Small in Size, Big in Stature, Bull Shad Swimbats' New Balsa Bull!
Thanks to Bull Shad Swimbaits, this bait is back,
readily available and from what we understand, is as close to the original as it
gets. Here now is our look at the reincarnated Ichiban Minnow/Balsa Pro, known
today as Bull Shad Swimbait's Balsa Bull. |
 |
Glide Week : Art in Action, the Roman Made Mother
The Roman Made Mother is a hand carved bait made out of a
specialty type and cut of wood in Japan. The finishes on these baits are super
clean yet relatively simple for a bait painted in Japan. |
 |
Glide Week : The Perfect Sliding Storm
The Slideswimmer 250 is a ten inch bait weighing six and a
half ounces. It shares the same shape and profile as the manufacturer's Silent
Killer bait including the unique rubberized coating around the entire bait.
|
 |
Glide Week : Shhh... Don't Tell Anyone But Have You...
Ask yourself, how willing are you to share your secret fishing
hole or bait with that person in the next boat? No way, right? I cannot tell you
how many times we've received reports on products or hot bites preceded by the
statement, "Don't tell anyone but..." |
 |
Glide Week : ABT Lures Squeezes In With the Suicide
A week dedicated to Glide Baits would not be complete without the announcement of a new, up and coming bait. Add that together with the knowledge that the bait we're talking about today is built in California and you have the makings of some good 'ole California Big Bait magic. Introducing ABT Lures's Suicide Glide. |
 |
Glide Week : The Lumbering Limberlamber
If River2Sea's S-Waver is the
popular glide bait choice amongst tournament anglers, you can be certain very
few of these same anglers, if any, have the Megabass's current interpretation of
this bait type. Why? Well despite being roughly the same size as the 178
S-Waver, this bait costs about four times as much. |
 |
Glide Week : Riding the S-Wave!
Are you familiar with two piece glide baits? We've
reviewed several here on TackleTour one of the most recent being the very
popular RomanMade Negotiator. The popularity of this bait is pretty significant.
What you may or may not realize is, there are several other, somewhat similar
baits out on the market - and more hitting store shelves every other month! |
 |
Jackall takes aim at Spybaiting with the
iProp 75
Jackall is working on a range of new baits leading up to ICAST
and this Bassmater Classic the team is introducing a new prop bait created
specifically for this ultra-finesse technique. The Jackall iProp is a sinking
double propped spybait that is designed to target suspending fish in clear water
conditions.
|
 |
Beyond
Spybaiting: DUO Realis Jerkbait 100SP
I
can sum these baits up in just one word: beautiful. DUO is known for crafting
some of the finest baits around, and from a looks standpoint these will not
disappoint even the pickiest of anglers. Not only are the colors both vibrant
and eye-catching, there are a whopping 16 to choose from. |
 |
Thru and Thru, Savage Gear's New Trout Inspires Confidence
The Savage Gear Line Thru trout is an eight
inch, soft bodied bait with three body sections. It is built in size,
proportion, and detail just like a three piece hard bodied bait. This includes
the tail which is not a paddle or wedge or any other type of swimming tail
design. |
|
 |
 |
Silent
but Deadly: The Molix SB Crank 55 Silent
Square bills have
come a long way, and now you'll find many different configurations and colors
available from a variety of manufacturers. Based in Italy, Molix has refined the square bill with their
exciting new SB Crank 55 Silent model. Will this new bait from the land of
exotic sports cars prove to be something special? |
 |
The Easy Cranking, Deep Diving Megabass Deep Six
We’ve been fishing the Megabass Deep Six crank on and off for the better part of a year but have been waiting for a consistent, deep crank bite to fish them more extensively. That bite materialized this past week on Clear Lake. |
 |
FW Installment #4 : A Frog by Any Other Color is Still a Frog
We conclude Frog Week on TackleTour with a discussion of baits that look like traditional hollow bodied frog baits, but are built with different purposes in mind. What differences? Well, how about a hollow bodied frog you can crank? Or how about a bait that looks like a hollow bodied frog but instead of being soft, it’s hard? Or maybe one that doesn’t look like a frog at all... |
 |
FW Installment #3 : What's a Shrog?
A third classification we have for topwater frog baits are for those that look somewhat like frogs but are called something else entirely by their manufacturers. These are the topwater hollow bellied shad baits! Granted one of the baits we're reviewing today does look like a shad, but the other more closely resembles a traditional frog save for a couple of tweaks. Let's take a look! |
 |
FW Installment #2 : Twitch, Pop, n Lockin' Frogs
The second category of frogs
we're going to investigate is perhaps the fastest growing niche. Just about
every frog bait manufacturer that offers a standard frog now offers a popping
frog to go along with their lineup. Do you have any in your collection? |
 |
Frog Week (FW) Installment #1 : Standard Designs with a Twist
We're hard pressed to think of another form of angling where there are more specialized techniques to catch your prey than when in pursuit of freshwater bass. There's no doubt all the different techniques and all the different gear to support those techniques is part of the allure. One of the absolute favorite ways for any bass angler to catch thee fish is on topwater. |
 |
LureFans USA Breathing New Life into Saturated Market
Every year products emerge from existing and new manufacturers alike. Thanks to ICAST, Summers here at TackleTour feature a
deluge of new product both on our site and at our office. Every now and then, a package shows up with product we can't wait to share. Today is one such day. Introducing a new to the USA kid on the block Lurefans.

