Little Swimmer

Lifelike Paddle Tail Action in a Compact Swimbait

The Butchers Baits Little Swimmer is a 2.5-inch soft plastic paddle tail swimbait designed to mimic the natural swimming motion of small baitfish. Perfect for bass, crappie, and panfish, this bait delivers realistic movement with its responsive paddle tail—whether rigged solo or used as a trailer.

Hand-crafted in the USA in small batches, the Little Swimmer excels across a wide range of techniques, including A-rigs, jig heads, spinnerbaits, Texas rigs, and Carolina rigs. Its compact size is ideal for finesse presentations, pressured waters, or when fish are feeding on smaller forage.

• 2.5” Paddle Tail Profile – Compact baitfish design triggers strikes from predators of all sizes

• Versatile Rigging – Runs perfectly on A-rigs, jig heads, spinnerbaits, or Texas/Carolina rigs

• Hand-Poured Soft Plastic – Durable enough to last multiple fish while maintaining lifelike action

• Made in the USA – Family-crafted quality with attention to detail in every bait

• Natural Color Selection – Choose from proven colorways to match forage or stand out in stained water
