The C3 Baits Jobu 4" is a precision-crafted finesse worm born from decades of experience on Southern California's most pressured bass fisheries. Created by John Petroski — a.k.a. Captain Castaic — the Jobu was designed specifically for the clear, heavily fished waters of Castaic Lake and the Clearwater reservoirs, where finesse presentation is the difference between a limit and a skunk. The result is a 4" worm with an unmatched level of detail, action, and versatility that produces bites when nothing else will.

Whether you're fishing a dropshot on a deep main lake point, dragging a Carolina rig along a rocky flat, or shaking a shaky head in the shallows, the Jobu delivers the subtle, lifelike action that triggers strikes from finicky bass. Its slender profile and soft, responsive material create a natural quiver on the fall and a seductive wiggle on the retrieve that pressured fish simply can't ignore.

Key Features

• 4" finesse profile — ideal size for pressured and clear water bass
• Exceptional material softness — lifelike action on the fall, shake, and drag
• Versatile presentation — excels on dropshot, Carolina rig, shaky head, and Neko rig
• Designed by Captain Castaic for hard-pressured Southern California waters
• Hologram and natural color options to match any water clarity or light condition
• Consistent quality and attention to detail in every pack

Watch It In Action

When it takes loud surface disturbance and a big topwater to trigger trophy fish, reach for the Cotton Cordell Pencil Popper. It walks-the-dog on top, but its concave mouth also catches and throws water for maximum surface disturbance — the kind that draws up bass, stripers, redfish, and other hard-to-catch gamefish when subtler presentations won't get it done. The weighted tail aids casting distance and accuracy while adding more erratic action on the retrieve.

Available in three sizes — 4.5", 6", and 7" — with 7 color options across the lineup.

Key Features

• Walk-the-dog action — classic side-to-side topwater presentation
• Concave mouth — catches and throws water for maximum surface disturbance
• Weighted tail — improves casting distance, accuracy, and erratic action
• 3 sizes available — 4.5", 6", and 7"
• Target species — largemouth bass, striped bass, redfish, and other topwater gamefish

Tournament-tough quality and superb dependability, the Shimano Curado 300 Casting Reel is for anglers who aren’t just chasing fish but those targeting quality over quantity. Incorporating a deep 300-size spool intended for heavy-pound line and the needed capacity for extra-long casts, the Curado 300 features a long handle with wide-grip knobs to provide anglers with the extra power that’s necessary when pulling on big fish.

At the backbone of the Shimano Curado 300 lies its rigid HAGANE Body that prevents flex when that giant finally decides to commit. Available in two gear-ratio options — a standard 4.7:1 and an HG 6.6:1 — the Curado 300 allows anglers to find the right reel to match their fishing style and needs. Engineered with power in mind, the standard 4.7:1 model pulls double-duty for anglers fishing slower, methodical presentations, or when fishing with Alabama rigs or magnum crank baits.

The HG’s 6.6:1 gear ratio provides a slightly faster retrieve and is ideal for anglers aggressively working baits or for quickly picking up topwater slack. Built to fish big baits for big fish, Shimano created the Curado 300 to perform and never back down.

Features:

Jigs are not all the same and the Bass Patrol Football Jigs are in a class of their own.  They have a japanese style head and each one is hand tied for longevity and durability.  

The premium skirts and Gamakatsu hooks put this little baby up an a very tall pedestal.  The low price of these jigs does not represent the quality and you can loose them without throwing a temper tantrum.  

3/0 Black Nickel Hook

The BKK SF-Deep Assist Hooks are designed to tackle massive deep-water fish species with a fast jigging approach.

The SF DEEP comes pre-tied with BKK’s high quality hollow core cord, made of four strands interwoven into a strong and flexible assist line able to handle big fish.

Besides, the glow binding thread on the hook – protected by a transparent shrinking tube – enhances the attractiveness in deep and dark water conditions.

The assist hook features BKK’s Hand Ground sharp hook point technology, a Bright Tin coating preventing saltwater corrosion, and BKK’s signature Micro Ring Technology, providing you with a cutting-edge deep seawater jigging hook equipped to go after monster fish.

The Yamamoto Zako Swimbait was designed by Elite angler Brett Hite, and it’s his bait of choice as a  swimbait trailer when he’s slinging chatterbaits or he’s in the mood to flip.

Additionally, Brett wanted to keep the tail action tight, similar to an actual baitfish, so we designed the tail with accordion-style cuts and a flanged tail which keeps the action minimal. Hookset ratios are also improved as the tail folds in on itself when the fish bite.

Another key feature of the Zako which is exceptionally useful when rigging it as a flip bait is the center line on the top of the bait – you’ll always know you’re rigging it dead center and that means the Zako will always run true.

The Zoom Magnum Super Fluke 7" is the big-bait version of the legendary Super Fluke lineup — a 7-inch, salt-impregnated soft jerkbait built for big bass, striped bass, white seabass, calico bass, and other large gamefish that key on larger baitfish profiles. The salt impregnation ensures a solid hold on even the most tentative bites, giving you more time to set the hook. Rig it on a lead head or darter head for a subsurface jerkbait presentation, or fish it weightless for a slow-sinking, gliding baitfish action on the pause. The 7" profile matches large shad, shiners, and baitfish that big bass and saltwater gamefish target. 5 per pack in 5 colors.

