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. |
 |
Cashing In on Berkley's Powerbait Ned Rig Worm
As finesse techniques grow in number, the
corresponding baits seem to get smaller and smaller. I admit, I have a tough
time with some of the smaller baits because they often lead to a lot of small
bites. Still, when fishing pressure is high, there's often no other alternative
but to downsize your bait. Skeet Reese has a bait for just such an occasion. |
 |
Megabass Launches the Sleeper Craw and lxl SHAD TX
This season Megabass America will be adding some additional weapons to
their arsenal of baits including new sizes and colors of existing lines, as well
as the exciting new introduction of their next “Sleeper” bait. As a follow up to
their goby styled bait the company is extending the formula to one of the most
popular forages for bass, the ever popular crawfish. |
 |
Molix's Creature : A Super Sized Morsel of a Bait
My first recollection of a "creature" bait was when GYCB ran with the genre and introduced us to their
Kreature bait.
Since that time, we've referred to any soft plastic bait that has defies
description and even some we can easily describe as simply as a creature bait -
hence our Creature Fever theme. |
 |
Not Afraid of Contact - The
Jackall Chubble Minnow Shaped Squarebill
The Chubble stands apart from the rest of the Jackall hardbait lineup
with a squarebill lip paired with a longer body that is designed to imitate
minnows and exhibit a more natural swimming action than traditional squarebill
cranks. |
 |
Taking a Walk with Megabass's New Megadog
Measuring at just
over eight and a half inches and weighing just over four and a half ounces, the
Megadog is a big bait by any standard, but especially so for Megabass. |
 |
Brian Schmidt Baits's One Love : The Ned Dred
With the popularity of bait products like jigs,
punch skirts, and skirted bullet and nail weights, it was only a matter of time
before we started to see something similar for the latest finesse craze, the Ned
Rig. After sharing our discovery of Brian Schmidt Bait's Hybrid Football Jig, we
learned of a new product Schmidt is tying that promises to take the finesse
crowd to another level. |
 |
Z-Man & Evergreen International's Jack Hammer Stealth
The collaboration of Z-Man and Evergreen International that resulted in the creation of the renowned Jack Hammer Chatterbait literally shook the bladed jig market. That lure is to its classification of baits as the Vision OneTen is to its own. That unprecedented popularity and effectiveness often leads to two eventualities - a rash of similar product by other manufacturers, and a catalog of variants from the originator. |
 |
Extending Their Line of Premium Baits : The Erie 95 SD by Nishine Lure Works
Twitch, twitch, pause... twitch, twitch, pause... blam! That anticipated, yet somehow always surprising strike on a jerkbait is addicting. Just about every bait manufacturer making hard plastic baits offers them, and whenever an editor here at TackleTour sees a new one, you can be sure that at some point that bait will make it to TT
HQ. |
 |
Another Bait Joins the Squad, Missile's Ned Bomb
If you're familiar with Missile Baits's Bomb Shot
drop shot bait, their Ned Bomb will feel very familiar. The company is doing a
good job coming up with a signature look with their baits and the Ned Bomb looks
like a huskier version of the Bomb Shot. |
 |
When the Bait You Throw Must Do Something More Somehow, Let It Be Lowen-Craw
It's been decades since I knew where my original Rebel Wee-Craws vanished to and while that bait touches upon my nostalgic soul, PH Custom Lures's Lowen's
Cyber Craw brushes up against my enthusiast side... |
 |
Picking Apart Rapala's BX Big Brat Squarebill
It has been a while since we have looked at one of Rapala's
hardbaits. While the brand continues to offer some of the most popular
crankbaits on the market for multiple species, including bass and trout fishing.
