Bill Lewis Depth Strike Twitchbait 3/8 oz Phantom Purple – Sinking Twitchbait for Bass

Meet the Bill Lewis Depth Strike Twitchbait

The Depth Strike is a lipless sinking twitchbait engineered for forward facing sonar. In Phantom Purple, its compact profile sinks quickly on a slack line and delivers a distinctive back and forth shimmy that bass often notice with interest. This lure is built to be versatile, available in three sizes and fourteen color options to suit different water colors, depths, and forage patterns. The design pairs premium Mustad hooks with a distressed bait fish sound to create a convincing presence as it descends through the water column.

Anglers appreciate how the lure balances depth control with action. The absence of a lip reduces snag resistance while still creating an enticing wobble. The Phantom Purple finish provides high visibility in low light or stained water, helping the bait register on screen and in real life. With options to match the water color and the feed corridor of the bass, the Depth Strike is a flexible choice for many lake and river setups.

With three sizes and a bold Phantom Purple finish, the Depth Strike offers versatile options for many bass fishing scenarios. It casts well, sinks promptly, and rewards attentive line handling with a lively underwater motion.
