Core Tackle

The Core Tackle Finesse Tush Swimbait Hook is a finesse-forward take on Core Tackle's popular Tush series. Backed by a sticky-sharp, light wire custom VMC 2/0 60-degree jig hook, it delivers a more natural profile and action for finesse swimbaits than a traditional weighted head.

The hidden weight design pours lead directly around the shank of the hook, giving your swimbait more side-to-side body roll and a natural glide on the pause. The result is a more compact overall profile — easier to skip, farther to cast, and more effective on pressured fish.

A stacked cone design firmly locks your swimbait in place, prolonging bait life and letting you land more fish per bait. Available in three weight sizes perfectly suited for light tackle finesse presentations.

The Core Tackle Tush is a fundamentally different approach to swimbait rigging. Unlike traditional swimbait jig heads that place all the weight at the front of the bait, Tush centers the weight inside the swimbait body — which changes everything about how the bait performs.

The result is more side-to-side belly roll on the retrieve, a more natural appearance in the water, and a compact profile that skips easily into tight cover. The internal weight system also locks the swimbait in place, prolonging bait life and saving you money over time. A Tackle Warehouse Best Seller and made in the USA.

Key Features

• Internal weight system — all lead hidden inside the bait for a natural profile
• Enhanced body roll — weight redistribution produces more side-to-side belly roll on the retrieve
• Higher hookup ratio — removing lead from the head improves hook penetration and conversion
• Compact design — skips easily into tight cover; more compact than traditional swimbait jig heads
• Swimbait lock — internal weight locks bait in place, extending bait life
