Kingdom Tsunami 170mm Sinking Soft Swimbait Paddle Tail
The Tsunami is a 170mm sinking soft swimbait built around a durable PVC body and a wide paddle tail that kicks hard on any retrieve speed. The sinking design lets you cover the whole water column, from just under the surface down to deeper staging areas where bass hold near cover or bait schools.
Rigged with a belly treble and rear single hook, it swims true with a steady rolling action that mimics a fleeing baitfish. It is a strong choice for open water largemouth and smallmouth, and doubles as an effective bait for pike when bass fishing crosses into mixed water.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait sink to the depth where fish are holding before starting your retrieve.
- Use a steady, moderate retrieve to let the paddle tail work on its own without added rod action.
- Slow the retrieve or add pauses when working the bait along drop-offs, points, or submerged cover.
- Vary retrieve speed until you find the cadence that triggers strikes on a given day, then repeat it through the same zone.
Frequently asked
No, a 170mm swimbait is a proven size for largemouth, especially for targeting larger fish or working open water and deeper structure. It also handles smallmouth and pike without issue.
Use the natural green/white pattern in clear water for a realistic baitfish profile, and switch to the chartreuse pattern in stained or murky water where extra visibility helps fish locate the bait.
A medium-heavy to heavy baitcasting rod paired with 15 to 20 pound fluorocarbon or braided line handles the weight and hook set well on a bait this size.
It performs well whenever bass are actively feeding on baitfish, which is common in spring and fall, and it also works through summer in deeper water where fish are schooled up.