Rather than rest on their laurels Rapala continues to try and find ways to blend
their proven lures with new design and manufacturing techniques. |
 |
MagDraft Part II : We Know It Was
You, Freestyle
The MagDraft Freestyle is a six inch (6")
paddletail style bait based off the companies popular MagDraft swimbait. The
difference here is while the original MagDraft is pre-rigged with a hook and
internal harness, the Freestyle is, well, free of all of that. |
 |
Cold Water Cranking Weapon -
River2Sea's Tactical Bassin' DD Crankbait
As the air and water temperature drops in Fall and Winter the reaction
bite also cools. Fishing slower and breaking out the finesse gear is often par
for the course, but River2Sea and Tactical Bassin' have created a crankbait that
is designed to unlock the feeding response in elusive deep holding fish. |
 |
Catch Outdoors's Take On the Ubiquitous Bladed Jig
Leveraging the technology they used to develop
thier Zero Gravity Jig and combining it with one of the hottest bait trends
going, bladed jigs, they've come up with another bait product they hope
"catches" on. Here's our look at their relatively new, Zero Gravity Hybrid Airquake bladed jig. |
 |
Megabass's Latest Lure of Unusual Size. - the Big M7.5
It's been a little bit since we've had a bait product worthy of our Lures of Unusual Size (L.O.U.S.) designation. Megabass enters the fray with their new Big M7.5 crankbait. A four and a half inch (4.5") plug designed to hit depths of up to twenty four feet (24') and swim there without tearing out your rotator cuff. Is it as effective as claimed? Let's find out.
|
 |
Wake 'Em Up With Spro's Wameku Shad 70
I was fortunate to spend some time on the water with the designer behind this bait, Shin Fukae recently where he
walked me through the Wameku Shad 70 design. While the bait is made with a different sound than other Spro lipless cranks, what he was most excited to show me was his strategy behind the line tie - the Wameku Shad 70 has two positions. |
 |
Missile Baits Adds a Convenient Quiver to their Arsenal of Baits
The technique we're discussing today involves sticking a specialized weight into the head of the worm, and rigging your hook somewhere along the body of that worm so it dangles, head down and tail up. That's right, it's the Neko rig and Missile Baits has a new worm to increase your chances of getting bit while fishing this technique. Here's our look at their Quiver Worm. |
 |
What Are We Going to do About RI's Man Bear Pig?
If there's one bait manufacturer that's not
afraid to have a little fun in the naming of their baits, it's Reaction
Innovations. If you're not careful about staring too long at that Tramp Stamp
while Vixen is Twerking, you're likely to get Donkey Punched with a Machete or
at least get a two handed Shiver... |
 |
Just Tie It On, Toss It Out, and Crank It UP! Megabass's Deep-X LBO II
Megabass of America recently refreshed the
Deep X along with its smaller sibling, the 100 giving the series a new shape, updated paint schemes, and a brand new internal balancing system. Here's our look at Megabass of America's latest Deep-X LBO series of cranks.

Bigfoot or Finesse? Nishine Lure Work's New Football Jig
The idea of a finesse football jig is intriguing. I've fished smaller football head jigs before, and generally speaking, finesse often just equates to small or smaller. So what makes the Nishine
Lure Works Finesse Football Jig "finesse?" It's not very obvious at first... |
 |
Megabass of America's New Baits for 2021
Earlier this year, we learned of Megabass of
America's plans to bring to North American Shores the JDM lineup of Destroyer P5
fishing rods featuring a unique, 5D graphite system to build the blanks. Never
one to shy away from new, intriguing tech, Megabass continues on that trend in
their new product introductions for 2021. |
 |
ARK Rods Is Not a Company that Plays Small Ball
ICAST may be over for this year, but that's never held manufacturers back from continuing to send us information on what they have planned for the coming year. ARK Rods, out of Port St Lucie., Florida did just that this past week with a full catalog of product they're getting ready to flood the market with in 2021.
