Deps New Slide Swimmer 115 Slow Sinking Jointed Lure – 9070

Overview

The Deps New Slide Swimmer 115 is a compact, 4.5-inch (115 mm) big-bait style lure crafted to attract selective bass with a lifelike presence. Its unique structure surrounds a hollow ABS core with a soft shell, delivering subtle waves and crisp, responsive action that many anglers associate with a natural baitfish profile.
