Description

The Bottom Knock Swimmer 41 is the largest model in Smith's Bottom Knock Swimmer range, weighing 6.5g and measuring 41mm. It combines a fast sink rate with inertial swing action, and its extra size makes it easy to cast on light-power tackle over longer distances.

On the retrieve, the tail rides high off the bottom while the lure keeps its footing, producing a bottom-knocking swing that imitates a small fish feeding along the riverbed. A straight retrieve gives a steady side-to-side swimming action, while twitches on slack line trigger sharp, erratic side and vertical swing movements.

Information

The swimming action

On a straight retrieve the Bottom Knock Swimmer 41 rides tail-high while the body keeps steady footing, ticking the bottom in a knocking rhythm that mimics a small baitfish feeding along the riverbed. Twitches on slack line break that rhythm into sharp, erratic side and vertical kicks.

When to throw it

Best fished through the lower third of the water column on rivers and larger streams where trout hold tight to gravel or rock bottom. Its extra weight for the size makes it easy to cast well on light tackle when distance is needed.

How to work it

Work it with a slow, steady wind so the tail keeps contact with the bottom, then feed in slack-line twitches when fish are following but not committing, since the erratic kick often triggers the take.

The setup it likes

Suits a light to light-medium stream rod, a 2000-size reel, 4-6 lb main line and a fluorocarbon leader of similar or slightly lighter breaking strain.
