Swimbait with Feather Tail

The Jackall Sleek Mikey 160 is a medium-sized, three-section swimbait that, at 16 cm long and 48 g, is ideally matched to a baitcaster but fishes just as well on a medium-heavy spinning rod. Its tight S-action is one of its defining qualities - the feather tail works even at the slowest retrieve speeds and keeps moving during pauses. At higher retrieve speeds, that same feather tail reduces the flutter frequency of the rear segment, creating a subtly different action compared to other swimbaits that can be just the trigger needed to draw a bite from a wary, experienced predator.

Slow, Fast, or Stop & Go

The Jackall Sleek Mikey 160 really comes into its own on a steady linear retrieve and a Stop & Go presentation. Fished at a constant pace, it produces its seductive S-action and the lip generates just enough resistance for you to feel the action clearly through the rod. That sensitivity lets you immediately detect weed or debris on the hooks disrupting the running behaviour, and also those subtle takes from behind that don't register as a sharp knock but rather as an interruption in the vibration. You can fish it very slowly or push the pace - it handles both. On a Stop & Go retrieve, it rises gradually during pauses and the feather tail continues to show its understated but enticing movement. The Jackall Sleek Mikey 160 works equally well along and over weed beds and other structure, parallel to the bank, or out in open water. Its natural swimming action makes it a real draw for pike and largemouth bass.
