The GOLIATH SWIMGOBY is an all new bait style that is built on our highly successful Goliath Goby platform - but with a significant change in tail design. For those days when fish feel the need to chase baits horizontally, we've added a high-action, pulsing tail ideal at both slow or high retrieve rates. The GOLIATH SWIMGOBY has the body shape of a goby which represents one of the most popular food sources for numerous fish species in and around the Great Lakes Region. This bait boasts a true goby-head design complete with bulging eyes, checkplates as well as retracted pectorial fins and two realistic dorsal fins. In addition, we've added an industry-first feature we call XBW (Xtra Body Waggle). XBW is a subtle side-to-side movement or waggle,that gives the GOLIATH SWIMGOBY additional body action that fish are drawn to.

GOLIATH SWIMGOBY is ideally suited for swimbait heads, ned and even drop shot rigging techniques when targetting smallmouth bass, largemout bass, walleye, lake trout, lake whitefish, brown trout, and many more freshwater and saltwater species.
