Introduction: Used by some of the biggest pros on tour including Dean
Rojas and Jeff Kriet, Big Bite Baits are designed to get the biggest fish to
bite. While the company is best known for their wide array of plastics for bass
fishing they also have tiny plastics and jigs for crappie.
The Cane Thumper looks half worm
half paddletail
Cane Thumper: The Cane Thumper s a
paddletail with the same profile and body shape as other Rojas Big Bite baits
and comes with a more detailed head and protruding ribs on the bottom and hook
pockets on the top, bottom and sides.
The underside has protruding ribs
These hook pockets give the Cane Thumper less
plastic in the core of the bait to ball up on your hook point and interfere with
hook sets. The bait is 5 inches in length and available in a ten colors
including Alewife, watermelon, pearl and tilapia.
A look at the paddletail
The bait can be rigged Texas with or without a
weighted hook and can be used a trailer on vibrating jigs or swim jigs. The Cane
Thumper is very detailed and looks like it will generate a good amount of flash
in the water as it swims and should be lethal swimming over both hard and soft
cover or even in open water.
The Flying Squirrel is a hybrid
lure...
Flying Squirrel: B.A.S.S. Pro Angler Jeff
Kriet designed the 5 inch long Flying Squirrel to be a hybrid between a finesse
and creature bait. The lure features two "bulb" tail sections that are made from
floating plastic. The legs holding these bulbs are very thin allowing the bulbs
to float upwards and away from the body of the bait so that even the slightest
of movements will get these bulbs moving.
...with floating plastic bulbs on
long appendages
Sporting features from varying types of baits the
Flying Squirrel can be used in both finesse and power techniques. The Flying
Squirrel is designed to be fished Shaky Head but can also be fished Texas,
Carolina or used as a jig trailer.

Sugar Cane Worm: Also new this season is
the Sugar Cane Worm, which is designed great for finesse presentations like drop
shotting and shaky head fishing. The 5" is great for finesse while 7" versions
are good for Texas or Carolina rigs, The Sugar cane worm features hook slots and
is designed to move a great deal with even the most subtle of movements.
Designed for finesse fishing the
Sugar Cane worm can be fished shaky or drop shotted
Kriet Tail Lizard: Fans of the Kriet Tail
worm can expand their arsenal this season with a new lizard designed with the
same oversized tail. This tail gives the lizard a great swimming action and the
larger profile of the lizard is designed to target lunkers.
Looking for a mag lizard with a
tail that really moves? The Kriet Lizard might just be your new best friend
The Kriet Lizard Tail is 8 inches in length and
available in nine colors including combo versions like the Watermelon/Chartreuse
tail and Black/Blue Tail. It is designed for spring and summer fishing and can
be rigged either Texas or Carolina style.