Creature Fever: The Zoom Super
Hog Is A New Take On An Old Favorite
Even though new creations seem to pop up every year, a few designs have
stood the test of time. One such bait is the Zoom Brush Hog. When this offering
hit the market many years back, it quickly became the latest “gotta have it”
bait. |
 |
Careful, It Might Bite You, Evergreen's One's Bug
Do you recall your reaction when you first saw the
premium Rico Popper or Don Iovino's Splash-It? How about Megabass's PopMax? Well
today we're here to look at another premium popper. Introducing the One's Bug
from Evergreen International. |
 |
Creature Fever : It Really Is "Da-Bomb"!
It came as a surprise to us when at the beginning
of 2012 Pro Angler John Crews launched his new softbait company, Missile Baits -
a debut that was punctuated by Ish Monroe's win at Lake Okechobee last year
using one of his baits. Here now is our look at that product, the Missile Bait's
DBomb! |
 |
Creating a Buzz with the Big Bite Baits Buzzing Warmouth
Building off the
success of the Dean Rojas Warmouth, the new Buzzing Warmouth utilizes a similar
profile but promises to bring plenty of action in both subsurface and topwater
applications. Is this bait worth the money, or is it one that will wind up
sitting at the bottom of your tackle bag? |
 |
Roman Made's Trick to Get Our Enthusiast Meter Moving
There used to be several key aspects of a
product that would get that enthusiast meter boiling like hand made or even
better, hand carved, wooden baits; naturally, high quality products from Japan;
and with our headquarters in California, how can we resist the big bait craze? |
 |
This Roboworm is PHAT!
The Company manufactures a wide range of robotic poured worms, hence the
name, and their baits duplicate the hand pour process but with an automated
system. Over the years the company has branched out to create new variations and
patterns of old favorites and as techniques have changed so have their
offerings. We take a look at a return to an “old school” design with our review
of the Fat Worm Series. |
 |
Shallow
Crankin' With the ABT X-2 Square Bill
Based in
California, ABT lures' X-2 series of shallow square bills are new offerings in
the crankbait world. Based on visuals alone, these baits look clean and
attractive. Will they prove to be a standout, or just get lost in the jumble of
other products out there? Let's find out, shall we? |
 |
Simple
yet Deadly Effective, the Savage Gear Sandeel
The company features a wide array of lures, and product development is
driven by Mads Grosell, an innovative angler who has long studied and targeted
predatory fish and has created an assortment of lures that are designed to be
effective even when the bite is tough. One of his most popular creations is the
Savage Gear Sandeel... |
 |
Product Insight: Megabass's Blueprint of Success - The Vision OneTen
For the last several years, each time we sit down
to type up our thoughts on the latest incarnation of Megabass's flagship
hardbait, the Vision OneTen, the manufacturer debuts a new version of the bait.
Given how popular and effective the original bait is, how many versions of the
Vision OneTen do we need or even want and are there really any differences?

tests. |
 |
Creature Fever: Getting serious with the Power Team Diesel
Craw
While
certainly not one of the largest bait manufacturers out there, relative newcomer
Power Team Lures makes a modest range of quality plastics from drop shot worms
to bulky creature baits. Keeping up with our ongoing Creature Fever theme,
we decided to get our hands on some of their premier craw imitations, the 4”
Diesel craws. |
 |
Double Trouble: River2Sea Twin Vibe 65
River2Sea always offers
products with a variety of great color schemes, and many items are very
reasonably priced. One of their hard baits in the freshwater arena is the
Twin Vibe 65, a compact lipless crankbait. Exhibiting several noteworthy features, it was time to hit
the water and put them to work. |
 |
Creature Fever: Causing Havoc with the Berkley Hawk Hawg
Berkley is by far one of the most prominent names in fishing.
Boasting an enormous product lineup and impressive array of sponsored pros, it's
hard not to notice the familiar red Berkley logo from time to time. Taking
the input from leading Bass pros, their Havoc lineup of soft baits are designed
to professional standards and specifications. |
 |
Creature Fever: One Strong Crawfish, the Z-Man Flappin Crawz
I’ve been fishing Z-Man baits for years and none more so than the original
ChatterBait which has the profile of a jig and the flash of a spinnerbait. While
the company is probably best known for this iconic bait they have extended their
offerings with their ultra durable line of ElaZtech plastics and offer baits
designed to target both fresh and saltwater species. |
