Expertly designed by Larry Welcome of NorthBar, the Sporting Wood Bottle Swimmer is the perfect choice for catching big bass. With a length of 7" and weighing approximately 3 oz, this casting swimmer, also known as a bottle plug, guarantees success in your fishing trips.
The lure is extremely versatile and can be fished a variety of different ways.
On those flat calm nights, the lure can be swum on the surface much like a metal lip. A painfully slow retrieve makes a nice wiggle and produces a surface wake that is sure to entice some nice fish.
On open beach without much current, a slow steady retrieve works very well. Mix in a few twitches of the rod tip to really make the lure dart.
The lure loves current rips. Cast this lure out and just take up the slack to remain in contact with the lure as it sweeps. Ever once and a while take a full crank on the reel while lifting your rod tip (you will feel the lure really swim). Reel down slowly while keeping tension on the line. Repeat this retrieve and hold on!
