Make sure you get your 8/0 Amistad Tackle Big Daddy swimbait hooks with our original big screwlock to help extend the life of these baits!

The All American Trash Fish is a hand sculpted swimbait using the body style of a Hitch as the model.  It is one of the most detailed and unique soft swimbaits on the market today and has been responsible for several big tournament wins on Clear Lake in California. 

The Trash Fish is made with two different densities of plastic. This gives the bait a unique action and also makes it tougher and more durable than most swimbaits. The hook pocket in the top of the bait holds the hook at the bend, not the point, leaving the hook-point loose and exposed in the pocket for superior hook-sets. The Trash Fish has many actions, and can be fished super slow on the bottom or waked across the surface equally as well. If jerked correctly the bait will turn to the side or can be made to turn all the way around. If given line after jerking, the bait will slowly swim off in the direction it turned. We have been flipping the bait in heavy cover like a jig. When flipped the bait swims horizontally through the cover, and can be redirected with a small twitch of the rod allowing the bait to swim around in the tree or other cover.

The action can be easily tuned to swim left or right by simply hooking the point lightly in one side of the hook pocket. This causes the bait to swim the opposite direction, or it will dart off in that direction when jerked. This is perfect for fishing docks, or any cover you wish to actually have the bait swim into. Removing the top portion of the tail also causes the tail to thump a bit more with a little wider action. If you remove the front fins the bait will sink more quickly allowing the tail to kick more when falling.

We have found the 6 inch Trash Fish to work best on 6/0 weighted Gamakatsu EWG Monster hook (some like a 7/0). When using a swimbait hook with a screw eye, like the Amistad Tackle Big Daddy swimbait hook, you will want to step up to an 8/0 hook.

Available in 4" or 6", both 2 per pack.
