About this piece
The Deps Bull Shooter 160SS is a bluegill-profile jointed swimbait engineered to target record-class bass. Its tall body creates massive water displacement on a straight retrieve, while the unique drifting action during pauses triggers vicious strikes from wary giants. The floating model excels at fishing over weed tops, using a contact-and-rise technique to draw bass out of cover without snagging.
Key features
- PVC pectoral fins that hug the body while swimming and flare out on the pause for a hovering effect
- PVC tail fin for a hyper-realistic bluegill silhouette that deceives selective bass
- Belly fin on the front hook hanger prevents fouling and enhances sharp twitch and jerk actions
- Super-smooth tin-coated hooks provide excellent penetration and camouflage against the baitfish belly
- Front body houses a 9mm stainless steel rattle that emits sound even when drifting with wave action
- Floating model allows effective weed-top contact and rise tactics in hard-to-reach shallow cover
Best for
- Targeting record-class largemouth bass in pressured waters
- Fishing over submerged weed beds and shallow cover
- Stop-and-go and jerkbait-style retrieves that exploit the lure's unique drifting pause
