Phat Pak Baits
3.8" Phat Swimmer
3.8" Phat Swimmer
Our 3.8" ribbed Phat Swimmer is known as the "Keitech Killer" due to being our most popular seller and our buyers claiming higher catch rates than using the popular Keitech swimbaits.
It's the perfect mid range size that appeals to a bigger fish and small enough to still catch numbers. It's ribbed body puts off maximum water displacement triggering the basses lateral lines and the the paddle tail gives it an awesome side-to-side wobble action, bringing the bait to life.
We use a medium grade plastisol providing maximum action but enough durability to allow multiple fish catches per bait.
Rigging
Rigging
The ideal rigging option for maximum casting distance and maximum action is on a ball head jig or swimbait jighead. Use a 7' medium action spinning rod, w/braid to floro leader, a 1/4 oz or heavier jig head. Cast it out, let the bait fall on semi slack line until it hits the bottom, than give the rod a quick twitch upwards, and begin a slow steady retrieve. Add in occasional rod twitches during the retrieve.
Additional Rigging Options:
Drop Swimming/Jigging
Wobble Head
Flipping/Pitching
Tokyo Rig
Chatterbait Trailer
Swim Jig Trailer
Ball Head Jig Trailer
A-Rig Trailer
Underspin Trailer
Swimbait Jig Head
Spinnerbait Trailer

Retrieve
Retrieve
When used on a Wrecking Ball Head or our Ledge Knocker, cast out the bait, let it fall on semi-slack line until it hits the bottom, than begin a slow retrieve, making sure to contact rock and bottom structure. During the retrieve impart occasional rod twitches to entice followers to commit as this makes the bait look like it's trying to flee.
Rod/Reel/Line
Rod/Reel/Line
Use a 7' medium action spinning rod paired up on a 2500 series spinning reel, or a 7' medium heavy fast tip bait casting rod with a 7:1:1 gear ratio bait casting reel. For the line use 12lb braid to a 6 or 8 pound fluorocarbon leader.

Get’em white, dye them as you like. Phatpak makes it possible to customize anything you want.
By far the best plastics at the best price-hands down!
Best bats out there, The scent is great and they are built to last. Not like other brands where you get 1 fish off each bait and pay $8.99 a bag.
Worked on a three pounder the first time I used it. Wish you had more merch to offer.
Awesome to hear. Yeah, we agree more Merch is needed. Our hands are so busy working on new soft plastic products keeping you guys on the fish.
I had earlier in the year bought some 2.8 Phat Swimmers and had good success with them. I decided to add the 3.8 Phat Swimmers to the arsenal. I fish them mainly on underspin jigs. The yellow perch and emerald shiner are great colors to match the baitfish in the area. You can't go wrong with these baits.
Awesome to hear. We rival Keitech swimbaits and our ''Match the Hatch'' colors fool all the fish. tight lines!!
