Trace® - Shad Hammer

Trace Multi-Jointed Swimbait The Trace is a premium multi-jointed swimbait lineup built to deliver unmatched realism, versatility, and performance across a wide range of fishing conditions. Featuring a proven multi-piece jointed body design, the Trace produces a fluid, lifelike swimming action that closely mimics natural baitfish and consistently draws interest from pressured and aggressive fish alike. Available in multiple sizes—from the ultra-compact 3.75” model designed specifically for ponds, BFS-style setups, and shallow-water finesse fishing, to the powerful 7.25” version built for big fish and maximum drawing power—the Trace allows anglers to perfectly match forage size and fishing scenarios. Whether you’re working calm pond water, open water, or fishing around structure, there’s a Trace built for the job. Sink options vary by size to give you the right presentation for each application. The 3.75” Trace is offered as a slow-sinking model, designed to stay in the upper portion of the water column and excel in pond fishing and finesse applications. Larger sizes are available in floating, slow sinking, and fast sinking options, allowing anglers to dial in depth and presentation with confidence. Select sizes feature an interchangeable soft plastic tail with a hidden screw-lock system, designed to extend the life of the bait through repeated bites. Finished with ultra-sharp black nickel treble hooks, detailed 3D scales, lifelike eyes, and premium paint finishes, every Trace swimbait is built to perform straight out of the package—and hold up over time. From finesse presentations near the surface to full-size trophy hunting, the Trace delivers realistic action, dependable durability, and confidence-building performance.