|
 |
Hit That Hole with the Chippawa RB DD Blade by Nishine Lure Works
One of the more intriguing companies we met during ICAST was a bait manufacturer out of Ontario, Canada. Hiroshi Nishine started his bait making/designing career back in 1990 while living in Japan. Later, he honed his craft testing designs in Japan's famous Lake Biwa... |
 |
Beefier Deep Diver - The Spinbait 72
Alpha Spybait
As spybaiting has become more popular so has the number of available
options, but none is more famous than the original DUO spinbait 80, the tiny bait
that pretty much introduced American anglers to the technique eight years ago. DUO
now expands the lineup with the meatier Spinbait 72 Alpha and also gave us a sneak
peek at an even smaller prototype that will soon join the series. |
 |
Big Bite Baits Tour Toad & Suicide
Shad Buzzbaits
Buzzbaits remain one of my favorites, not just as a topwater bait, but as a bait/technique in general. Anything you can just chuck and wind is a great way to get in a rhythm and find fish. Big Bite Baits
has released their own spin on this popular bait incorporating two of their more
popular soft plastics. |
 |
Brian Schmidt Bait's Version of the RPO : The Hybrid Football Jig
With all the countless options, jigs are still
highly personal to the angler with few agreeing upon the same factors that make
a "good" jig. Brian Schmidt Baits recently introduced a twist on the classic
football that's sure to get some attention. Let's take a look. |
 |
A Collaboration Between Two of Japan's Finest, Ito & Imae - The IxI Shad
In this era of elevated
branding, partnerships between rival factions are almost unheard of - especially
in the fishing industry. So when we heard of a budding partnership between JDM
legends Katsutaka Imae of Imakatsu and Yuki Ito of Megabass, we were anxious to
see what fruits such a collaboration would bear. |
 |
No Hedge In This Bait, Just Hogs : Megabass of America's SonicSide Crank
Megabass of America's support
to win (STW) program continues to develop lures and fishing rods that are better
suited for North American fishing environments. One bait sort of missing from
their arsenal has been a flat sided crankbait... |
 |
Taking Some Time with a Jr. Clone by Skinny Bear Baits
Skinny Bear's Jr. Deep Crankbait is two inches (2") long in the
body with another inch and a quarter (1 1/4") for its bill. It comes equipped
with two #6 trebles and weighs right around one third of an ounce, or ten grams
to be more precise. |
 |
Cranking it Up with 6th Sense's Speed Glide
Sometimes,
don't you just want to tie something on, toss it out, and feverishly work it
back to you so that you can fire it back out again and again? If this is you any
percentage of the time out on the water, 6th Sense has a lure you might want to
consider. Here's our look at their Speed Glide 100. |
 |
Shake Rattle and Sting'em with Salmo's
Rattlin' Sting Jerkbait
Salmo Performance Fishing Lures out of Poland has been in the fishing lure business since the early 1990s and only recently begun spreading their influence to North American shores. Relying upon a staff of fishery
biologists and anglers alike, they bring their unique insights and experience into the business of helping us catch more fish... |
 |
The Defiant 247 and 210 Swimbaits – A One Two Knockout
Fishing big soft bodied swimbaits successfully
requires a heightened state of focus and patience, and even if you do get a
strike keeping that fish pinned typically comes with a whole new set of
challenges. To help redefine what is possible with this class of baits a new
company, Defiant, entered the swimbait scene a few seasons ago... |
 |
No Joke About It, Berkley's Powerbait Jester is a Contender
During ICAST we came across a new bait for Berkley in their Powerbait soft plastics, the four inch Jester. It's a crawdad imitator designed to move in the subtle and not so subtle ways depending on current and how much movement you try to impart to the lure through the movement of your line. We brought some in for a closer look. |
 |
Strike King Adds Depth to KVD's Jerkbait Arsenal
If there's one bass pro's name
that is synonymous with the product type in today's article, it's KVD. If he's
not throwing a squarebill crank, you can expect to see him working a jerkbait. |
 |
Getting Down and Dirty with the Swim Jig
Dirty Jigs actually makes a few different swim jigs.

jig and their No-Jack swim jig... |
