The Big Hammer 3" Swimbait gives you a compact baitfish profile for freshwater bass and inshore fishing. Its square tail adds swimming movement to a simple retrieve, while the unrigged soft-plastic body lets you choose a jig head to suit the depth and current. Sold individually, it's an easy way to build a color selection without buying a full pack of each pattern.

Downsize When the Forage Is Small

When fish are feeding on small baitfish, a larger swimbait isn't always the right starting point. This 3-inch body offers a smaller presentation for swimming along rocky edges, working bay structure or covering freshwater shoreline. Start with a steady retrieve, then add brief pauses to change the bait's pace rather than relying on constant rod movement.

Choose it for a compact, jig-head-rigged approach to largemouth bass, calico bass, spotted bay bass and halibut. An exposed-hook setup is straightforward to rig and fish, but it can catch weeds or snag rock. Keep it above heavy cover, and carry spare bodies because soft plastic can tear during fishing.

Match the Head to the Water

Pair the body with a suitably sized Big Hammer Swimbait Jig Head. Check that the hook fits the short body without crowding the tail. Start with the lightest head that lets you maintain the depth you want; increase weight when current or deeper water makes the bait difficult to control.

For shallow edges and calmer water, swim it steadily above bottom. Around deeper structure, let it sink before retrieving and use occasional pauses to return it to the strike zone. For halibut, try a controlled retrieve close to sandy bottom, avoiding excessive slack. These are starting approaches, not fixed depth or weight prescriptions.

A Color for Your Starting Point

Use shad- or smelt-style patterns as a starting point when matching local baitfish. Pearl offers a light-colored alternative, while a darker pattern can provide a different silhouette. Let water clarity, light and the forage you see guide your choice, then change one variable at a time so you can judge the response.

Key Features

• Compact 3-inch soft-plastic swimbait body.
• Distinctive square-tail design.
• Unrigged body for a jig-head setup suited to your conditions.
• 15 selectable color patterns.
• Sold individually so you can mix colors.
• Useful for freshwater bass and inshore swimbait presentations.

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Thread the body straight onto the hook. Test it beside the boat or bank and re-rig if it tracks unevenly.
• Mark where the hook should exit before rigging so the body stays straight and the tail remains free to move.
• Carry a natural baitfish pattern and a contrasting option. Adjust retrieve speed before changing both color and head weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a rigged lure or a replacement body?
It is an unrigged soft-plastic swimbait body, sold individually. Choose a suitable jig head separately.

What jig-head weight should I use?
Choose by depth, current and retrieve speed, not lure length alone. Start light and increase weight only when you need more depth control, while checking hook fit on the 3-inch body.

Can I fish it in freshwater and saltwater?
Yes. Use it for freshwater bass or an inshore presentation for calico bass, spotted bay bass and halibut. Match your hook, leader and tackle to the fish and structure.

When should I choose a larger profile?
Stay with the 3-inch body when you want a small baitfish presentation. If you want a slightly larger, more detailed profile, compare the Big Hammer 3.5" Full Body Swimbait.

The Big Hammer 3.5" Full Body Swimbait is a compact, high-action soft swimbait built to trigger feeding responses from a wide range of predatory fish. Its realistic baitfish profile and Big Hammer's signature square tail design produce an aggressive kicking action and natural body roll that pressured fish can't ignore — whether you're working structure in the surf, kelp beds, or freshwater flats.

Molded with textured scales, gill plates, lifelike eyes, and detailed fins, the 3.5" profile matches the size of common forage species and excels on a jighead, swim jig, or drop shot rig. Available in 9 proven colors to match any water condition or forage.

