Latest Articles

	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. Pro Angler Clausen showed us two of his favorites, Dirty Jigs's standard swim jig and their No-Jack swim jig...
	Underrated Over Performer, the Jackall Rhythm Wave In the extremely crowded paddletail market there are already a lot of great options to select from, but Jackall believes that the Rhythm Wave can stand up to the competition. Anglers that have given the Rhythm Wave a shot swear by it, while others often dismiss the bait as just another "me-too" paddletail...
	Knock Knock Knocking on Bassie's Door - The Megabass I-Jack I usuaully prefer my wake baits about six to eight inches long with a joint or two in the body, and a big, square diving bill, so it took a while for me to tie this bait on, toss it out and ... well, you get the idea. Once I finally did give this bait a try, I felt silly for not throwing it sooner.
	Is Strike King's New Swimmer All The Rage? With each passing year it seems more and more paddletail swimbait options hit the market and more and more anglers use them to tip their spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, 'bama rigs, vibrating jigs, underspins, etc. This bait type is taking over the trailer market but they're also being used as search baits.
	Not Really Defying Gravity, But Better For the Environment : Catch Outdoors's Z.G.H.A. Underspin Today, we take a look at an intriguing interpretation of the underspin by Catch Outdoors. Introducing their Zero Gravity Hybrid Airdrop Underspin.
