3.8" ASSASSIN SWIMBAIT GOLD RUSH 8PK

The 3.8" Assassin takes everything that makes our smaller version a staple and packs it into a larger, higher-profile bait built to call in bigger fish. Designed with a bulkier ribbed body and a sharp, ultra-responsive tail, this profile moves serious water while maintaining a silky, natural action on both steady retrieves and bottom hops.

Whether you're targeting staging largemouth, slot redfish, or aggressive specs, the 3.8" Assassin offers the ideal combination of presence, durability, and target-triggering movement.

Key Features

• Up-Sized Profile: Enhanced body thickness and ribbing create a larger target profile and maximum displacement.

• Dynamic Tail Action: Tail kick starts immediately upon water entry, producing high-vibration motion even at slow crawl speeds.

• Custom Plastic Formulation: Engineered for extreme tear-resistance around hooks while keeping the tail fully supple.

Rigging Recommendations & Tips

• Weighted Swimbait Hook (3/0 - 4/0)

  • Best for: Shallow flats, grass lines, and heavy cover.

  • Tip: Rig it weedless with a belly-weighted twist-lock hook to keep it tracking straight and running smooth through vegetation without rolling.

• Heavy-Duty Jig Head (1/4 oz - 3/8 oz, 3/0 Hook)

  • Best for: Open water, deeper drop-offs, current seams, and salt marsh drains.

  • Tip: Thread the bait flat and straight up to the keeper collar. Pair with a sharp pop-and-fall cadence near the bottom to trigger reaction strikes from predatory fish.

• Underspin / Spinner Jig

  • Best for: Stained water, low-light conditions, or active schooling baitfish.

  • Tip: The added flash of a willow or Colorado blade paired with the 3.8" profile creates an irresistible combination for suspended bass and redfish.

• Chatterbait / Bladed Jig Trailer

  • Best for: Covering vast water and cutting through scattered hydrilla or oyster shell.

  • Tip: Trim the top 1/4 inch off the nose before threading to ensure a flush, seamless fit against the bladed jig
