5½ inch Big Hammer™ Hand-Poured Swimbaits

The 5½ inch Big Hammer™ swimbait is the newest size in the Big Hammer™ line-up. Designed by anglers on a long range trip by cutting and melting baits together and then refined using theories of aerodynamics to achieve the best "swimming" action possible with a soft plastic lure. The action of the 5½ inch Big Hammer™ swimbait combines a very erratic tail action with an almost unbelievably realistic body wiggle. An excellent bait for calico bass fishing the 5½ inch Big Hammer™ swimbait has already broken the previous known Big Hammer™ calico bass record with a 12 lb. giant caught near Catalina Island. The long slender slender profile of the 5½ inch swimbait makes it the perfect choice for boiler rock calico bass fishing. On the East Coast the 5½ inch Big Hammer™ swimbait is quickly proving itself as a great striped bass lure. In freshwater it is finding it's way into the tackle boxes of walleye, pike and musky anglers both in the U.S. and Europe.
