    Default In search of 2.5" swimbait w/ square tail


    Does anyone make a 2.5" shad style swimbait with a square boot tail instead of a round bootail. I like the action of the Big Hammer swimbait but they only offer 3" and larger

    Thanks Troy

    I've been using 3" bait for a couple of months and the livewell gets a lot of visitors.

    Closest I know is 2.5" Z Man Slim SwimZ. Tail is a cross between the squareness of a Big Hammer and the roundness of a typical paddletail. It's deeper than it is wide, though the bottom edge of it is rounded.

    Lure Craft sells a 2.75" one almost identical to the one you pictured. Listed in their aluminum molds section in the Angler AI molds.
