Bassman MFT Swim Jig Lure 1/2oz

The Bassman MFT Swim Jig 1/2oz combines a premium skirted swim jig with a genuine Mikado MFT paddle tail to create a powerful, fish-catching presentation built for Australia's toughest freshwater predators.

The Bassman MFT Swim Jig 1/2oz is a ready-to-fish skirted swim jig designed specifically for Australian conditions. Combining Bassman's proven swim jig platform with a genuine Mikado MFT paddle tail, this lure delivers a tight, thumping action and lifelike baitfish profile that consistently attracts Murray cod, golden perch, Australian bass and other predatory species.

Built to be fished through heavy cover, the MFT Swim Jig excels around weed beds, standing timber, laydowns, rock bars and dam edges where big fish hunt. The skirt adds bulk, movement and flash, while the paddle tail creates a strong vibration that helps fish locate the lure even in dirty water.

The pre-rigged Mikado MFT tail provides a proven action straight out of the packet, and when it eventually gets damaged by aggressive strikes, it can easily be replaced to keep the lure performing at its best. Whether you're slow rolling through timber for cod, working weed lines for yellowbelly or targeting trophy bass in impoundments, the Bassman MFT Swim Jig is a versatile addition to any tackle box.

Available now at Anglers Warehouse with fast shipping Australia wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace the Mikado MFT tail?

Yes. The lure is pre-rigged with a genuine Mikado MFT paddle tail that can be replaced when worn or damaged, helping maintain the original swimming action.

How should I fish the Bassman MFT Swim Jig?

Cast the lure into likely structure, allow it to sink to the desired depth and slow roll it back. Pauses and small rod lifts help the skirt flare and create additional fish-attracting movement.

Is the Bassman MFT Swim Jig weedless?

It is weed-resistant rather than completely weedless. The wire weed guards help reduce snagging when fishing through timber, grass and heavy cover.

Will the MFT Swim Jig work in dirty water?

Yes. The paddle tail produces strong vibration at slow speeds, while brighter colour patterns help fish locate the lure in stained or dirty water conditions.
