I was in Tackle Warehouse last week checking stuff out and was browing the Slammer selection and saw these super small skinny Slammers. I didn't know Mike had made them like this. They're 7" and about the thickness of an F-18 rapala. They'll probably work great for bass but what I really thought when I saw them was, here is a lure for brown trout. Something to check out if you fish browns or lake trout. If you want to get one, it would probably be best to call and ask for a skinny/small one specifically. I think all the ones they have right now are skinny but the baits move through all the time. 1-800-300-4916 is the # and shipping is free. How's that for a plug :) Pun pun.

So I guess we can assume you bought one since you've taken pics! I wonder if Bass World West is going to carry them? CJ?

Rob-are all of these M.S. slammers hard baits? Is this the same lure you caught that huge fish on last spring when you posted the great photos of the live release of the fish?

The Slammers are all wood baits. I think the fish you are referring to was on a Big Hammer Swimbait. I haven't caught any over 10 this year on the Slammer (so far :) )

I need some serious help. I bought 2 baby slammers and just got them in. I went out and tested them today and they don't swim whatsoever. I couldn't get it to kick at all. I might as well have thrown a stick in the water and reeled it in. What is wrong with the bait? Is this how it usually swims? Or what is wrong with it for it to be doing this? I am really dissapointed. I heard really good things about slammers and was expecting them to swim very well. I am holding out hope that there is something wrong with this particular bait or something...thanks for taking the time to help me out...

See if that can help you a bit.

Thanks, but do you think something as simple as tuning it would make it actually swim? I know it would swim straight, but where im at now, I haven't even seen the bait swim yet. I would love to see it swim crooked, because then all I would have to do is tune it. Right now, it just glides through the water. Any suggestions? Maybe it has to be tuned perfect to run at all...

thanks for taking the time....

hmm, my slammer I got but it was a 9inch big one, not the one you have, it swam great right out of the box

Shane

well.....sounds like I need to send these baby's back...

Did you try different retrieve speeds? I could be totally wrong, but it's possible that those skinny Slammers might be better suited for a faster retrive under the surface. I'll have to talk to Mike about that. If you want, I can talk to him and let you know or you could get his number from his site and talk to him personally. Let me know.

Mine work fine, super slow on the surface, to fast and getting them down 2 feet, they swim well. I threw mine on 15lb Big Game. cv
