About this piece
The Smith Bottom Knock Swimmer 2 is a specialized trout lure designed by Hiroyuki Motoyama to target pressured fish that ignore horizontal presentations. Its unique design allows it to stand on the bottom with the tail pointing upward, swinging side to side on a bottom pump or twitch, and vibrating on a steady retrieve.
Key features
- High-density tungsten weight concentrated in the head for stable bottom contact
- Tail buoyancy keeps the lure upright on the bottom
- Versatile actions: bottom swing, vibration, and twitch-induced sways
- Equipped with a D-Contact hook size #12
Best for
- Trout in pressured or heavily fished waters
- Bottom fishing in rivers and streams
- Management-fishing ponds (check local regulations)
