Hunthouse 180mm Jointed Sinking Pencil Swimbait
Hunthouse 180mm Jointed Sinking Pencil Swimbait
This 180mm three-section pencil swimbait is built for anglers who want a big profile and a lifelike swimming action. The jointed body flexes through the water on the retrieve, giving off a tight wobble and flash that mimics a wounded baitfish. Its slow sinking design lets you work it at different depths, from just under the surface to a controlled subsurface glide.
The slim needle nose and segmented construction make this bait a strong choice for targeting big largemouth bass around open water, points, and baitfish schools. It also handles well for smallmouth working suspended baitfish in clear lakes. Cast it long distances and work it with slow rolls or twitch-pause retrieves to trigger reaction strikes from larger fish.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area to allow the bait to settle into the strike zone before it reaches the fish.
- Use a slow, steady retrieve to let the jointed body swim naturally through open water.
- Add occasional twitches or pauses to trigger reaction strikes from following bass.
- Vary retrieve speed to control running depth, slower for shallower presentation, faster for a deeper glide.
Frequently asked
Yes, its large profile and swimming action make it effective for targeting larger largemouth bass, especially around baitfish schools.
Natural, translucent patterns work best in clear water, while brighter or higher contrast colors help visibility in stained or murky water.
A medium-heavy to heavy casting rod with braided main line and a fluorocarbon leader gives good castability and control for a bait this size.
It performs well when bass are actively feeding on baitfish, typically spring through fall in open water areas.
