Description

The Smith Bottom Knock Swimmer II is a trout swimbait developed by Hiroyuki Motoyama, built around a nose-weighted tungsten sinker that keeps the lure standing tail-up as it settles on the bottom. It measures approximately 30 mm and weighs 3.2 g, running on a single D-Contact Hook #12.

Designed for trout that have stopped responding to a standard horizontal retrieve, it holds a stable tail-up posture between bottom taps, vibrates on a straight retrieve, and kicks into an exaggerated side-to-side swing on the twitch, a bottom-bouncing action built to draw strikes from otherwise neutral fish.

Information

The swimming action

A nose-weighted tungsten sinker holds the Bottom Knock Swimmer II tail-up as it settles, vibrating through a straight retrieve and kicking into an exaggerated side-to-side swing when twitched, a deliberately different rhythm to a standard horizontal swimbait.

When to throw it

Designed for trout that have stopped responding to a normal horizontal retrieve, so it earns its place once fish look pressured or have gone quiet on more conventional minnows.

How to work it

Let it settle on the bottom between moves, hold a stable tail-up pose, then work it with bottom taps and firm twitches rather than a continuous wind.

The setup it likes

Fish it on a light stream rod, a 2000-size reel, 3-5 lb main line and a fluorocarbon leader around the same strength.
