Bassman MFT Swim Jig Lure 1/2oz

Built for Aussie freshwater predators, the Bassman MFT Swim Jig 1/2oz pairs a proven Bassman skirted swim jig head with a genuine Mikado MFT paddle tail, giving it a tight, thumping swim and a full, baitfish-style profile cod can’t ignore. It’s made to be cast into the nasty stuff — weed, sticks, standing timber and dam edges — and slow-rolled back with the skirt breathing and the Mikado tail doing all the calling.
Because it’s pre-rigged with the Mikado MFT tail, you get a repeatable action straight out of the packet, and you can swap tails when they get chewed. Run it along weed lines for yellowbelly, bump it through timber for Murray cod, or even swim it for big impoundment bass — it’s a super versatile, ready-to-fish presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the tail?
Yes. It’s rigged with a genuine Mikado MFT tail, so when it gets chewed you can replace it with another Mikado MFT to keep the action identical.
How should I retrieve it?
Cast, let it sink to the level of the fish, then slow-roll. Add pauses or small lifts to make the skirt breathe.
Is it fully weedless?
It’s weed-resistant, not 100% weedless — the guards help it through cover, but check the hooks after punching heavy timber.
Will it work in dirty water?
Yes — choose the brighter/hi-vis colours for stained dams or after rain. The Mikado tail still kicks at slow speed so fish can find it.