Key Features

• Realistic full-body profile — textured scales, gill plates, eyes, and fins for maximum visual appeal
• Square tail design — produces aggressive kicking action and body roll on the retrieve
• Versatile rigging — jighead, swim jig, or drop shot
• 9 colors available — Sexy Smelt, Ledge Crawler, Rainbow Trout, Green Sardine, Surf Smelt, Red Rum, Bay Smelt, Pacific Chovy, Red Calico Hunter
• Sold individually

Specs

The Big Hammer 5" Swimbait puts a substantial baitfish profile and a distinctive square tail on your favorite jig head. Fish it on a steady wind along a kelp edge, count it down beside structure, or work it near the bottom for halibut. You control the depth and pace through head weight, retrieve speed, and sink time rather than being locked into one presentation.

On a coastal drift, that flexibility matters: start with a swimming retrieve above the structure, then slow down and let the next cast reach deeper water. The same 5-inch body lets you explore different parts of the water column without changing lure style. Bodies are sold individually, so you can build a color rotation without buying a full pack of each pattern.

Put Your Swimbait at the Right Depth

A bait that passes above feeding fish or drags constantly through rocks is difficult to fish effectively. Pair this body with a Big Hammer Swimbait Jig Head and select enough weight to maintain control in the current. Rig the body straight so the tail can move freely, then check the swim beside the boat or bank before making a full cast.

The advantage is an adaptable soft-plastic setup with a replaceable body. The tradeoff is that soft plastic can tear, and an exposed jig hook can snag in dense kelp or rock crevices. Carry spare bodies and work cover edges rather than expecting a snag-free presentation.

The Right Pick for a Bigger Baitfish Profile

Choose the 5-inch size when you want more presence than a small finesse swimbait while keeping a straightforward cast-and-retrieve presentation. It is a useful option for calico bass, sand bass, halibut, and lingcod around coastal structure, bays, and kelp edges. For a larger silhouette, compare the Big Hammer 6 1/2" Swimbait and match your tackle to the heavier total rig.

Simple Shape, Flexible Setup

• 5-inch soft-plastic body: a baitfish-style profile for inshore swimbait fishing.
• Square tail: the defining tail shape of the Big Hammer design.
• Separate jig-head rigging: adjust head weight for depth, current, and retrieve speed.
• Color choices: baitfish patterns, darker silhouettes, and contrasting tails.
• Sold individually: mix colors and carry replacement bodies.

One Size, Shared Specifications

Dial In the Retrieve Before Changing Colors

Steady swim: cast, allow the bait to reach the desired depth, and retrieve at a controlled pace along open kelp edges or above structure. Start with manageable current and enough visibility to observe the rig's action near you.

Countdown and swim: use a repeatable sink count to explore deeper water. Increase head weight if current prevents you from maintaining the intended depth, but use the lightest head that still gives you control.

Bottom-oriented presentation: for halibut or fish holding low, let the rig reach bottom, then use short lifts and a slow swim just above it. Maintain line awareness on the fall and avoid leaving the head wedged in rocky cover. Choose a rod rated for the combined body and jig-head weight.

Choose Color for the Water in Front of You

Start with Pacific Chovy, Sardine, Green Sardine, or Bay Smelt when you want a baitfish-style look. Try Pearl for a simpler light-colored profile. Silver Phantom and Midnight Phantom offer contrasting chartreuse tails; Toasted has a dark tail. Treat these as starting points, then let water clarity, light, local forage, and fish response guide your choice.

Tackle Express Tips

• Mark the hook exit: lay the head beside the body before threading it on. A straight body is the first thing to check if the rig rolls or tracks sideways.
• Change one variable: adjust sink time or retrieve speed before switching both head weight and color. It is easier to repeat a productive presentation.
• Inspect after each fish: check the nose for tearing and the tail for damage. Replace a body that will no longer stay straight on the head.

Before You Rig One Up

Is this a pack or a single swimbait?
Each purchase is one 5-inch swimbait body, sold individually.

Does it come with a jig head?
No. Choose a separate jig head with a hook that fits the body and enough weight for your depth and current. Check the fit rather than selecting a head by weight alone.

