Baitsmith:
Swimbaits continued to be a hot topic at Sacramento and Baitsmith moves up from
their original 6 inch swimbait to a full sized trout with the "Magnum Trout"
swimbait. Announced at the end of last year the Magnum is just now becoming
available and sports a realistic profile all the way down to the gills.
Don Osborne of Swimbait City shows
us the new Baitsmith Magnum Trout
Don Osborne showed us the Magnum Trout which
features similar angler fins as their original bait and also features an open
mouth design. The bait dimensions are 9.5" x 3.5' x 1" and the Magnum weighs
6oz. and is capable of sinking 1.5 feet per second and is available in three
patterns (light rout, dark trout, and hatchery trout patterns). The Baitsmith
Magnum Trout is already available at
Monster Tackle and
Swimbait City.
The Magnum Trout features is
instantly recognizable as a Baitsmith bait
One of the nicest touches is are
the red gills which actually extend beyond the gill plate
Tylure:
Tylure's custom made baits were also a hit at the show. We first met Tyler at
the Bass-A-Thon where he showed us his new Kicker Trout swimbaits. Tylure's
baits were once again front and center at the Sac ISE when they were used in
demonstrations by pros at the nearby bass tank. By the time we reached the booth
Tylure was near sold out of all his baits, and he still had another day and a
half left at the show.
Tylure's newest shad is the
"natural" patterns
New for Tylure are a number of new patterns
including a "natural shad" with a green back and a "Tilapia" pattern in the
company's Kicker Sunfish lineup. We took one look at the Tilapia which is
available in surface waker and slow sinking models and thought one thing..... El
Salto!
The Tilapia Kicker Sunfish looked
like money for El Salto
