Big Hammer™ Hand-Poured Swimbaits are easily recognized by the original Big Hammer Square Tail™ design.  The unique Square Tail™ combined with hydrodynamic body designs create an unparalleled vibrant swimming action - even at very slow retrieve speeds. Using the finest quality plastic available creates a bait that is not only beautifully crisp and clear but also has the perfect balance between durability and action. Freshwater or saltwater, anytime of year - tie one on and see for yourself how "Nothing kicks like the tail of a Big Hammer". Click here for more information about swimbait action.
