INNOTAK Multi-Jointed Swimbait – 1 Pack, 5.63" Slow Sinking Bluegill Pattern Fishing Lure for Largemouth Bass, Pike & Musky, Freshwater & Saltwater, 2 Mustad Treble Hooks

Head Hunter is a 5.63-inch multi-jointed swimbait in a bluegill / sunfish pattern – emerald green back, chartreuse-yellow flanks, a dark ear spot behind the gill and a dark tail. Bluegill is the number-one forage for largemouth bass in most US ponds and lakes, which makes this color a first choice around docks, bedding areas and shoreline cover. The segmented ABS body is joined with heavy-duty flexible fabric and swims with a smooth S-shaped action on a slow retrieve, gliding on the pause like a wounded sunfish. Sold as a single lure.

Key features

• Bluegill color for bass around cover – matches the sunfish that bass guard their beds from and chase along docks, laydowns and grass lines; strong in spring and summer.
• Realistic S-shaped swimming action – multi-segment body with flexible fabric joints moves like a live baitfish on a straight retrieve, twitch or stop-and-go.
• New open-mouth head design – pushes water for improved underwater movement and stronger vibration that predators track from a distance.
• Long-cast weight system – built-in steel gravity balls add casting distance and a subtle rattle; the lure weighs 1.02 oz (29 g).
• 2 ultra-sharp Mustad treble hooks on strong split rings for solid hooksets.
• 3D holographic eyes and detailed scale pattern on a durable ABS body – made for freshwater and saltwater.

Target species

Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, musky, walleye, striped bass, redfish, snook and other predators that feed on bluegill, sunfish and shad.

How to fish it

• Slow steady retrieve past docks, laydowns and grass edges – the most natural presentation.
• Twitch and pause near bedding areas – the lure turns and glides on the pause, triggering guarding bass.
• Burn and kill – a few fast turns, then stop; ideal for reaction strikes from pike and musky.
• Use a steel leader for toothy species to protect your line.

Frequently asked questions

Is Head Hunter floating or sinking?
Slow sinking. Count it down to reach suspended fish or start the retrieve right away to fish the upper water column.

When should I choose the bluegill color?
Wherever bluegill and sunfish are the main forage – ponds, reservoirs and lakes with docks and shoreline cover – and especially during the spring spawn and summer, when bass actively hunt sunfish.

Does it come with a leader or box?
No – this is the single lure. The INNOTAK 3-pack includes three colors, three steel leaders and a tackle box. Other single colors: Alligator Harry, Bass Hunter (perch), Bloody Harry (brown trout), Predator Catcher (shad) and Tricky Snake (rainbow trout).

What rod and line should I use?
A medium to medium-heavy spinning or casting rod with 12–20 lb line (or 20–30 lb braid) handles a 1 oz swimbait comfortably.
