About the Brokeback Swimbait

A jointed hard-bodied swimbait in bone white with a segmented "brokeback" profile that produces an exaggerated side-to-side S-curve swim on a straight retrieve. The wide rolling action displaces more water and generates more flash than a standard swimbait, triggering giant bass and muskie by sight and lateral line. Fish it slow and steady near the surface or over submerged grass. When big fish are keyed on large profile baits, nothing else comes close.