Key Features

• 7" Magnum Profile — Big Bait for Big Fish — The 7-inch profile is the largest in the Super Fluke lineup, designed for targeting big bass that are keying on larger baitfish and for saltwater applications where a larger profile is needed to match the forage; the magnum size draws strikes from big largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, white seabass, and calico bass that won’t commit to a smaller soft jerkbait profile.
• Salt-Impregnated — Solid Hold on Tentative Bites — The salt impregnation throughout the plastic triggers a natural hold response that keeps fish on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook; particularly effective for tentative bites from large bass and saltwater gamefish that mouth the bait before committing.
• Lead Head & Darter Head Rigging — Subsurface Jerkbait — The primary rigging for the Magnum Fluke is a lead head or darter head; the jig head keeps the bait at a consistent depth in the water column while the 7" body produces a darting, wounded baitfish action on the jerk-and-pause retrieve; the pause is when the strike most often occurs as the bait glides and slowly sinks with a subtle shimmy.
• Freshwater & Saltwater Versatility — Effective for big largemouth and smallmouth bass in freshwater and for striped bass, white seabass, and calico bass in saltwater; the 7" profile and realistic baitfish action make it one of the most versatile big-bait soft jerkbaits available for both applications.
• 5 Per Pack — 5 Colors — Five baits per pack across 5 colors.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Big Bass — Largemouth & Smallmouth — The 7" profile draws strikes from big largemouth and smallmouth bass that are keying on larger shad, shiners, and baitfish; most effective when bass are actively feeding on large baitfish or when targeting trophy-class fish that won’t commit to a smaller profile.
• Striped Bass & White Seabass — Saltwater Applications — The Magnum Fluke’s 7" profile and realistic baitfish action make it highly effective for striped bass and white seabass in saltwater; rig on a heavier lead head (1/2–1 oz) for deeper presentations or fish weightless near the surface when fish are feeding on baitfish schools.
• Calico Bass — Structure Fishing — Effective for calico bass around kelp, rocky structure, and shallow reefs; the 7" profile matches the larger baitfish that calico bass target in saltwater environments.
• Schooling Situations — Large Baitfish Match — When bass or saltwater gamefish are schooling on large baitfish near the surface, the Magnum Fluke on a lead head or fished weightless produces a highly realistic large baitfish imitation that triggers strikes from fish keying on larger forage.

The Stick Jacket XL Casting model fits rods up to 8-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  We like these sleeves because they are easy to put on and take off, protect the rod and guides, and can be color coordinated so you know which rod is which.  The grommet at the tip allows you to hang your rod, the sleeve acts like a finger trap.  

All the covers are designed to stop short of the reel and in most cases the hook holder.  That way you can have a bait or lure tied on and it won't get caught in the sleeve.  We don't recommend putting the hook on the guides, you'll have a heck of a time getting it off if the hook gets in the sleeve.

The Ima Flit 120 is the effort of endless research and development. Ima combined Michael Murphy’s biology expertise with its own advanced technology and the Flit 120 was born.  The Flit 120, named for its erratic fleeing action and 120mm in length, was designed on the basic premise of “matching the hatch.”   The ima Jerkbait, designed with a wide back, flat sides, and a narrow stomach, is designed to closely mimic the flat-sided Herring and/or Panfish prey, common in the U.S.   The Flit 120 incorporates a realistic finish, a uniquely designed bill for ease of use and specially designed triangular chambers. This creates constant focal points of contact, maximizing vibration and sound consistency. The ima Flit 120 is the next generation jerkbait designed specifically to trigger strikes and enhance your fishing experience.

Techniques:

• Jerk Pause:  Start with slack and end with slack after each series of jerks allowing the bait to glide back and forth.
• Deadsticking: Start out with a couple cranks and jerks to get the bait to desired depth and then pause the lure with slack line.
• Burning: Reel the jerkbait in fast spurts stopping periodically. A very effective technique around shad spawns and schooling fish.
  • Length: 120mm 4.5in
    Weight: 14g, 1/2oz
    Type: Suspends 6-8ft
    Hooks: #6

Key Performance Features

• Instant Start-Up: Features Z-Man’s patented direct head-to-blade connection and a signature hex-shaped ChatterBlade, ensuring the lure starts thumping the second you turn the reel handle.

• Erratic Hunting Action: The blade-to-head angle and blunt nose design cause the bait to wander and dart randomly during retrieval, mimicking a distressed baitfish.

• Upgraded Durability: Equipped with a wire-tied 100% silicone skirt that provides more natural flare and longevity compared to standard rubber collars that can dry out and slip.

• Advanced Trailer Retention: Uses a hybrid molded split-grip and wire keeper system to lock soft plastic trailers securely in place, even when ripping through heavy grass.
