KAMOOKI SMARTFISH
The Kamooki SmartFish® features a smooth, laterally compressed bait fish body, and
assumes a natural head-down, tail-up profile when its unique, precision engineered zinc
keel rests on any structure. When retrieved, the SmartFish® displays a tight
vibrating action with accentuated side to side tail wag motion. When t h e
SmartFish® is vertically jigged, it vibrates as the rod tip is
raised and slowly flutters down when the rod tip is dropped
– all the while tracing forward in a circular pattern. The
astonishing properties of the SmartFish® are all
utilized when fishing bottom structure. Bounce
it along the bottom from one point to the
next, allowing the bait to truly hug the
contour being fished. The single treble
hook design attached to the tail, coupled
with the constant vertical position, make
the SmartFish® remarkably snag-resistant.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Jig it, crank it,
bottom bounce it... what can’t
this bait do? We just can’t resist
its multi-species versatility.
