The Sashimmy Swimmer is the result of the hands-on expertise of Bryan New, a well-respected American professional fisherman on the competition circuit. Every detail of this 10.5cm swimbait has been carefully studied to maximize your chances of catching large perches, black bass, and pikes, whether you fish in a pond, lake, or river. A lure designed by a fisherman, for fishermen.
What makes the Sashimmy Swimmer unique is its internal architecture: three joints spread over four rigid plastic sections generate a natural, strikingly realistic "S" undulation. This flag-like swim replicates the movements of a small fleeing or weakened prey fish perfectly. Pikes and black bass, programmed to react to this type of stimulus, find it very hard to resist this hypnotic animation.
Easy to cast and pleasing to animate, the Sashimmy Swimmer adapts to all fishing contexts. Whether you are in a float tube, a boat, or from the bank, this swimbait delivers consistent performance. It excels particularly in shallow areas, where predators stake out along patches of weeds, ledges, or submerged structures.
Its real strength lies in its versatility at all retrieval speeds:
- In fast retrieval, the lure comes to the surface triggering violent and spectacular attacks, perfect for triggering instinctive predatory reflexes.
- In slow retrieval, it gradually dives into depths to pursue less active fish positioned lower, with a sink rate of approximately 1 foot per second - a value that varies depending on the temperature and density of the water.
To further customize your fishing, the Sashimmy Swimmer accepts the addition of lead sinker in the form of adhesive weight stickers (not provided), allowing you to adjust the swimming depth according to your needs. A simple and effective solution to explore the entire water column.
Don't hesitate to incorporate twitch-like animations into your retrieval. By imitating a weakened or disoriented fish, you provoke an opportunistic reaction from hesitant predators that follow the lure without deciding to attack. This animation can make all the difference on difficult days.
The Sashimmy Swimmer comes standard with triple Gamakatsu hooks No. 4 (ref. 47408) with round bend and black nickel finish. Recognized worldwide for their quality, these hooks ensure immediate penetration and impeccable retention, even during intense battles with big pikes or combative black bass. No compromise on the quality of hooking.
