Shimano BT Bait 99SS 1/4oz 3-8/9-Inch

The slow-sinking Shimano BT Bait 99SS combines jointed finesse action, SCALE BOOST realism, and an elastomer tail to target suspended fish with spin or BFS gear. Its controlled sink keeps the lure in the strike zone longer for precise subsurface presentations. Shimano designed SCALE BOOST lure technology with its exclusive composite-pitch holograms that mimic realistic patterns of baitfish scales. Compared to lures with single-pitch holograms, SCALE BOOST technology capitalizes on composite-pitch holograms to increase the amount and complexity of light reflected through the water. The result: A lineup of lures featuring the realistic baitfish patterns of SCALE BOOST lure technology that will draw aggressive bites from trophy fish.

Proven in Japanese finesse fisheries, the Shimano BT Bait 99SS is a slow-sinking, multi-jointed swimbait engineered for natural subsurface presentations and prolonged strike-zone exposure. Its three-section hard body and flexible elastomer tail produce smooth, lifelike swimming action at any retrieve speed, while Shimano’s SCALE BOOST technology creates realistic scale flash and visual depth. The slow-sink design allows anglers to count down to target depth and maintain a natural horizontal posture through the retrieve or pause. Optimized for spinning and bait finesse systems, the BT Bait 99SS excels when matching small baitfish to entice pressured or suspended predators.
