Built for Aussie freshwater predators, the Bassman MFT Swim Jig 1/2oz pairs a proven Bassman skirted swim jig head with a genuine Mikado MFT paddle tail, giving it a tight, thumping swim and a full, baitfish-style profile cod can’t ignore. It’s made to be cast into the nasty stuff — weed, sticks, standing timber and dam edges — and slow-rolled back with the skirt breathing and the Mikado tail doing all the calling.
Because it’s pre-rigged with the Mikado MFT tail, you get a repeatable action straight out of the packet, and you can swap tails when they get chewed. Run it along weed lines for yellowbelly, bump it through timber for Murray cod, or even swim it for big impoundment bass — it’s a super versatile, ready-to-fish presentation.
