Latest Articles

	Missile Baits Extends Their Arsenal with the Chunky D There is nothing quite as ubiquitous or versatile in bass fishing tackle boxes everywhere as the soft plastic craw imitators. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but one profile in particular, no doubt evolved from the old school pork rind days, is that flattened beaver style bait. Today, we take a look at the second such profile from Missile, the Chunky D.
	A Hot Swappable Jerkbait - The Baitsanity Explorer BCS 120 Baitsanity's latest release in the Explorer series is a fresh take on jerkbaits, featuring an innovative interchangeable weight system. This design allows anglers to effortlessly adjust the lure's behavior—transforming it from floating to fast-sinking - and customize the amount of rattle sound, all within seconds.
	A Reliable Check Down when Fishing the Blitz of Pressured Water : O.S.P.'s DoLive Beaver Beaver baits lend their namesake label to the flat, cone-like, oval tail at the end of the bait. In most of these profiles, that tail is split down the middle, but attached at the ends so it can be fished either as a solid piece, or, with that attachment broken, as two flailing appendages. O.S.P.'s DoLive Beaver has no such option. In fact, the bait looks more like a craw than it does an ambiguous creature.
	Not a Traditional Jig: RedRum Tube Cracker Jigs Have you ever looked at a bait and wondered, “What’s all the hype about?” That’s exactly what I thought when I first laid eyes on the RedRum Tube Cracker. At first glance, it may seem like just another simple tube jig, but don’t let its appearance fool you. The Tube Cracker's unique action, sound, and versatility, along with its ability to attract multiple species, prove that looks can be deceiving.
	Z-Man and Evergreen Launch Fresh JackHammer Fall Patterns Including Morning Dawn and Black Jack There is no disputing the effectiveness of the Z-Man and Evergreen Chatterbait JackHammer, and this Fall the two companies are collaborating once again to deliver four fresh new patterns designed to coax fish that have seen it all to strike. These new bladed jigs feature some never before released patterns and blade treatments...
	Rocking the Northland Minnesota Mullet for Kickers Hair jigs have been employed for bass fishing for years, and especially when fishing for smallmouth, but hair jigs designed for largemouth often taken a backseat with so many lure options. Northland, a specialist in jigs, has created a new jig with all the best attributes of a tiny marabou jig but with some extra features designed specifically for largemouth.
	A Big Bladed Kick in the Bass : The Donkey Slayer The Donkey Slayer is a handcrafted bladed jig, distinguished by its massive blade, hand polished or plated tungsten head, and paired with hand-tied hybrid silicone and living rubber skirts. Originating from the California Delta region, this custom lure has thus far been fished by a select group of anglers in the know - until now.
	Berkley Channels Science to Launch New Forward Facing Sonar Optimized Baits Like it or not forward facing sonar, also known as live-sonar, has forever changed the fishing world. This powerful tool has enabled anglers to evolve and adapt like never before by providing them with the ability to see how fish react to baits in real time. To arm anglers with baits designed specifically to maximize effectiveness with forward facing sonar Berkley is launching three new baits optimized for this technology.
	Battle of the Turd Baits - Dropping the Missile Bomba Worm Just when you've grown comfortable into thinking lure designers and manufacturers have exhausted available profiles for soft plastic baits, something rumbles in the creative bowels of those designers and out shoots another...
	Kickin' It with Yamamoto's Zako Variant The original Zako, featuring a y-shaped swim tail, is a popular choice as trailer on skirted baits like vibrating and swim jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, etc.. The Kickin' Zako is variant made instead, with a paddletail.
	Megabass's New Sleeper Craw : Just Tie It On, Pitch It Out, and Get Bit One of the surest methods to get anglers to bite as both fishermen and consumers is with realistic craw profiles. Anyone who has fished with live crawdads knows the effectiveness of this little delicacy, so a bait that imitates the crustacean just makes sense. Unfortunately, not all realistic craw baits are effective...
	Berkley’s Latest Finesse Worm Doesn’t Fall Flat Berkley’s PowerBait MaxScent lineup of lures spans everything from large creatures and trailers to finesse baits. Designed for finesse applications Berkley’s MaxScent Flat Worms are deadly effective across a wide range of conditions, and is even designed to perform when the bite is especially tough and fish are suspended or finicky.
	Shimano BOOSTs Freshwater Hardbait Lineup In advance of the Bassmaster Classic Shimano is bolstering their freshwater lure lineup with three new lures that make use of the company’s patented BOOST CONCEPT technologies. These new offerings include the Enber jerkbait, World Rush squarebill, and finesse oriented Zumverno jerkbait.
