The 4" YUM F2 Wooly Hawg Craw has the bulk and lifelike appearance to fool even the seasoned bass of high-pressured impoundments. An extension of Yum's highly successful lineup of Wooly baits, the Wooly Hawg Craw gives anglers a creature bait with a twist by combining the vibration creating ribs of a wooly bait with the craw pinchers of the Yum Chunk and the twin tails of the Wooly Hawg Tail.

YUM Soft Plastics’ new F2 Salleemander features swimming action never before seen from a soft plastic lizard, and because it’s infused with F2 attractant it continuously releases the most potent attractant on the market. With four swimming-action legs and a knob at the end of the tail that creates a realistic swimming action to the entire lizard, the Salleemander pushes tremendous water

One of the hot new lure for 2011 is Rapala's Clackin' Minnow. Like the Clackin' Crank, the Clackin' Minnow features the same unique Clackin' Cadence chamber but in a jerkbait / ripbait form factor. The Clackin' Minnow is sort of a cross between the X-Rap and the Clackin' Rap. It's got great side to side erratic action and a very unique sound among other jerkbaits. The sound is somewhere

The Hydra has a solid salt impregnated body with 24 individually molded tentacles. By molding the tentacles with the balls on the end, it forces them to open with the slightest water movement causing the tentacles to dance around. The Hydra can be fished Texas rigged, Carolina rigged, weight-less, Neko rigged, on a football head, as a Jig trailer, or any way you want. My favorite way to fish

Floroclear is another addition to P-Line's family of premium lines. With P-Line Floroclear's flourocarbon coating the line is virtually invisible once it enters the water. This gives anglers the advantage of a more stealthy presentation, which will guarantee more strikes and hookups. With a special silicone treatment, Floroclear has reduced memory and increased castability. From small finesse

These are no ordinary reels. Like the name infers, these baitcast reels excel. They go far beyond the call of duty. And while they're offered at a price the average angler can afford, there's nothing average about them. These stand-outs deliver a level of smoothness, power and performance that's unmatched by any other reels in their class. These reels also has a Fast Spool Change Locking,

There are so many choices these days in fishing lines. There's a plethora of mono, hybrid, fused and then the braided line. There are fishing lines for every applications and situations. PowerPro to me, is the best when it comes to braided lines. PowerPro braid is strong, and yet is fairly limp compare to the other brands. It comes in a wide range of pound tests and in 3 different colors. Braided

The Sidewinder's soft ringed body sinks slower and with a life-like movement that bass can't stand. Multiple rings surround the soft bait from tip to tail, trapping air as it's cast and giving it slight bouyancy. As it falls, the tiny air bubbles escape allowing the bait to sink slowly which maximizes its visibility in the strike zone. What makes the Sidewinder so effective is the air chamber

The latest new rod from Abu Garcia... the Vendetta. I had recently purchased a Revo STX reel and was looking for a rod that would match up well with it. While surfing the Bass Pro Shop website in search of that perfect rod, I ran in to the new Vendetta rods by Abu Garcia. After a few research I come to find out that these rods are factory balanced for the Abu Garcia Revos and the Soron spinning

Source: James NiggemeyerBassmaster Elite Series ProThe key to finding and catching these shallow fall bass is to cover lots of water, and a lipless crankbait is a great tool to do just that. This is a great time to tie on a 1/2-ounce Red Eye Shad in chrome Sexy Shad and get cranking. It's a great baitfish imitator in clear water, but if the water's stained or cloudy, use the old standby, Sexy

The Fat Ika from Gary Yamamoto is a very effective lure for many bass anglers. Though it’s been used by many of the top tournament anglers for sometime, the Fat Ika is still a bait unknown to many. Because the Fat Ika looks like a tube bait, many anglers start off rigging it as such. However, it is only when rigged backward that the Fat Ika discovers it’s greatest potential - as a penetrating

A few years ago, I went out fishing at a local lake with a friend who urged me to try out this new lure, it was a soft plastic cigar shaped worm by Gary Yamamoto called a Senko. It immediately became one of my go to lures and it still remains to this day.There are many ways to fish the Senko: Texas rig, Carolina rig, Wacky, Dropshot, etc. But my favorite way to fish the Senko is on a Texas rig

I first purchased the Rage Tail Toad earlier this year and used it for the first time at a local lake here in southern California. Tied it on a 5/0 EWG hook on braided line. I could not believe what I saw on the first cast, I never thought that a soft plastic could be so much like a buzz bait, this made all kinds of noises and splashes. I could not believe how much water movement and noise this

A new spin on a Zoom classic, the 7-inch soft plastic Magnum Super Fluke is designed to catch bigger fish than the traditional 5-inch model. Whereas the 5-inch Zoom Super Fluke pairs nicely with medium spinning and casting gear with 10- to 14-pound test line and a 4/0 to 5/0 hook, the new, beefier Fluke needs to fished with medium-heavy tackle, 15- to 20-pound line and a 6/0 to 12/0 hook.
