Looks like the child of a Sebile Magic Swimmer and a King Shad.  It looks pretty cool.

Collierville, TN – February 17, 2009 – Strike King Lure Company, the makers of the popular King Kong, King Shad and Wake Shad jointed swimbaits are proud to introduce the new Sexy Swimmer to its line-up. The Sexy Swimmer is a double jointed hard plastic swimbait that is 5" inches in total length and weighs in at 5/8oz.  The Sexy Swimmer does not have a diving lip, but is instead a slow sinking swimbait designed to be retrieved at various speeds with unbelievable action and attraction to fish.  "The Sexy Swimmer is an awesome addition to our already stout swim bait line-up," says 2008 Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam. "I am really excited to have these in my arsenal for the 2009 tournaments season, the action is the deal on this bait and I look forward to catching some really big fish on this lure." Available in 6 awesome colors, including the Original Sexy Shad and Chartreuse Sexy Shad. Premium hooks and oval line tie add to the benefits of this lure and it is one you will want to make sure you have in your tackle box this spring.  Tie on a Sexy Swimmer and catch the biggest monster of your life!

Stop by the Strike King Booth at the BassMasters Classic to get a special sneak preview of the New Sexy Swimmer in all 6 colors.

Product Availability will be Mid-April in most Major Retailers.

I would guess that the big retailers like Bass Pro and Cabela's will have them soon.  If you are in West MI, I would also think D&R will have them quickly too.

Not my kind of "sexy swimmer" that's for sure.   

Sorry... too many years hanging out in Grand Haven every weekend.

got a feeling thats gonna be hard to come by for awhile, maybe [REMOVED - see No Links Policy List]

I wonder if they got their paint issue resolved.  The Red Eye Shad and Sexy spoon have the paint that flakes off in a few casts on many of the baits.  I wonder if you won't end up with a $15 pure chrome sexy swimmer...

I clear coated all mine before first use....

It's amazing to me how many baits have finishes that don't last.  Even the high-end baits like the Lucky Crafts.  You shouldn't have to clear coat a bait before you use it.  Especially when forking out some of the prices we do on baits.

Clear coating them!  That's a really good idea!  Now I have to buy some clearcoat.  Where is the best source?  It sounds like guys brush that on?

My brother-in-law owns a body shop. Sprayed a bunch of them last saturday....

[Fishmael]

My neighbor does body work...Maybe I'll have to ask him to spray some baits for me.

Now comes the hard part. Picking out the color, Sexy shad or green gizzard?

Why pick out a color?  You started painting your own, right? 

[bassassasin88]

Got a brand new king shad staring at me, thinking about painting that one. Strike King needs to work on there painting.

I think you can buy a can of clear coat for $4 at any store.

Can bought clears (especially polys) won't hold up.  They aren't made to stand up to the type of abuse you put a lure through.  They will eventually break down (some quicker than others).

I used automotive clear coat (two part)

[csfishslayer]

Ross automotive has the tough Grade clear coat that you would need for that kinda application . I don't much care for strike king baits the paint and eyes seem to fall of there lures I bought a few red eye shad last year and everyone of the eyes fell off .
