The 3:16 Mission Fish is the bait that started it all. The first truely weedless swimbait, it was released in 2000 after 2 years of research and development. The
3:16 Mission Fish was designed to allow anglers to put big baits in places where big baits had never gone before. With it''s weedless design, you can fire the Mission Fish back in the tullies, work it over and through tree branches, or shake the bait through heavy grass beds. The three factors of; big bait, slow presentation, and heavy cover make the
3:16 Mission Fish a big bass catching machine.
Many anglers have also discovered the
316 Mission Fish to be the ultimate sight fishing swimbait for trophy largemouth. Jed Dickerson and Mac Weakley proved this in a big way in 2003 by boating monster bass weighing 21lbs 11.2oz and 19lbs 8oz respectively! Jed''s bass is the number 4 bass on the Bassmaster Top 25 list, and the largest bass taken on an artificial lure in 14 years. The
316 Mission Fish excels as a sight fishing lure because of it''s realism (due to the hidden hook design) and the fact that when you hook a large bass, the lure slides up the hook making it more difficult for the bass to spit the hook.
The
316 Mission Fish is available in 6 colors and 6 sizes. The specifications on the bait are as follows:

My first swimbait fish on the delta came on a pearl Mission Fish. 8 lbs. even. Many more have come since then. Very efficient bait that will go through any type of cover and good in open water. It has the ability to hook up at any point. You get more bang for your buck. Durability is an issue but that's what they make glue for. BTW: I haven't been as successful with imitations......Doc

Variable bait

The diversity of this bait makes it unlike any other baits I own. This bait can be slow-rolled, pitched, flipped or fished like a jig. Because of this variability it is a must have bait. The longevity of the bait can be enhanced greatly by tending small tears immediately with Mend-it or a similar product.

The best weedless swimbait out there

When I bought my first mission fish my mind was running thru all the places I could throw it. The mission is popular for good reason. It can go places other swimbaits dream of. With its heavy weight hidden in its head it can sneak in spots where the big boys lay. The only downside with a mission fish is missed fish you have to deal with. You can help avoid this by leaving the hook exposed when possible. Also bending the hook pt increases hookups you can see how from the swimbaitnaiton videos page. My best luck with a mission fish has been by working it slowly thru submerged grass. Some of my strike have been when I was in grass so thick I couldnt see how the fish found the lure. I usually fish my mission fish on a lighter swimbait rod and braid which is a must in grass. The key for me is hesitating a second when fish grab the bait I always seem to get the best hookups this way. While the mission fish isnt a bait you need everywhere there will be days when its your best big fish bait.

Can't beat this bait

The Mission fish made by mickey ellis is a true innovation that can replace jigs and worms in pitching and flipping situations. it comes through heavy cover like a charm, and is a must as well as a mainstay in my tackle box. this is 1 bait that simply can't be replaced this is also 1 bait that BIG MAMA Bass just love i highly suggest this bait to anyone looking to complement their heavy cover game when out on the water.
