About this piece
The Shimano Bantam Bt Bait 99SS is a micro swimbait engineered for high-pressure waters where finicky bass demand a subtle, natural presentation. Its three-piece jointed body generates a wide, rolling action that prevents trailing fish from getting a clear look at the silhouette, while the straight tail design reduces resistance for a lifelike swim. The body flexes during the cast to stabilize flight, delivering impressive distance even into a headwind.
