Shimano Bantam Bt Bait 77F ZR-577V #005 N Large Mouse B

The Shimano Bantam Bt Bait 77F is a dead-slow micro swimbait designed for highly selective bass. Unlike conventional lures that require constant retrieve, this three-joint hard bait with a replaceable soft tail generates enticing movement even when paused or drifting. Its compact 77mm profile mimics small baitfish like smelt and young ayu, making it ideal when bass are feeding on tiny forage.

Key features

• Dead-slow design: stays active during pauses and drifts, wiggling seductively with subtle water movement.
• Three-joint body: delivers a wide, high-appeal swimming action while remaining highly responsive to surface ripples.
• Scale Boost hologram: composite pitch pattern creates complex, lifelike reflections like real baitfish scales.
• Symmetrical tail: easy installation with no wrong orientation; remove for storage to prevent material damage.
• Floating type: perfect for surface twitching, precise cover presentations, and drift fishing.
• Compact 77mm, 5g size: matches small prey when bass are finicky and focused on tiny baitfish.
