About this piece
The Smith Bottom Knock Swimmer 35 is a hard-bodied minnow-style lure designed for bottom-oriented trout fishing. Its compact 35mm body and 4.2g weight incorporate a high-density tungsten tip for balanced suspension and lifelike action.
Key features
- High-density tungsten weight concentrated in the nose for upright tail floatation
- Maintains a tail-up posture on the bottom, even in current
- Horizontal swimming with slow side-to-side tail action on a straight retrieve
- Twitching produces erratic left-right and vertical swing movements
- Added 35mm size expands the lineup beyond the original model
Best for
- Managed trout fisheries (stocked ponds and lakes)
- Bottom fishing when trout are neutral or sluggish
- Fishing in flowing water where bottom contact is key
- Subtle presentations with slack line and twitch retrieves
