Illex Magic Swing Tail 8.5

Illex Magic Swing Tail 8.5 – Slim Floating Softbait for Pike, Zander and Sea Bass

The Illex Magic Swing Tail 8.5 is a slim softbait with a unique and rather surprising design. Its well-balanced softness and the Flex Connection in the middle of the body give it an erratic swimming action, combining the flashes of its flat flanks with the whip-like strokes of a very mobile tail. Predators that ignore the steady thump of a shad often cannot resist this dynamic and unpredictable movement.

Because it has no paddle, the Magic Swing Tail offers minimal water resistance and still gives off subtle vibrations, even at very low speed. Its hydrodynamic shape makes vertical presentation easy, both with live sonar and in snag-heavy spots. Fish it with strong jerks or twitches on a pointed jighead or a 14 to 70 g shad head, or rig it weightless for fishing around weed and cover.
