Sebile ACAST Magic Swimmer 125 Swimbait

Sebile ACAST Magic Swimmer 125 Swimbait



The real life action of the magic swimmer will fool the most finicky fish. Its specially designed joints allows for a naturally free-swimming motion guaranteed to trigger strikes. As it subtly moves through the water its sound chamber emits a discrete chatter. Superior balance allows for excellent casting and a steady retrieve at a variety of depths. This swim-bait is best used with a steady retrieve accented by twitches of the rod-tip. Speed and depth of retrieve are controlled by the angler.

Recommended for: Bass, Walleye, Striper, Redfish, Speckled trout, Snook, Pike and other predator species.

Sebile Evidence Series
The Evidence series of lures are created with great detail to accurately mimic the swimming movements and distribution of weight and water of natural prey when retrieved. Each lure is created with superior mass transfer for maximum distance and accuracy when cast. The blood red eye's send out a 360° signal easily defining the zone of the attack! The highest quality stainless and corrosion resistant components available are used in manufacturing the Evidence series.

Exactly what a swim bait was meant to be! The Magic Swimmer has taken anglers to an unparalleled universe where the unnatural fades into the natural and becomes part of the perfect fish story. The Magic Swimmer has taken the stage this season dominating professional US tournaments catching loads of fish and helping anglers to win hundreds of thousands of dollars. The unique and natural action that sets the Magic Swimmer apart from all other lures is derived from its thin and balanced design. In this unique lure, the body is jointed in three parts to function together in rhythmic dance as art imitates perfection to make this impostor appear to be the real thing. Swim the lure slow or fast, at your discretion, as allowed by the bait’s perfect balance. Each twitch of the rod sends the Swimmer into an erratic lunge that signals predators it is weak and vulnerable prey. Its natural swimming action even during steady retrieves is just too much for most gamefish to resist and is effective when cast, trolled or even on a drop shot rig.




The two joints and 3 part body of the Magic Swimmer makes this bait so perfectly balanced that it swims like a real fish .Try it you may have some small baitfish trying to school with this nearly perfect illusion! The hooks are linked to the colors, as some are more specific for freshwater and come with Owner ST36, others are more saltwater oriented and come with ST46 hooks. Is there any secret in the swimming action of the Magic Swimmer… ? It is all about the flattened nose which cuts the water straightly, making turbulence on both sides of its body ; then it starts to be alive and having a side to side motion … The details of the Magic Swimmer make it a very lifelike bait not only in swimming, but also by its finish. The Magic Swimmer can be trolled, cast, twitched, jerked, played stop-and-go… or you can do anything you want with it, even a 360° turn with a little experience – this is deadly on bedding or shy fish !

Snack Size Swimbaits

Snack Size Swimbaits


As swim baits go, the Snack Size Trout is a not a huge bait, but a very manageable size bait.

Coming in at exactly 7" from head to tail and weighing in at 2.2 oz for the floaters and 2.4 for the slow sinkers, the idea behind the design of the Snack Size Trout was for it to be big enough to call the attention of the bigger fish, but not so cumbersome and big that you would have a problem throwing it all day. Tournament anglers were definitely in mind.

The bait was also designed to be fished in a finesse type fashion (if it is even believable to think of a swim bait as a 'finesse bait'). There are times when fish don't want a giant clambering 13" trout.

This is when the Snack Size Trout shines.
Fishing the Snack Size Swim baits
As with most topwater swim baits and wake baits there are ways they can be fished, but here are several techniques that really make this bait shine above others

One is to fish the bait much like a rip bait or a fluke, with subtle rips and pauses. This can be done fast or slow depending on the read and reactions you get from the fish.

This can be mixed up and done in several ways, the obvious being twitches and pauses of the rod tip itself. A similar but different effect can be achieved through short rotations of the reel handle. This is much more effective while using braided lines, but can also be tried with other copolymers.