Should I fish it fast or slow?
Start with a steady retrieve that keeps the bait at the intended depth. Slow down for bottom-oriented fish or increase the pace when fish respond to a moving bait. Recheck tail movement whenever you change the rig.

Choose your color above and pair it with a suitable jig head to build your next inshore swimbait setup at Tackle Express.

The Big Hammer 6 1/2" Swimbait gives you a larger baitfish profile for calico bass, striped bass, and largemouth bass when a smaller soft bait does not match the forage. Its soft-plastic body and square tail make it a versatile jig-head presentation: swim it along an open kelp edge, count it down beside a point, or slow the retrieve over deeper structure.

Picture a drift past a kelp line with baitfish showing just outside the cover. Rig a body straight, let it settle to the depth you want, and bring it back on a controlled wind. You can change head weight and sink time as conditions change without abandoning the larger profile. Each body is sold individually, making it easy to carry a few color choices and replacement tails.

Match Larger Forage Without Locking In One Depth

Choose this size when you want a more substantial silhouette than a compact swimbait, particularly around larger baitfish. A separate jig head lets you adjust the rig for current and depth. For a smaller presentation or a step down in profile, compare the Big Hammer 5" Swimbait.

The tradeoff is tackle demand: match your rod to the combined weight of body and head, not just the head alone. Soft plastic can tear after bites, and an exposed jig hook can snag in thick vegetation or broken rock. Keep spare bodies handy and work open lanes or cover edges.

Rig Straight Before You Cast Far

Pair the body with a Big Hammer Swimbait Jig Head sized to fit its depth and length. Lay the hook alongside the body first, note the exit point, and thread the plastic on without bunching it. Check that the body sits straight and that the tail moves freely during a short test retrieve.

Head weight depends on water depth, current, line, and retrieve speed. Use the lightest head that keeps the bait under control at your intended depth. Confirm hook fit on the actual body rather than assuming every head of the same weight has the same hook dimensions.

Best For Bigger-Profile Swimbait Fishing

Reach for this bait when fishing calico bass along open kelp edges, stripers around points and bait schools, or largemouth bass outside weed lines and over submerged structure. It can also be worked as a larger soft-bait option for pike and musky with species-appropriate tackle and bite protection. Start where feeding activity or visible forage gives you a reason to use a larger profile.

A Simple Body With Room to Adjust

• 6 1/2-inch length: a substantial baitfish-style profile.
• Square tail: a broad tail surface for a swimming presentation.
• Soft-plastic body: rig on a separate, appropriately sized jig head.
• Freshwater and inshore applications: adapt the rig to your target fish and local conditions.
• Sold individually: select colors and spare bodies without committing to a full pack of each.

Shared Specs Across the Color Lineup

Find the Depth, Then Set the Pace

Steady swimming: use a controlled retrieve along structure edges or outside vegetation. Begin with a speed that keeps the bait tracking straight, then adjust to the fish's response.

Countdown fishing: repeat a sink count after each cast to explore a consistent depth. Extend the count to search deeper, and shorten it when the rig contacts cover too often. Wind and current can change the sink path, so treat the count as a repeatable reference rather than an exact depth measurement.

Lift and swim: allow the rig to settle near structure, lift it clear, and swim it forward before letting it fall again. Maintain awareness of the line on the drop and keep the head out of rock crevices. In stronger current, adjust weight or casting angle before simply retrieving faster.

Start With a Color You Can Explain

Pacific Chovy gives you a dark back with a light belly, while Olive Herring offers an olive-and-gold look. Calico Hunter and Red Calico Hunter provide layered brown and orange tones with contrasting bellies. Halloween II and Creeping Death offer darker backs over warm-colored bodies; Toasted adds a black tail. Use these visual differences to start with a forage match or a contrasting silhouette, then change color based on fish response rather than expecting one pattern to fit every day.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check the total rig: choose a rod with a lure rating suited to both the soft body and the jig head.
• Test beside you: if the bait rolls or pulls to one side, straighten the body before changing your retrieve.
• Store tails straight: avoid folding the tail under other tackle, and inspect the nose and hook exit after each fish.

