The Bantam Swagy TW is a special spinnerbait that combines a willow blade and a Colorado blade in a cleverly thought-out design making it perfect for slower retrieves. The arms are made of different wire thickness to enhance the action and the head is a combination of two different metals to create better balance and stability.
The lower arm of the Bantam Swagy TW is made from a 0.95mm wire, designed to stabilize the centre of gravity for a solid swimming position and manoeuvrability, whilst the top arm, which holds the blades, is 30% thinner (0.60mm) and more flexible to maximise the transition of movement and vibration down to the skirt. This design is further enhanced by the head construction, which is made from a combination of lightweight tin at the top and heavier tungsten at the bottom. This improves retrieve stability and returns the Bantam Swagy TW to the correct position quickly after bumping into snags and obstructions.
