Deps New Silent Killer 175 Floating Jointed Lure 03

Floating | Jointed Swimbait

This is a jointed swimbait made to imitate a larger baitfish with body movement rather than just vibration.

The segmented body is the important part: it gives the lure a more natural swimming line and lets it show a bigger profile without looking like a stiff plug.

Use a steady retrieve when you want it to track like a cruising baitfish.

Add pauses, short twitches, or slow sweeps when fish are following but not eating.

A jointed lure often gets bit when it changes speed because the body folds and recovers like a baitfish losing balance.

Because it floats, it is useful over shallower cover, weed tops, laydowns, and rock edges where a sinking swimbait would bury too quickly.

The pause lets it rise or hang high, giving following fish time to commit.

The finish should be chosen by matching it to the water rather than assuming one colour works everywhere.

Use subtle natural colours in clear water, brighter or higher-contrast colours in dirty water, and darker silhouettes when fish are tracking shape more than detail.

Its limitation is that it is not a small-bait finesse lure.

It works best when predators are willing to eat a larger profile or when you need drawing power.

If fish are locked onto tiny bait, scale down instead of forcing the big bait.

TARGET SPECIES: largemouth bass, peacock bass, barramundi, sea bass, flathead, snapper, trevally, and other predators feeding on baitfish around structure.