Before You Choose Your Color

What makes Big Hammer Swimbaits so effective?
The square tail gives this soft swimbait a unique action initiates aggressive strikes.

Is a jig head included?
No. Select a separate head that fits the body, then choose its weight for your depth, current, and tackle.

When should I choose this over the 5-inch size?
Choose the 6 1/2-inch body when you want a larger forage profile and have tackle suited to the complete rig. Step down when a smaller bait better matches the forage or presentation you need.

Specs

The Bottom Dweller Swimbait Painted Shiner6 is a 6" custom hand painted slotted swimbait  your local bait-fish. An extremely soft but durable plastic with a memorizing action triggering giant bites and lasting through each fight. The Shiner6 is a soft bait with everything you're looking for in one from the head wobble, to the body roll, the hard thumping tail and tracking abilities at all speeds.

This bait is RIG & THROW.

We recommend 15-20lb fluorocarbon line & Owner's 6/0 - 8/0 Beast Hook for best results.

The bait weighs approximately 2oz, and requires stout hooks and line. Please throw on an appropriate 7'+ H-XH rod.

1 bait per pack.

The Swimbait That Works Every Way You Fish It

The Bottom Dweller Baits Shiner4 is a 4" soft swimbait built for anglers who want one bait that does it all. Whether you're slow-rolling a lead head along the bottom, running it on an A-Rig, or using it as a bladed jig trailer, the Shiner4 delivers a lifelike, fish-catching action that gets bit. Sold in 3-packs in proven color patterns, it's a staple for freshwater bass fishing and inshore calico action.

Built for Multiple Rigging Styles

The Shiner4 is engineered to perform across a wide range of presentations. Rig it on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook for a weedless setup, pair it with a lead head and 8–12lb fluorocarbon for a finesse slow-roll, or run multiple baits on an umbrella rig for a schooling baitfish effect. Its weight distribution and body profile allow seamless transitions between techniques without sacrificing action.

When Generic Swimbaits Fall Short

Most soft swimbaits are built for one technique and one technique only. The Shiner4 is different — its body taper, tail kick, and weight balance are dialed in to produce natural action whether it's swimming fast, slow-rolled near the bottom, or trailing behind a bladed jig. You get a bait that adapts to the fish, not the other way around.

Lifelike Action + Fluorocarbon Sensitivity = More Bites

Pair the Shiner4 with 8–12lb fluorocarbon and you'll feel every subtle tap and bump. The low-vis fluoro keeps the presentation natural, while the Shiner4's tail kick does the work of mimicking a fleeing baitfish. The result is a bait that looks real, feels real, and gets eaten.

The Right Pick If...

• You want one swimbait that works on a swimbait hook, lead head, A-Rig, or bladed jig
• You're targeting bass, calico, or other predatory fish in freshwater or inshore environments
• You want a proven color selection in a 3-pack value format
• You need a trailer that adds action to your bladed jig or umbrella rig

Best Fishing Techniques

• Slow-rolling on a lead head near the bottom
• Weedless rigging on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook
• Alabama/umbrella rig (A-Rig) — multiple baits for a schooling effect
• Bladed jig trailer for added action and profile
• Mid-column swimming retrieve

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where a natural baitfish profile shines
• Slow to moderate retrieves when fish are lethargic or pressured
• Schooling baitfish situations — match the hatch with shad or shiner colors
• Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and rivers; inshore calico kelp fishing

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, calico bass, striped bass
• Techniques: Swimbait fishing, A-Rig, bladed jig trailer, lead head slow-roll
• Line: 8–12lb fluorocarbon recommended for lead head presentations

Key Features

• 4" soft swimbait with natural baitfish profile
• Compatible with 2/0–4/0 swimbait hooks
• Works on lead heads, A-Rigs, and bladed jigs
• Unrigged weight: ~0.5 oz
• 3 baits per pack
• Available in Hologram Shad, Sexy Shad, Big Fish, White Ghost, and Rainbow Trout

