smooth S-movement. This slow glide works all year round.
2. Glide-and-Pause
Reel slowly for two seconds… stop completely… then resume. Most fish hit during the pause as the lure gently sinks with a natural fall.
3. Slow Roll Along Bottom
Let the lure tick the bottom rocks and gravel. Predators see it as a distressed baitfish hugging structure — perfect for cold fronts.
4. Burn-and-Glide
Reel fast for 2–3 seconds, then drop into a slow glide. Fantastic for warm-water reaction strikes.
Recommended Gear
- Rod: 7’–7’3” medium-heavy or heavy with moderate-fast action. See: Best Bass Fishing Rods.
- Reel: 6.3:1–7.1:1 baitcaster for controlled retrieves.
- Line: 12–20 lb fluorocarbon or braid with fluoro leader.
The lure weighs 17.5 g, so it casts beautifully even in wind — great for bank fishing.
When To Use This Lure
Being a sinking multi jointed swimbait, this lure excels in deeper or mid-depth conditions where predators feed on injured baitfish.
Spring
Use on points and staging banks where prespawn bass cruise. Slow glide retrieve works best.
Summer
Fish early and late along weed edges, submerged grass, and timber. Burn-and-glide shines.
Autumn
The season of aggression. Work windy banks, creek mouths, and baitfish schools. This is peak swimbait time.
Winter
Still works, but painfully slow. Let it sink deep and slow roll along bottom contours.

Very. A slow steady retrieve is all you need for consistent bites.
