New ~JACKALL MIKEY~ colorsPosted Sep-21-07 08:08:02 PDT Jackall Mikey SwimbaitThe Mikey is a bulky three-piece jointed bait that has an excellent reputation among anglers who fish with big swimbaits for big bass. Many California big bass experts speak highly of the Mikey. Although it isn't as gigantic as some other big jointed swimbaits, the Mikey is fairly bulky at 5-1/2 inches long and weighs 1-1/8 oz.
Jackall Mikey Jr.Compared to the bigger Mikey, the Mikey Jr. hasn't earned as good a reputation among big swimbait anglers. Probably because it's not really a big swimbait. On the other hand, the Mikey Jr. is the size favored by anglers who fish for big smallmouth or spotted bass. These species don't grow as big - or go for as big a bait - as their largemouth cousins. It's tough to call the Mikey Jr a big bait - but it is bulky for its 3-3/4 inch size and weighs 5/8 oz. So if you're not looking to land 10 to 20 pound largemouth, but you would like to bag some hefty 4 or 5 pound spots or smallies, the Mikey Jr. may be for you.
