Introduction: This ICAST SPRO teamed up once again with KGB to expand their line of swimbait gear, unveiling a trio of new products designed specifically for big bait anglers. From a cleverly designed KGB multi-rig to a downsized glide and a purpose-built reel, this year's releases continue SPRO's push into the swimbait segment.

Three KGB Chad Shads in one, meet the new K-Rig

SPRO KGB K-Rig -Triple Threat: With the thought process that if one baitfish looks good, a small pod looks even better enter the SPRO KGB K-Rig, a unique big bait featuring three KGB Swimbaits swimming in perfect unison. The setup mimics a tight bait ball, designed to trigger aggressive feeding responses from big bass on the hunt to pick apart a school.

There are some new flashy patterns available in traditional SPRO x KGB Chad Shads...

The K-Rig was probably the craziest, yet coolest, looking swimbait at the show. SPRO didn't just slap three baits on a rig and call it done - this unique setup gives anglers a brand new profile and presentation while preserving the proven action and lifelike swim that KGB swimbaits are known for. Each K-Rig is dressed in one of SPRO's three top-producing color patterns and comes armed with two size 1 Gamakatsu Nano Alpha-coated trebles. Each K-Rig will retail for $129 and be available later this season.

SPRO KGB Lil Guy - Big Moves, Small Package: When a cold front rolls in or fishing pressure pushes fish deep into negative moods, swimbait fans often reach for something just a little more subtle to drive the bite. SPRO's new KGB Lil Guy is designed to answer that call. This downsized 120mm version draws inspiration from the proven KGB Chad Shad 180 but compresses the profile into a more finesse-friendly package.

Immediately recognizable, just smaller, the SPRO x KGB Lil Guy is a more finesse oriented glide

This bite-sized glide bait retains everything anglers love about the bigger version: a two-segment jointed body for that signature, smooth side to side glide, a brush tail, and swivel hook hangers to help anglers keep fish pinned. It's designed to match the hatch when bass key in on smaller forage or when conditions demand a stealthier presentation. The Spro x KGB Lil Guy will retail for $54.99 and will be available in a number of popular baitfish patterns.

SPRO KGB 300 Elite MG: A Reel for the Dedicated: Rounding out the new launches is SPRO's first serious swing at a dedicated swimbait reel: the KGB 300 Elite MG. This purpose-built baitcaster is designed to pair with heavier line while still delivering the feel and casting performance that big-bait anglers demand for launching their glides and wakes.

SPRO and KGB launch a new reel for big bait anglers

The Elite 300 features a magnesium frame

In a surprise move The SPRO KGB 300 reel is built around a lightweight magnesium frame, versus aluminum, to help the reel balance out with swimbait rods and keep fatigue at bay during long sessions, while still providing the balance and sensitivity needed to feel subtle swimbait bites. The final weight of the reel has not yet been announced but considering the size of the reel it felt light in hand.

The reel will be available in 7.3:1 and 8.1:1 gear ratios

Aluminum oversized handle and star drag

The new 300 Elite reel also features an externally adjustable cast control system and the reel also features an oversized handle and large barrel knobs with a tire style texture for more grip and leverage.
The new SPRO KGB 300 will be available later this season in two gear ratios, 7.3:1 and 8.1:1, and retail for $319.00.
