Hunthouse Spinning Tail Swimbait, Topwater Bass Lure
Hunthouse Spinning Tail Swimbait, Topwater Bass Lure
This hard-bodied swimbait pairs a baitfish profile with a rotating tail fin that kicks and flashes on every twitch or steady retrieve. The soft, translucent tail spins independently of the body, adding extra vibration and a subtle popping action on the surface or just under it.
Built for largemouth and smallmouth around grass edges, docks, and shallow flats, it excels when bass are keyed on baitfish near the surface. Work it with sharp twitches for a walk-the-dog style bite, or slow-roll it for a subsurface swim that keeps the tail spinning continuously.

How to fish it
- Cast tight to grass lines, docks, or laydowns where bass ambush baitfish near the surface.
- Twitch the rod tip in short pulses to make the tail spin and the body dart side to side.
- Pause between twitches to let the bait sit and let the spinning tail settle before the next strike.
- Switch to a slow, steady retrieve on calmer days to keep the tail rotating continuously just under the surface.
