The Strike Zone Mini Slammer is the shorter, 3-inch cousin to the Strike Zone Slammer and a great bait to finesse bass, walleye and other gamefish especially during a tough bite due to weather conditions or heavy fishing pressure These baits are salt impregnated and feature a unique tail-action, unmatched
by other drop-shot baits.
Slammers work great in a drop-shot rig,
jighead and Caroline-rig or on a small goby sled! Watch big panfish take to these baits as well!
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Strike Zone Baits are highly effective on a variety of fresh water game
fish there are several rigging options and techniques.
DROP SHOTTING
This is the preferred rigging for our slammer baits.
This rig is quite simple and consists of a single light wire hook like
the octopus or circle hook with a clip on weight on bottom. The slammer
it's usually nose hooked, but can be Texas rigged for weedless fishing.
The slammer has a unique bite- triggering action, this bait needs very
little action and works best with a slight rod twitch on a slack line.
Our baits are also effective when used on a Carolina rig, shaky head
and jig head like a football or ball head.

Mark Kulik of Bolton, Ontario, has been
designing his own goby variation for a number of years. He prefers to
call his flagship product, the Slammer,
a “goby hybrid,” however, because in a way it is a generic bait, the
size and shape of which bass across the country respond to.
“When I designed it, I wanted it to look
like a goby if you are fishing goby water, but also look enough like a
perch if you are fishing lake Champlain and to look like other fish bass
feed on elsewhere,” explained Kulik.
What makes Kulik’s “one look-fits-all”
description make sense is a conversation we had with a bass researcher a
couple of years ago. He mentioned that a four-inch Tootsie Roll-style
prototype had proven amazingly effective to bass in his lab tanks. “But
what fisherman is going to buy a Tootsie Roll?” he said. He modified his
prototypes so that they caught fishermen without losing their appeal to
the fish, and his baits have gone on to success since.
But the Strike
Zone Slammer goes far beyond Tootsie Roll appeal. Kulik has added
tantalizing action with a large head that tapers down through a supple
segmented body to a flattened paddletail. The soft material and design
give the bait quivering, lifelike movement even with little or no motion
administered by the angler.
The salt-impregnated Slammer comes in 35
tantalizing colors, many of which Lee’s Global Tackle has in
current stock.
The bait is best used on a dropshot rig.
Kulik uses an Owner Octopus #1 hook when he nose-hooks the Slammer.
An Owner Down Shot 2/0 light wire hook is his choice when conditions
call for a weedless Texas-rigged bait. A Buffalo-area angler caught a
7.7 –pound smallmouth on Lake Erie while fishing the Slammer
on a jighead.
Word of the Strike
Zone Slammer’s effectiveness has been spreading through bass ranks
slowly but surely. (The company has done no advertising to date.) The
only thing holding it back is the fact that few guys raking in the bucks
care to share their secret.
