Description

The Bottom Knock Swimmer Area is an area-lake tuned version of Smith's Bottom Knock Swimmer, with the internal weight lightened by roughly 1g to slow both the sink rate and the side-to-side swing speed for stillwater trout. It measures around 30mm and weighs 2.2g.

A straight retrieve gives a horizontal swimming action with the tail sweeping side to side, while twitching on slack line switches it into a sharp, unpredictable swing. It comes fitted with a Van Hook SP-31BL #8 on a double split ring.

Information

The swimming action

Lightened by around a gram against the standard Bottom Knock Swimmer, the Area version swims with a steady horizontal sweep of the tail on a straight retrieve, and switches into a sharp, unpredictable side-to-side swing the moment the line goes slack.

When to throw it

Built for stocked area lakes and ponds, where a slower sink rate and softer swing suit pressured stillwater trout that have already seen faster, heavier lures.

How to work it

A slow, even wind keeps the horizontal swim going; short twitches on a dropped rod tip switch the action on and off, which is often what draws a follow into a strike.

The setup it likes

Pairs well with a soft-tip area rod, a small 1000-2500 reel, 2-4 lb line or similar light fluorocarbon and a short matching leader.
