Chasebaits Swim Dusty

Swimbait Innovation from Australia

The Swim Dusty is a swimbait from Australian lure maker Chasebaits. This hard lure combines an innovative design with serious pulling power for pike. At 16.5 cm long and 58 g, it is a three-section swimbait - but with a twist: the first body segment features a large propeller set into a central recess. The result is a lure that delivers the enticing, serpentine action of a swimbait while simultaneously generating the sharp vibrations and flash of a prop bait. Even at the slowest retrieve speeds the propeller starts spinning, putting out that irresistible triggering action that pike find hard to ignore.

Natural Profile and Clever Details

The Chasebaits Swim Dusty is a deep-bodied swimbait built to mimic the profile of a perch - right down to the species-typical fins that make it such a convincing imitation of a natural pike food source. This gives it a realistic, natural shape and appearance. The colour schemes follow that same logic: predominantly natural in tone, yet striking enough to draw a pike's attention. Two features of the fin arrangement stand out: the replaceable tail fin and the rigid pectoral fins.

Replaceable Tail Fin for Added Versatility

The tail fin on the Chasebaits Swim Dusty is fully replaceable, and a second fin is included in the box. This spare isn't simply a duplicate - it comes in a UV-active colour, giving you the option to make the lure more visible in coloured water or during low-light conditions at dawn and dusk. Because different colour variants of the Swim Dusty each come with a differently coloured UV fin, running several variants opens up a wide range of colour combinations.

Rigid Pectoral Fins Instead of a Dive Lip

Unlike the other fins, the pectoral fins of the Chasebaits Swim Dusty are fixed and immovable. Set at a slight angle above the first treble hook, they act like a dive lip, helping the lure track down to its running depth. The effect is subtle rather than aggressive, but it is consistent - enough to ensure the lure reaches its depth reliably and maintains a particularly stable swimming action throughout the retrieve.

3 Attachment Points at the Head for Your Leader or Added Weight

The Chasebaits Swim Dusty is fitted with 3 eyelets at the head. The uppermost eyelet, positioned above the eyes, is used for attaching your leader when you want the lure to run deeper. The middle eyelet, set at the very tip of the nose, is the one to use when you want a shallower running depth. The lower eyelet, mounted at the chin, is for clip-on weights that bring the lure down into deeper water. This setup lets you target different water columns and adapt the lure to each spot. The Chasebaits Swim Dusty is not just an innovative swimbait with variable presentation - it also allows you to fish it flexibly, with enough options to get a reaction from pike regardless of their mood on the day.