	Mike Iaconelli's Powerbait Flute Worm by Berkley is no Fluke We are in the process of looking at some of their newest PowerBait lures including the Maxscent Flat Worm but before that review goes live let's take a look at one of Berkley's classics. With the help of Mike Iaconelli this the Flute Tail Worm was created for those dedicated Neko/wacky/shaky head fishermen
	Creature Fever : Big Bite Bait's Hybrid Soft Plastic Craw Tube The bait's main body is a tube, but with rings on the outside all leading to the traditional tube bait skirt. However, out from the sides, just before the bait transitions to the skirt, protrude two claw like appendages.
	Berkley’s PowerBait Infused Spinnerbaits – The Power Blade Series The Berkley Power Blade spinnerbaits are designed with numerous custom elements including signature blades, sleek heads molded around sharp Fusion 19 hooks, and perhaps most importantly, hand tied PowerBait infused skirting material designed to attract fish.
	Even More Versatile Than Its Name Suggests, Big Bite Bait's Swimming Mama How do you improve upon an already popular soft plastic bait profile? How about if you take that popular bait and add to it, a dimension not easily achieved by the original? In the case of Big Bite Bait's popular flipping bait, the Yomama, you streamline the bait and add twintail grub like appendages to transform it into a bait intended to be fished in constant motion.
	DUO Launches A New Wakebait and Dock Skipping T-Hog Bug DUO International was not at ICAST this year but some other many manufacturers they launched a few new products that will be making their way to retailers in the coming weeks. These include a new wakebait, plastic creature, and even a new bladed treble designed to add some extra flash to DUO's small cranks and shad style lures.
	Strike King Continues to Refine Their Family of Baits One of the more popular bait brands, Strike King, continues to refine and expand their product offering for 2023. Most notable for me is their new tungsten head Thunder Cricket bladed jig.

	The Ever Green XV-5 is a Stealthy Shad Profiled Jerkbait Crossover Ever Green continues to design some of the most refined JDM style baits and this season the company is introducing the XV-5, a shad profiled jerkbait crossover that is specifically designed for targeting shy fish in both crystal clear and highly pressured waters.
	Big Bite Baits Scentsation Lures... "It Really Stinks!" Big Bite Baits recently hired the services of a 30 year PhD Chemist to develop a new, soft plastic formula infused with proprietary fish attractant. Over the last season the manufacturer distributed prototypes through their pro angling team for testing in the rigorous pro circuits and continued through the off season. Once everyone was confident they had the right recipe, work began on new, bait profiles.
	What in the HellraiZer? Z-Man’s Unconventional Topwater Chatterbait Ron Davis of Chatterbait® fame is at it once again with the introduction of a new take on the chatterbait design, this time bringing the vibration bait to the surface. The HellaiZer is designed to harness the sound and action of the ChatterBait bladed jig and adapt it for topwater applications.
	Z-Man Takes Finesse a Step Further with Micro Baits The crown jewel in the Z-Man plastic arsenal is the brand’s ElaZtech thermoplastic material which is ultra-tough, buoyant, and able to be molded in very detailed bait profiles. This season the company is taking finesse to the next phase with the introduction of five micro-sized lures, each of which is designed to be fished with an equally small micro finesse ShroomZ jighead.
	Big Bite Bait's Stealthy Little Limit Maker Big Bite Bait's Limit Maker is a small, three and three quarter inch (3 3/4") soft plastic bait with a tapered, stick body ending in a pointed little tail. It's one of those do-nothing, looks-like-nothing, little baits that's easily taken for granted.
	Cranking up a Revitalized Classic : Bagley Bait's Balsa B Bagley Baits has a long and storied history in the bait manufacturing world. Founder, Jim Bagley (1923-2004), was an innovator with high standards and strict quality control that translated to a series of lures that produced results. At least five Bassmaster Classic wins can be credited to Bagley's products.
	Berkley's New Finesse Worm is Straight Money Straight tail, finesse worms are a staple out here in California. Just about every serious soft bait manufacturer that wants any part of the West Coast offers one and those who don't have a difficult time gaining any traction out here...
	Shimano Cranks Up the BOOST with Their New World Minnow and Diver Jerkbaits Featuring a familiar profile what makes these baits unique is the “BOOST” technology infused into the bait that is designed to increase both casting distance and visual appeal in the water, enabling anglers to target bass with a unique presentation that actively shimmers even when suspended.
	Built for 20+ Foot Depths : Spro's Little John Super DD Crankbait Ideal for those cooler months, Spro introduced a deep diving crankbait from Pro Angler John Crew's Little John family that is designed to reach depths in excess of twenty feet. Meet the Little John Super DD.
