Utilizing a new combination of plastic, the new Duckett Baits BD Swim outperforms any other hollow-body swimbait on the market today. The extra material in the nose of the bait adds durability for keeping your bait in place. The v-belly design keeps your bait running true and doesn’t flip over even with fast retrieves. Available in seven different fish-catching colors in 4-, 5-, and 6-inch sizes.

“As a professional angler who loves to throw swimbaits, I have designed this bait by mixing the best features from baits I’ve thrown over the years to come up with the best I have ever used.” – Boyd Duckett

How to Rig

Rigging the bait straight and snug to the jig head is critical for making it run “true” and maximizing the “rolling action” that is critical for generating aggressive strikes.
Use a heavy-action rod, like a 7-foot-4 Duckett Fishing rod, to ensure a solid hookset and pair with a 8.3:1 Duckett Paradigm reel which allows for the angler to choose to utilize a slow or rapid retrieve.

How to Fish

Ideal bait for the shad spawn and fishing around grass
Add as a trailer on the back of a vibrating jig
The cadence of your retrieve will be dependent on depth — a faster retrieve in shallow water and a slower retrieve in depths beyond 10 feet.
