Introduction: Vicious fishing has been making a lot of noise of late with their popular series of affordable fishing lines. Last year, they dove into the hard bait market with a standard array of cranks, jerkbaits, and frogs. This year, they're upping the ante with these baits with the introduction of their Boyd Duckett Signature Series Baits.

Introducing the Vicious Boyd Duckett series BD12

Introducing the Vicious Boyd Duckett series BD 1.5

BD Crankbaits: From shallow running square bills (BD 1.5 & BD 2.5) to medium diving cranks (BD12 - dives to 12 feet) the new Boyd Duckett Signature series crankbaits from Vicious cover a good range of depths.

Introducing the Vicious Boyd Duckett series BD Jerkbait

BD Jerkbait: There will be two sizes in the Vicious BD Jerkbait series - 85mm and 115mm. Once again targeting the most popular lengths and depths. These baits will be available in six different colors.

Introducing the Vicious Boyd Duckett series BD Topwater

All Vicious Boyd Duckett baits feature a proprietary cutting point hook

BD Topwater: The Boyd Duckett Topwater bait is a pencil popping bait made in the 120mm size. It's designed to be subtle in presentation and easy to walk. There will be four colors in this initial offering.

Introducing the Vicious Boyd Duckett seriesBD Popper

BD Popper: Every bait series needs a standard popper as well, and the BD series popper will be available in two sizes - 60mm and 70mm and featured a feathered rear treble, and 4 colors to start.

Introducing the Vicious Boyd Duckett series BD Frog

BD Frog: The new BD Frog follows along the lines of the more recent frog designs with belly in the shape of a boat hull making the bait easier to walk. There will be six colors available initially.

Introducing the Vicious Boyd Duckett series BD Spinnerbait

Hand tied skirts!

The Shakin Shad Jerky J Combo is a new offering from Castaic Soft Plastics coming this fall.

Castaic Shakin Shad Jerky J Combo: Vicious baits is actually distributed by the same parent company that owns Castaic soft plastics. Richard Quade showed us a bonus bait that did really well on the FLW circuit this past spring in the hands of Jason Lambert. It is the Shakin' Shad Jerky J combo - a pairing of the company's soft shad jerkbait together with a head and blade combination that gives off a similar action to a vibration jig only with a big, soft plastic trailer Castaic Soft Plastics will be selling this combo fully rigged with one spare body for $6.99 in the very near future.

Conclusion: Boyd Duckett's most recent success out on the trail of course was in the 2012 Elite Series Championship on Oneida Lake, but before that he was the 2007 Bassmaster Classic winner on Lay Lake, Alabama so he knows a thing or two about baits. This complete lineup of hardbaits produced by Vicious Fishing and bearing his name represent what he uses day in and day out on the tournament trail and promise to put a lot of fish in the boat for anglers all around. And what's best is retail is set to be only $6.99 across the board for all baits.