What you want to do is point your rod tip directly at the bait and reel in short, fast bursts and pauses - anywhere from a quarter turn, up to a few full turns with pauses both long and short in between. This will cause the bait to do a number of things: dart and turn, or roll slightly at higher speeds. This can also be used to turn the bait 180 degrees to face a following fish. Combine the reeling action with short fast rod tip movement and the bait really comes alive.

I had a day June on Clear Lake where the wind picked up on a point and I was pulling the bait through small wind waves and popping it out to go airborne and splash down very loudly. I caught 5 fish in a row doing this.

By design, this bait is not at its best when reeled strait it like some bigger lipped wake baits may.

Longer pulls of the rod tip let the bait be pulled just under the surface, only to pop back up as if it were a scared or wounded fish. This I find to be deadly early in the year pre-spawn when fish are actively feeding.

To state the obvious: the Snack Size Swim baits can also be dead-sticked - left on the surface to move freely by water motion alone. This can be great in clear water when fish are inactive.

Equipment
Because of its size and workability the Snack Size baits do not require giant swim bait set up.

I recommend using a small reel that can be easily palmed. One thing you want to look for is a high speed ratio at least 6.2 to 1. You will also need a bigger spool capacity for plenty of 20 to 25 pound test or braid. A reel such as the Shimano 300 is ideal.

I have several rods I fish the bait on all of which are available here at Hi's TackleBox.

Here in no particular order:

The Powell 765 7'6" small swimbait rod, the Dobyns 7'9" Mike Long series 796, as well as the Rouge 796. These three rods are all in my boat with a Snack Size Swimbait tied on.

Let's talk line: 90 percent of the time I throw 'The Snacker ' (as a lot of friends have nicknamed it) on 25 pound P-line Floroclear. I step down a notch with 20 pound CXX because of its incredible resistance to breakage. The other 10 percent I will use a 65 pound braid; I tend to use braid when I am really feeling tricky and that bait is going to work its magic. The response with braid is 2nd to none. I will usually reserve this for stained water and active post-spawn into summer fishing.

Finally - remember to think outside the small swimbait box and don't be afraid to try new tricks and techniques.

Castaic Catch22 Rainbow Trout Swimbait

Castaic Catch22 Rainbow Trout Swimbait


The Castaic Catch22™ series soft swimbait features a revolutionary flexible InnerArmorTM fiber skeleton that provides structural strength and support and reinforces vital joint sections. A Castaic Catch22™ is ultra soft, looks like a fish, swims like a fish (whether retrieved seductively slow or burned back fast) and WILL LAST FOR 22 BASS, GUARANTEED! Every Castaic Catch22™ is guaranteed to catch 22 bass without losing its ability to swim. If a bait breaks before catching 22 bass, return the bait, along with $7.50 shipping and handling for a one time replacement.

HOW TO FISH YOUR CATCH22:

Not only is the Castaic Catch22 the most durable soft swimbait you can buy, it’s also the most versatile! You can crank it slowly and seductively. Or, you can burn it like a freaked out baitfish. Deadstick it. Twitch it with the enticement of a preyfish death dance.

Make a gentle, sweeping sidearm cast. Allow the bait to settle momentarily, or to sink to the desired depth. Begin a steady retrieve, then switch speeds until the lure achieves your preferred motion. Impart little rod tip jerks and twitches. Occasionally, experiment with prolonged pauses
for ultra-negative fish.

On a straight retrieve, the Catch-22 swims with the alluring motion of a carefree, yet slightly injured preyfish. Twitching and popping the bait makes it dart, turn, and glide. Deadsticked, the 22 hovers in place or slowly sinks, depending on the lure’s rate-of-fall (Floating or Slow Sinking). Burned and bulged, the 22 can elicit explosive surface strikes. Each of these retrieves, employed in the proper situation, will compel huge bass and other fish to eat the lure like it’s livebait.

And because it’s the only swimbait on the market that folds up and collapses inside the fish’s mouth, the 22 will hook more fish than any other swimbait on the market. Combine that with the No Throw sliding hook system, and you’ll not only hook fish, you’ll land them, too. For these reasons and more, the Catch22 is the biggest breakthrough in swimbaits in a long time.
