Imakatsu Stealth Swimmer

STEALTH SWIMMER is the perfect snagless swimbait loading STEALTH HOOK SYSTEM (PAT&PAT/P) developed by IMAKATSU, which does not have any hook outside body.

The retractable hook is fixed inside body by magnet. Once bass bites it, tension is given to line and hollow body is bent, and the big single hook powerfully comes out by the synergy between spring effect by restoring force and movable jig-head with principle of leverage. And then, STEALTH SWIMMER hooks up the fish.

Eyelet locates at the end of front nose, which can transmit hooking-power to hook point directly. The structure enable STEALTH SWIMMER to have awesome snagless ability in bush or weed and make high hooking ability.
And one more remarkable point, there is no hook outside body. (Hook is stored inside body by STEALTH HOOK SYSTEM.) So, fish does not see any hook on STEALTH SWIMMER, which moderate the wariness of a fish.


Both Non-weighted jig ?head and Weighted jig-head are included.
One each of High strength resin jig-head for surface to about 6.7ft range and weighted jig-head made by bismuth with steel ball (3/8oz) for about 6.7ft to 13ft are included in the package (pre-rigged)
These jig-heads are detachable and compatible with each other. You can use both type of jig-heads in the same Stealth Swimmer as you want. When changing jig-head, we recommend to wet inside of Stealth Swimmer for letting jig-head slide well in order not to break the body.

Basic technic is just to retrieve at constant speed with contacting structure such as timbers, rocks, weeds, bottom and etc. Depending on target range, Stealth Swimmer can be used with weightless or heavy weight.

In most cases bass bite it from the head side without cautiousness and hesitation, because hook is kept from sight completely and bass does not see and feel the hook. Therefore immediate hook-up would be effective. And there is possibility that bass swallow it at one gulp because of no hook point outside body.

It is easy to make dart and jerk actions due to no hook outside body. In some cases, jerking technic would be effective.

Heavy weight rigged will work well for dense cover or deep rock area like you do with rubber jig or Texas-rigged.
