Deliver an incredibly lifelike baitfish presentation with the Samaki Redic Swimmik 140SS, an award-winning, multi-jointed slow sinking swimbait designed to turn following predators into committed strikes.

The Samaki Redic Swimmik 140SS Lure is a premium 140mm multi-jointed hardbody swimbait developed to replicate the natural movement of a swimming baitfish. Featuring a segmented ABS body and soft tail, the Swimmik produces a smooth, realistic swimming action that responds from the first turn of the reel handle or movement of the rod tip.

Weighing 35g and featuring a slow sinking design, the Redic Swimmik 140SS can be worked higher in the water column or counted down to target fish holding at different depths. Its durable hardbody construction is built to withstand demanding Australian fishing conditions, while three premium Decoy Y-S81 treble hooks, quality split rings and an innovative magnetic hook keeper deliver a refined, ready-to-fish presentation.

Expert Advice

The Samaki Redic Swimmik 140SS is designed to produce its lifelike swimming action with minimal effort. Start with a slow, steady retrieve to allow the segmented body and soft tail to move naturally through the water, closely imitating a cruising baitfish.

When targeting fish holding below the surface, allow the slow sinking Swimmik to descend for a few seconds before beginning your retrieve. Experiment with different countdown periods to locate the depth where predators are feeding. Keep in mind that sink rate and running depth can vary with line choice and water conditions.

For following fish that are reluctant to strike, introduce subtle rod tip movements or brief pauses to change the lure's swimming rhythm. These small changes can imitate a vulnerable baitfish and encourage a predator to commit.

Before casting, check that the magnetic hook keeper is holding the upper treble in position and that the segmented body and soft tail can move freely. Regularly inspect the hooks and split rings after encounters with powerful fish or heavy structure.
