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?
|
 |
ProducTTPreview :
Got'Em Coach Real Gillz Swimbaits Bring the Detail to Design
First to be revealed are the new 6” Snack
Size Real Gillz which are now becoming available in a wide range of patterns. We
take a preliminary look at these new-fangled baits as we kickoff our in-depth
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. |
 |
Megabass Does it Again with the Vision OneTen FX and More for 2013
Just when I thought it was safe to start writing up the Vision OneTen Plus 1 and Vision OneTen Magnum, Megabass decides to let lose yet another version of their top selling jerkbait. We saw this bait at ICAST
2012, but it wasn't quite ready yet, but we recently received a shipment of
these baits and had a chance for a brief test out on the water. |
 |
Roman Made Prepares to Introduce New Patterns
Designed Specifically for the US Market
While there are a lot of outstanding swimbaits made right
here in the U.S. there is also an increasing number of JDM baits now making
their way to U.S. shores. One such brand that we have fished with success is
Roman Made which comes to us from the shores of Lake Biwa, Japan. |
 |
Zerek’s
Sabre Dance Jerkbait Cuts through the Water and Price Barriers
Where did Zerek come from? This company comes from Asia and is a
relative newcomer to the U.S. market offering a selection of hardbaits at
aggressive prices. All of the baits share similar characteristics and look like
they are cut from the same cloth. Our first foray into this brand’s offerings is
the Sabre Dance jerkbait which is available for under five dollars. |
 |
Creature Fever : D&M’s
Flippin Craw, Power and Finesse?
D&M Custom Baits offers anglers a complete range
of lures including blades, jigs, skirts, swim jigs and just about every type of
plastic known to bassers. We could spend an entire month just writing about
D&M’s baits alone but to kick things off we look at one of our favorites, which
we utilize right here in our own backyard, the Flippin Craw. |
 |
Creature Fever : Getting Sweet and Kinky with Reaction Innovations
How many times have you heard
someone say they were using a "beaver-type" bait? Then, last year Reaction
Innovations decided to go all Creature Fever on their popular bait by adding
some appendages and dubbing a new interpretation - the Kinky Beaver. |
 |
Creature Fever : Shhhh.. Can You Keep a Secret?
The Gancraft Jointed Claw Shape S is perhaps the
ultimate in unimpressive when you see it on the store shelf. Honestly, you look
at this thing with the single joint in the middle, slit belly hook cavity, and
standard fish tail and think, "this isn't going to swim, where's the paddletail?" |
 |
The
“Prologue” to this Worm’s Story Starts with Choices
Roman Made is not just about swimbaits alone and the
company’s aggressive looking Prologue worms are designed with a similar
attention to detail and share the same goal, to catch big fish. Once only
available in Japan these baits are now coming to the U.S. |
 |
Kickin' It with Evergreen's Frog Bait
During ICAST 2010, Morizo Shimizu, pro-staff and lure designer for Evergreen International showed us a bait of which he was very proud - the Kicker Frog. It features a more compact body and a single, heavy wire hook. Following the show, we found a way to get our hands on some of these baits... |
 |
Creature Fever: The Yamamoto Hula
Swimmer is a short skirted enticer!
Have you ever
fished a Swim Senko but wished it had a little something extra to get noticed or
entice a strike? The Hula Swimmer offers just that, featuring a 4.5” Swim Senko
style body and a 12 point hula-skirt head. |
 |
Creature Feature : The Alien Meets Doctor Octopus!
We've slowly been making our way through their
offerings but are finally ready now to share with you our thoughts on perhaps
our favorite product of theirs. Finally, here's our look at Damiki's Monster
Miki.

 |
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie,
Your Lures Hook Me…
It isn’t a surprise that Ish wanted to create a new squarebill, as the
lures can be downright deadly here in the Delta where he grew up. But the real
question is if there is enough room to further tweak the design of this
established formula to create a “new” bait. Time to take a closer look at the
Biggie Smalls and Biggie Poppa. |