Models & Specs

Unrigged Weight: ~0.5 oz  |  Length: 4"

Tackle Express Tips

• Go lighter on the lead head in cold water. When fish are sluggish, drop to a 1/4 oz head and slow your retrieve way down — the Shiner4's tail does the work even at a crawl.
• Match the color to water clarity. Hologram Shad and White Ghost shine in clear water; Big Fish and Sexy Shad are go-tos in stained or off-color conditions.
• Use it as a bladed jig trailer for a bigger profile. Thread the Shiner4 onto your bladed jig hook for added bulk and a more pronounced tail kick — deadly when bass are keying on larger baitfish.

FAQ

What hook size should I use with the Shiner4?
A 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook is the ideal range. A 3/0 is a great all-around starting point for most presentations. Match hook size to the lead head weight and the depth you're fishing.

Can I use the Shiner4 on an umbrella rig?
Yes — the Shiner4 is an excellent A-Rig bait. Its compact 4" profile and natural tail kick create a convincing schooling baitfish effect. Run 3–5 on a standard umbrella rig frame for maximum impact.

What line should I use?
For lead head presentations, 8–12lb fluorocarbon is recommended. Fluoro's low visibility and sensitivity make it ideal for slow-rolling the Shiner4 near the bottom. For A-Rig or bladed jig use, match your main line to the technique.

The Big Bait That Triggers Giant Bites

The Bottom Dweller Baits Shiner6 is a 6" slotted soft swimbait built to imitate the large baitfish that trophy bass and big predators key on. With a head wobble, full body roll, and a hard-thumping tail that tracks true at any speed, this is a rig-and-throw bait that does the work for you. If you're targeting quality fish over quantity, the Shiner6 belongs in your box.

Engineered for Big Bait, Big Fish Fishing

The Shiner6 is built around a slotted body design that allows it to be rigged weedless on a heavy swimbait hook with zero fuss. The extremely soft yet durable plastic gives it a lifelike flex and feel that fish don't want to let go of, while the body's action — head wobble, body roll, tail thump — works at slow crawls and faster retrieves alike. At approximately 2oz, it has the weight to cast on heavy gear and get down to where big fish live.

When Small Baits Stop Getting Big Bites

When pressured bass stop responding to finesse presentations and smaller swimbaits, it's time to upsize. The Shiner6's 6" profile triggers reaction strikes from fish that have seen every small bait in the box. Big bait, big profile, big fish — it's that simple.

Soft Enough to Feel Real. Tough Enough to Last.

Most soft swimbaits in this size range either feel too stiff to produce natural action or tear apart after a fish or two. The Shiner6 uses an extremely soft but durable plastic that survives the fight without losing its action. You get a bait that feels real on the bite and holds up through multiple fish.

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting trophy largemouth, spotted bass, or other large predators
• You want a big bait that tracks true at all retrieve speeds
• You fish heavy swimbait setups with stout rods and 15–20lb fluorocarbon
• You need a weedless rig option in a large profile bait

Best Fishing Techniques

• Weedless rigging on a 6/0–8/0 heavy swimbait hook (Owner Beast Hook recommended)
• Slow-rolling near the bottom or along structure
• Open water mid-column swimming retrieve
• Big bait fishing around docks, points, and deep structure

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where a large baitfish profile is visible
• Post-spawn and fall when bass are feeding on larger forage
• Pressured fisheries where smaller baits have stopped producing
• Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and deep structure

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, spotted bass, striped bass, large predatory fish
• Techniques: Big bait swimbait fishing, weedless slow-roll, open water swimming
• Gear: 7'+ Heavy to Extra-Heavy rod, 15–20lb fluorocarbon, 6/0–8/0 hook

