About this piece
The Smith Bottom Knox Swimmer 35 is a hard-bodied minnow-style plug designed for bottom-oriented trout fishing. Its 35mm length and 4.2g weight make it a compact, finesse option for pressured or neutral trout. The lure features a high-density tungsten weight concentrated in the nose for stable bottom contact while maintaining buoyancy in the tail.
