Jackall Dead Slowler – Precision Engineered for Dead-Slow Retrieval
The Jackall Dead Slowler is a specialized shad-tail swimbait designed for ultra-slow retrieves, making it the ultimate tool for targeting big bass holding tight to cover. Developed in collaboration with B.A.S.S. Elite angler Kyoya Fujita and Jackall pro staff Mamoru Kagiya, this bait delivers a natural, deliberate action that keeps it in the strike zone longer—exactly where sluggish bass are waiting.
Key Features & Performance
✔ Designed for Ultra-Slow Retrieval
Traditional swimbaits often move too quickly, but the Dead Slowler is built to maintain lifelike movement at a crawl, allowing bass more time to react. This makes it particularly effective in cold water, where bass are less aggressive and unwilling to chase fast-moving prey.
✔ Multi-Ribbed Body for Maximum Water Resistance
The deep, multi-ribbed body grips the water, creating a subtle yet pronounced wobble even at the slowest speeds. These ribs also help trap air and scent, increasing the bait’s effectiveness in pressured conditions.
✔ Leaf-Style Paddle Tail for Controlled Wobbling Action
The oval leaf-type paddle tail is designed with a keel structure that extends to the tip, preventing unnatural twisting and ensuring a smooth, highly responsive wobbling action—even when barely moving.
✔ Soft but Responsive Material for Optimal Action
Formulated with a soft yet moderately firm texture, the Dead Slowler's material is precisely tuned to maintain ideal action at dead-slow speeds. This ensures natural movement and durability, making it a preferred choice for expert anglers targeting finicky bass.
✔ Perfect for Cold Water & Structure Fishing
The Dead Slowler shines in early spring and post-spawn, when large female bass hold in shallow water recovering from spawning stress. It’s equally effective in winter, allowing for precise presentations near cover and structure, where trophy bass lurk.
✔ Weighted Hook Compatibility for Fall Action
While the Dead Slowler’s tail doesn’t move on a free fall, pairing it with a 3.5g weighted hook—such as the Zappu Piledriver Counter—adds a subtle swimming motion during descent, mimicking a struggling baitfish. The rear-positioned weight maintains a natural, head-down swimming posture, making it an excellent option for suspended fish.
- Recommended Hook Size: Offset #4/0 – #5/0
Dead Slowler Full Contact – Go Deeper for Winter Giants
For anglers targeting bass in deeper water, the Dead Slowler Full Contact version offers 13% more weight, allowing it to reach one level deeper while maintaining the same signature slow-swimming action. Whether fishing the shallows in early winter or targeting deep-holding bass in frigid temperatures, the Full Contact version provides the perfect complement to the original model.
The Jackall Dead Slowler is the ultimate swimbait for cold water, structure fishing, and big bass hunting. Its deliberate, ultra-slow action and perfectly tuned design give you the confidence to slow down and trigger bites when it matters most.