	Berkley Goes Deep with PowerBait Infused Jigs This season Berkley delves deep into the jig market with the introduction of seven new jig lines, all of which are designed with significant input from their prostaffers that are well known for their prowess with jigs, namely Pro Anglers Gary Klein and Bobby Lane, and are all built with proprietary hardware and baked in PowerBait flavor.
	Not a Way to Livestream Your Fishing, Doomsday's Roku is Something Else Having baits you can rig in different configurations in response to changing conditions helps to keep your tackle box free from mind numbing clutter. Doomsday Tackle Company recognizes the dilemma of having too much tackle in your bag to think straight and designed the subject of today's review with versatility in mind.
	An Enthusiast Tier Creature from Megabass of America : The Bottle Shrimp A look at a product with a somewhat traditional profile but in true Megabass fashion, just a little different take. Here is our take on Megabass of America's Honjikomi Bottle Shrimp.
	Shaking it Up Always : Reaction Innovation's Twerk Already producing arguably one of the most universal trailer style baits on the market, Reaction Innovations manufacturers an even more trailer specific, chunk style, plastic lure.... the Reaction Innovations Twerk
	Old School Rhythms with the Reins Paddle Tail Worm Reins has slowly and carefully been building out their soft plastic bait catalog over the last few years and one of their plastic products is an ode to the old school. Today we take a look at Reins's somewhat new, old school paddle tail worm.
	What Do You Get When You Cross a Shad With a Grub? The Deal Soft bodied swimbaits come in all shapes and sizes these days. Instead of a paddle for a tail, Berkley gives the "The Deal" twin tails that resemble the ends of a twintail grub.
	Swimbait or Crankbait? The Deps Tiny Bulldoze 100 The Bullshooter and Bulldoze has always played second fiddle to the Slide Swimmer, but are still popular options for anglers looking for gill profiles. This season Deps has miniaturized these lures and introduced Tiny versions designed to target bass of all sizes across a wider range of applications.
	Locking Targets on Versatility : The Missile Craw by Missile Baits Missile Baits's Missile Craw is a really interesting take on the crawdad bait. This bait definitely leans on the side of not-realistic and prefers to blur the lines between bait types.
	More Rage from Strike King, This Time in a Bug For the soft plastic aficionado who can't get enough of flipping and pitching Texas rigged plastics into the muck, feeling that "tick," reeling down and swinging back hard enough to make a fish go cross eyed, creature and trailer baits rule. You might say baits like this are all the rage...
	Cranking It Up with PH Custom Lures's Herren's 2.0 Squarebill Crankbaits serve as comfort food for the bass angler's insatiable appetite for gear, and balsa wood cranks can be found in the organic aisle of his favorite grocery store. PH Custom Lures has a product that kind of blurs the line between wood and plastic cranks...
	All You Have To Do Is Dream ... Shot Always on the lookout for something new and exciting, finesse baits are something that usually catches our attention. I was surprised to discover the subject of today's review not so much because Strike King was making it, but more so because KVD's name is attached. When I think of KVD fishing, I always have in mind him throwing something more active than a finesse bait...
	Creature Fever : O.S.P.'s DoLive Craw JDM products are not limited to rods, reels, and hard baits. Dedicated enthusiast tackle aficionados are well aware many Japanese Tackle Manufacturers also produce soft plastic baits that may or may not be easily available outside of Japan. O.S.P. is a company whose product seems to be continually in flux regarding availability here in North America.
	Is Strike King's Ocho, Senko's Rival? At a recent writer's conference hosted by Strike King and Lew's on Clear Lake, CA, the company introduced us to a host of new products. One product is the company's take on a very popular staple amongst bass fisherman. Many "hate" throwing it, but there's no denying its effectiveness and long lasting popularity. Here's our look at Strike King's take on the ubiquitous soft plastic stick bait, the KVD Ocho.
	An Under the Radar, Quality Trailer Bait : Reins Ax Craw Soft plastic trailer baits are generally designed to exaggerate the appearance of a crawdad in defensive posture. As a result, the vast majority feature large, out of proportion claw sections and bodies that for some reason resemble a crawdad that's been stepped on rather than something viable. It's difficult to argue with success, however, as the profile is proven.
	MONSTERBASS Launches a Mean Popper, the Mad Max While Mosnterbass has partnered up with many manufacturers for their monthly boxes they are now designing and launching more baits that are branded under their own "Monsterbass Collection," and the newest of which is a popper dubbed the Mad Max.
