About this piece
The Smith Bottom Knock Swimmer Light is a lightweight trout lure designed to trigger strikes even from neutral or pressured fish. Based on the Bottom Knock Swimmer II, it features a slow sinking rate while maintaining a wide swing action, making it effective in low water or high temperature conditions.

- Slow sinking model derived from the Bottom Knock Swimmer II
- Internal weight concentrated at the head for tail-up bottom contact
- Maintains high buoyancy at rest, keeping tail upright on the bottom
- Swims horizontally on a steady retrieve, with erratic action on twitches
Best for
- Trout fishing in clear, low-water conditions
- Slow presentations in still or slow-flowing water
- Bottom-oriented fishing when fish are feeding on the substrate
