Swimbait BIWAA Swimpike 180

Swimbait BIWAA Swimpike 180, a next-generation swimbait for large pike

The swimbait BIWAA Swimpike 180 was developed to offer a different approach to fishing for large predators. Inspired by the natural behavior of prey and by the frequent cannibalism among pike, this jointed lure relies on enhanced realism and animations capable of triggering both reflex strikes and deliberate bites.

Designed for margin fishing and prospecting over weed beds, it allows efficient coverage of strategic areas often frequented by ambush predators. Its specific balance and segmented design give it a very lively swim, whether on retrieve, on the drop or during pauses.

An ultra-attractive S-action swim

The Swimpike 180 stands out for its particularly pronounced S-shaped undulating swim, close to that of a weakened or disoriented prey. This action generates a strong visual and vibratory attraction, capable of triggering both active fish and more wary specimens.

On the drop, the lure immediately comes to life and produces a very effective natural movement. This phase is often enough to trigger a strike, particularly when pike are following without committing to a more conventional retrieve.

A design conceived for difficult fish

BIWAA developed a specific balance combining a sinking head with a suspending body. This architecture allows the lure to adopt a very particular posture when resting on the bottom, with the body rising up and continuing to move with the water currents.

This presentation is ideal for exploiting the dead sticking technique, particularly effective on less active, pressured or educated fish. The swimbait BIWAA Swimpike 180 then becomes a go-to technical solution for provoking bites where other lures go unnoticed.

Enhanced realism to maximize strikes

With its highly realistic 3D eyes, 11-segment jointed body and refined finishes, the Swimpike 180 faithfully reproduces the appearance and movements of a vulnerable prey. The segments knock against each other during swimming and generate additional sound stimuli, useful for attracting predators from a distance.

This combination of visual signal, natural movement and sound signature makes it a lure built for hunting large pike, but also suited to musky fishing.

A lure designed for committed fishing

The original rig with two reinforced treble hooks confirms the big bait orientation of this model. The Swimpike 180 was designed to withstand fights with powerful predators and offer excellent hook-set holding.

It is a go-to lure for anglers looking for an original, realistic and effective presentation on shallow spots, weed edges and all areas where large predators hunt in ambush.
