About this piece
The Smith Bottom Knocker Swimmer 35 is a 35mm hard bait designed for bottom-oriented trout fishing. Its high-density tungsten weight concentrated in the front keeps the tail buoyant, allowing it to rest on the bottom with the tail pointing up — perfect for neutral or pressured trout.
Key features
- Compact 35mm body with high-density tungsten nose weight for stable bottom contact
- Tail-up resting posture on the bottom, even in current
- Horizontal swimming with a slow tail-wagging action on a straight retrieve
- Aggressive swing action on twitches, both side-to-side and up-down
- Effective tool when trout ignore horizontal presentations
Best for
- Native trout and stocked trout in streams and lakes
- Bottom fishing in flowing water or still water
- Fish reluctant to chase or respond to horizontal lures
- Bottom-tapping, swinging, and twitching retrieves
