We have had a huge demand for the Stradic CI4F (Carbon Stradic) reels this year.  We are pleased to add the CI4F 3000 size to the line-up.  The 4000 will be here soon as well.

Two new colors are now available in the Double Diamond Swimbait from Optimum Baits.  Jackson Trout and Sexy Chartreuse Shad.

August 2, 2010

Add the Double-Take Frog Hook from Stanley to the line-up.  We have a feeling this will be our most popular double frog hook.  With a screw-in eye and longer shank this hook makes rigging the soft ribbit toads and similar baits easier than ever.

July 9, 2010

Added to the Saltwater Spinning line-up is the Daiwa Exceler 5000T.  All-metal construction, Digi Gear, simplified bail mechanism and dual, full-time anti reverse, at a price that makes the Exceler a true value.

Added to the line-up of Slider Heads is the Pro Classic Slider.  A heavy duty 3/0 hook with the slider head and your favorite plastic make this a winning combination.


July 8, 2010

The HitchHiker has been added to the site.  An easy way to connect trailers, pork or plastics to your hook and keep them from sliding down.

Also just added...the Owner Centering Pin Spring.  These are the same springs featured on the Owner Twistlock hooks.  Twist into the bait and the twist the bait onto the spring.  The centering pin ensures a straight entry every time.

Today has been the day for new terminal tackle.  Added to the line-up is Paycheck Baits Punch Stop.  Use this to hold your tungsten weight in place on your super line rig when punching heavy matted areas.  The cylinderical shaped stop keeps things compact and weedless.

Reaction Innovations' Sweet Beaver is a proven fish catching bait that is enduring the test of time.  We have just added the Payback and Magic Craw Red colors.  Plus new pictures of all the colors are now on the site as the originals were sub-par.  Updates to the Smallie Beaver coming soon.

We have found the Reaction Innovations' Skinny Dipper catches all kinds of game fish and is effective in many situations.  Today we added two new colors:  low blow and sexy shad.

We love the Netbait claws found on many of its baits.  Those tantalizing flowing appendages along with scent, salt and pork fat make them irresistible.  Note the following colors added to the line-up:

  • Tiny Paca Chunk - alabama craw, black blue, okeechobee craw, sapphire blue, watermelon jelly
  • Paca Chunk - alabama craw, black blue, magic craw, potomac blue, watermelon jelly

June 22, 2010

The Paca Craw and Baby Paca Craw baits have been split into two seperate products and some new colors have been added to each line.  The following new colors have been added to both the Paca Craw and Baby Paca Craw: green pumpkin pearl, key lime pie, magic craw, sprayed grass and watermelon jelly.  In addition the following colors have been added to the Baby Paca Craw line: bull frog, green pumpkin blue, hardy craw, okeechobee craw, paca melon, peanut butter and jelly and tomatoe.

June 10, 2010

The Zoom Magnum Finesse Worm has been added to the site.  First there was the Finesse Worm, now the Finesse Worm on steriods.

We are now carrying the Green Pumpkin Blue Flash color from Zoom.  This is a great looking color that combines the proven Green Pumpkin on the top, with a flashy translucent blue and blue flake bottom.  It is available in the following Zoom baits: Mag II Worm, Magnum Finesse Worm, Baby Brush Hog, Ol' Monster Worm, 6" Lizard and the Ultra-Vibe Speed Craw.

The recently introduced Paycheck Punch Skirts have been popular with the serious flippers who want to flare up their Texas rig with as a punch style jig.  Now two new colors are available: Alimony and Bub's Money Craw.

The Zoom Tiny Fluke is now on the site. Versatility is the key to this soft plastic minnow profile bait. So get creative and get the advantage.


May 28, 2010

The Sebile Magic Swimmer Soft was just recently introduced in the 130mm (5 inch) size. It comes complete with soft tungsten rigging weights giving you many rigging options and actions. We now have the 105mm (4 inch) size availble and up on the site.

Pro-Staffer Dave Shindler showed us just how effective the the Sebile Stick Shadd 90 was for catching smallmouth bass on the river.  He was using the floating version, which he kept under the surface with a constant twitch.  Now we have the exact same bait in a suspending model, the Sebile Stick Shadd 90 Suspending.  It is a little heavier at 1/2 oz. but the size and profile is excatly like the floating model.  The subtle quiver you'll get when this bait is paused will entice even spooked bass.

The store has a few Zoom items still not on the site but we are getting to them.  Today we added in the Fluke


May 26, 2010