Key Features

• 6" slotted soft swimbait — weedless-ready design

• Tracks true at all retrieve speeds
• Extremely soft yet durable plastic construction

Models & Specs

Length: 6"  |  Weight: ~2 oz  |  Slotted body design

Tackle Express Tips

• Go with the Owner Beast Hook 6/0–8/0. Bottom Dweller specifically recommends this hook for a reason — it's stout enough to handle the 2oz bait and strong enough to land big fish without straightening under pressure.
• Fish it slow. The Shiner6's action is most effective at a slow, deliberate retrieve. Let the tail thump do the work — resist the urge to speed up, especially in cold water.
• Match color to forage. Sexy Shad and Mint Silver shine in clear water; Big Fish is a go-to when bass are keying on larger, darker baitfish or in off-color conditions.

FAQ

What hook and line do you recommend for the Shiner6?
Bottom Dweller recommends the Owner Beast Hook in 6/0–8/0 paired with 15–20lb fluorocarbon line. The heavy hook handles the 2oz bait weight and the fluoro's low visibility keeps the presentation natural in clear water.

What rod should I use?
A 7'+ Heavy to Extra-Heavy rod is required for this bait. The 2oz weight demands a stout blank to load properly on the cast and set the hook effectively on big fish. A dedicated swimbait rod in the 7'6"–8' range is ideal.

How many baits come per pack?
The Shiner6 comes 1 bait per pack. At 6" and ~2oz, this is a premium big bait — each one is built to last through multiple fish thanks to the durable soft plastic construction.

The Deps Frilled Shad 4.7 Inches is a realistic reproduction of streamlined baitfish with enhanced real action that trembles and rolls, perfectly imitating smelt and other baitfish that live in many waters. The bait features a quivering action and unique twisting swimming action that triggers strikes from bass feeding on small forage fish.

During the retrieve, a rolling action with shaking from side to side is created automatically—just swim it back and the bait will do the rest. The ultra-realistic body mold includes lifelike eyes that make it look just like a baitfish, getting more bites in tough situations when bass are wary or pressured. Available in two versions with 0% salt content for maximum action and 10% salt for better casting distance.

The innovative fan-shaped lip that spreads over the head passes the water stream around the bait and creates a rolling action with unique trembling motion. The lip acts as a brake to reduce movement more slowly, making it possible to effectively work rocks and sticks where bass live. Since the hook is hidden, the lip also acts like a weedguard, allowing you to fish through cover without constant snags.

Key Features:

• Fan-Shaped Lip: Creates rolling action with unique trembling motion
• Quivering Action: Realistic trembling and rolling mimics live baitfish
• Unique Twisting Swim: Side-to-side shaking action triggers strikes
• Ultra-Realistic Body Mold: Detailed sculpting with lifelike eyes
• Soft Body Construction: Lifelike feel appeals to wary bass
• Weedguard Function: Hidden hook design reduces snags

• Carolina Rig: Dragging presentation for deep structure

Retrieve Techniques:

• Straight Swim: Steady retrieve showcases natural rolling and trembling
• Slow Roll: Methodical retrieve along bottom structure
• Stop-and-Go: Pause to let bait sink and trigger following fish
• Work Cover: Slow retrieve around rocks and sticks using lip as brake

Ideal Applications:

• Waters with smelt or small baitfish populations
• Clear water situations requiring realistic presentations
• Pressured or heavily fished waters
• Around rocks, sticks, and structure
• Tough conditions when bass are finicky
• When bass are feeding on small forage fish

When you need a realistic soft swimbait that delivers unique trembling action, natural rolling motion, and lifelike appearance for tough conditions, the Deps Frilled Shad 4.7 Inches is the choice of serious swimbait anglers.

The DUO Bayruf BR Fish 5" is a 5-inch paddle-tail soft swimbait engineered for big-fish presentations.

The Keitech Swing Impact 2.5" takes the proven Swing Impact paddle tail design down to its smallest size, adding a new dimension to finesse swimbaiting.
