Targeting Bass with the Nomad Design Swimtrex Flutterfall
The Swimtrex Flutterfall has earned a reputation for triggering strikes from a wide range of species and Aussie Bass are no exception. Its unique ability to swim naturally as it sinks makes it a lethal weapon when worked around structure, drop-offs, and weed edges. One of the most effective techniques is to cast tight to the bank or timber, let the lure free-fall while it “swims” down into deeper water, and then engage a slow, steady retrieve. This approach keeps the bait in the strike zone longer and draws aggressive hits from bass holding deep.
Why the Swimtrex Flutterfall Stands Out
Patented Swimming Action – The Swimtrex is the first lipless vibration crankbait to genuinely swim like a real baitfish on the fall. Vibration & Sound – Emits strong vibration when slow-rolled or straight-retrieved and features a subtle internal rattle that knocks even as the lure sinks. Autotune™ Line Tie – Keeps the lure perfectly balanced and running true with no rolling, no tracking off-centre. Deadly Versatility – Its combined swimming fall, lift vibration, and arrow-straight retrieve make it a lure fish simply can’t ignore.
Pro Tips for Aussie Bass
Target Edges & Drop-Offs – Bass love ambushing prey on the transition from shallow to deep water. Cast parallel to weed edges, rock walls, or submerged timber.
Pause & Let It Work – After your cast, allow the Swimtrex to sink on a semi-slack line. The natural swimming fall often triggers bites before you even start winding.
Lift & Drop – Mix in gentle rod lifts to activate vibration, then pause to let it glide and swim back down perfect for finessing pressured fish.
Early & Late Sessions – Low-light periods amplify the rattle and swimming action, making it easier for bass to find and crush the lure.
