As the swim bait craze progresses, the technology keeps getting better. When you first walk down the tackle store aisle and look at all the swim baits competing for your dollars, at first it’s hard to tell which will do the best job. Among hard swim baits, I have discovered subtle variations that make a significant difference in terms of performance.

The biggest factor is the characteristic that some swim baits have to behave in a lifelike manner in the water — to accurately mimic the true, natural movements of a fish. If swim baits are going to attract gamefish, their movement has to be as lifelike as possible. Tru-Tungsten swim baits are so natural in the water that the difference between them and real bait fish is nearly impossible to discern!

Not only do these baits appear lifelike in the water, but with a very simple removal of a pin you can add or remove some Tungsten weights from a weight chamber. Tru-Tungsten has engineered a chamber that holds two Tungsten ball weights. Using just a pair of needle nose pliers, you can change the drop rate of the bait easily and quickly. The BB-type weights sit in the chamber and do not change the lifelike movement of the bait. They ergonomically drop the bait with enormous detail and movement so you can work the bait as a wake bait on top, just under the surface, or drop it down to skim the bottom structure. This is truly a difference maker, because in most baits adding weight changes the movement. Tru-Tungsten swim baits’ lifelike movement with or without the BB weights are just amazing.

Ish Monroe and Matt Newman designed this lure for Tru-Tungsten, and their design is now the gold standard for swim baits . It makes their competitors’ versions obsolete. Try it; I promise you’ll immediately see the difference!
