R&R Tackle Tico Through-Line Swimbait

The Tico Swimbait uses a through-line design that lets the lure slide up your line when a fish is hooked. You fight the fish, not the bait. The durable composite body handles repeated strikes without tearing apart.
    • Through-line design for direct fish fighting
    • Durable composite unibody
    • 5" (1oz) and 8.5" (1.5oz) sizes
    • Mustad hooks with multiple colors

Fight the Fish, Not the Lure

Standard swimbaits add drag that fish use against you. The Tico's through-line design eliminates that. When a fish eats, the lure slides freely up the line and you have a direct connection to the hook. Fewer thrown hooks, cleaner fights.

The composite body is softer than hard plastic but tougher than standard soft plastics. The 5-inch handles trout, flounder, and slot reds. The 8.5-inch targets cobia, stripers, and bull drum.

Through-Line System

Your line runs through the center. On hookup, the lure slides up and away. Zero lure drag during the fight means fewer lost fish.

Composite Durability

One-piece composite absorbs strikes and survives teeth and structure. Outlasts traditional soft plastics while maintaining soft feel.

Two Size Options

5-inch (1oz) for trout, flounder, and redfish. 8.5-inch (1.5oz) for cobia, stripers, and larger nearshore predators. Both with Mustad hooks.

How to Fish the Tico Swimbait

  1. Thread line through the lure body
  2. Tie to the Mustad hook
  3. Cast to structure, grass edges, or current breaks
  4. Retrieve with steady swim or twitch-pause action
  5. When fish hits, reel tight and let the lure slide up
