Shimano Bantam Rattlin Sur-Vibe

The Bantam Rattlin Sur-Vibe is a lipless sinking crankbait that has a square design body giving a unique fast vibrating swimming action which starts immediately the retrieve is started. The addition of metal balls inside the body emits a loud rattle when retrieved at speed.

The Bantam Rattlin Sur-Vibe is a great lure for fishing towards the bottom and generates a huge amount of sensory attraction through its eye-catching action and loud rattle. With excellent versatility you can fish this compact lure in several ways. Using a lift and fall technique generates a special ‘Shimmy falling action’, which is hugely appealing to lethargic fish as it falls into their line of sight. Alternatively you can use a slow constant speed for a gentle swaying action, or a fast retrieve for more vibration and a louder rattle which will get fish to come up from the bottom and attack the lure from below. When fishing down onto the bottom, the head down tail up posture reduces potential snagging.

The Rattlin Sur-Vibe packs a big punch for a small lure and is a great choice when fish are lethargic, especially in cold or heavily coloured water.
