Magic Swimmer

The Sebile Magic Swimmer, with its jointed body and specifically engineered weight system, has an incredibly lifelike swimming motion that you will just have to see to believe!

One approach to fishing the Magic Swimmer is to think of it as a clear-water alternative to the spinnerbait. When the water is clear and the sun is high, try reeling it at a moderate to fast pace across the surface to create a “wake” in front of the bait - in other words, fishing it like a wakebait.

In low-light conditions such as stained water or overcast skies, use an aggressive retrieve. Try hard twitches and rapid handle turns around cover such as laydowns and docks. A common setup for this lure is a Medium-heavy or Heavy action casting rod with a fast action. Though preferences differ, a solid all-around reel is any 6.4:1 gear ratio reel, which will allow you to easily slow roll it, burn it, or anything in between.

Your line choice depends on how you plan to use the bait. If you plan to “wake” the Sebile Magic Swimmer across the surface, then use 15-20 pound monofilament. Since monofilament floats, this line choice makes it easier to keep the bait on the surface of the water, even while reeling at slow speeds. When fishing with a subsurface technique, use 14-20 pound fluorocarbon. Thinner diameter line works best when fishing clear or open water, but increase your line size if you are fishing around grass, docks, or other cover.
