Tim Horton's Bomber Switchback Shad Clicks On and Off
The Bomber Switchback Crankbait is the latest addition to the popular Fat
Free Shad line and features a unique design that features a modifiable rattle
system. A lure that is able to be modified for changing situations?
You know we had to cut this one open.
TackleTour Autopsy: Cracking
Open the Rapala Clackin Crank
By the end of the day the lab was filled with the fumes from burning
plastic and discarded hardware from sacrificed lures littered the workbench.
Suffice to say it was a tackle massacre. The first victim to go under the knife
was a lure that we wanted to take a closer look at since it was very first
introduced, the Rapala Clackin' Crank.
TackleTour Autopsy: Tired of Frogs and
Rats? Flip-In the Bird
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, what should
I cut open today? It is only appropriate that this Halloween we take a closer
look at a raven, ok so not really a raven but a bird nonetheless. This exciting
new lure has garnered a lot of interest from topwater anglers that would like to
flip-in the bird at some aggressive largemouth.
TackleTour Autopsy: Cutting up
the Koppers Live Target Walking Frog
Since we started the Autopsy series we have received
countless requests from readers asking for a look inside their favorite bait.
The most requested type of lure is not a crankbait or a ripbait but rather
topwater baits. The Live Target Walking Frog is the third frog to go under the
knife at the lab.
TackleTour Autopsy: The
R2S Dahlberg Diver Frog is Solid
As you can see from our review the River2Sea Larry
Dahlberg Diver Frog is quite unlike any other frog that we have ever tested, but
does this frog really qualify as a “hollow bodied” frog at all? While the frog
is categorized as such by e-tailers the lure features a unique design that is
just as distinctive as the lure itself.
TackleTour Autopsy: Don’t Mess with the Ima Big
Stik
The Big Stik was created by IMA and Pro Angler Randy
Pringle to draw big strikes from big fish and is not limited to use for just
largemouth bass. This lure is designed to attract just about anything that swims
that is large and aggressive enough to take on this noisy side to side moving
oversized pencil bait.
TackleTour Autopsy : Megabass Vision X-110 - Seriously? During the 2010 Holiday Season, Megabass Japan released yet another new version of their popular Vision X-110 jerkbait, the Vision X-110 Magnum. It is said to be a beefier, version of the original and based on the floating model introduced a couple of years ago. One has to wonder if this same bait or another variation thereof will make it Stateside or not.
TackleTour Autopsy: One tough
crank, a look inside the SPRO Little John DD
The original SPRO Little John crankbaits have become
popular shallow running cranks and building on the success of the original are
the new larger and deeper diving Little John DD (Deep Diver) cranks which are
designed to target fish holding at 20 foot depths! We take a look at this new
larger Little John in our latest autopsy.
TackleTour Autopsy: Dissection
of Snag Proof's Bobby's Perfect Frog
You asked for it, a frog autopsy, and we kick things off with
one of the most popular walking frogs on the market, the Snag
Proof Bobby's Perfect Frog. Somewhat reminiscent of a high school frog
dissection we head to lab with blade in hand.
TackleTour Autopsy: Diving into
KVD's Strike King 6XD Crankbait
On the operating table is Strike king's hot 6XD
crankbait which was designed with the help of KVD and employed on his 2nd place
finish at the 2009 BASS Elite Series event at Kentucky Lake. Let's take a closer
look at this deep diver.
TackleTour Autopsy: Making Hudd
Fillets
widely used by both big bass hunters and professional anglers, and with good
reason… this bait is arguably not only the most realistic but has accounted for
some of the biggest trophy bass catches out there. You asked for it, in the
latest installment of the TT Autopsy we prepare
to fillet a Hudd to see just what makes this big bait so deadly.
TackleTour Autopsy: Lucky Craft
Pointer Minnow 100
TackleTour Autopsy? You read it right, its time to cut
up some tackle and take a look inside to see just what these products are made
of. We kick things off with on of the most popular ripbaits on the market, the
venerable Lucky Craft Pointer Minnow 100.
