The Leader That Fights Back

When finicky tuna and billfish are refusing everything else, the Aftco Saiko Pro Fluorocarbon Leader Line is the edge serious anglers reach for. Made from a 100% custom formula fluorocarbon manufactured in Japan, Saiko Pro is engineered for real-world performance — not just lab numbers. It's supple enough to tie clean knots, hard enough to resist the roughest structure, and strong enough to hold when it matters most.

Built for the Talica Series — and Every Big-Game Setup

Saiko Pro delivers industry-leading tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and break energy ratings across the full range from 12lb to 300lb test. Whether you're rigging up for yellowfin, white seabass, or blue marlin, there's a Saiko Pro size built for the job. The 12–80lb range is available in both Clear and Pink; 100–300lb is available in Clear.

Why Leader Material Actually Matters

Most fluorocarbon weakens after contact with structure, teeth, or gill plates. Saiko Pro is up to 20% stronger after abrasion than leading competitors — a critical difference when you're fighting a fish that's already tested your gear. The knot and crimp strength is unmatched, and the AFTCO SecureSpool™ system keeps your leader organized and tangle-free between trips.

Clear vs. Pink — Which to Choose

Clear is the go-to for most conditions — low visibility, high clarity water, and pressured fish. Pink shines in cloudy or stained water where it can actually reduce visibility at depth. Many offshore anglers keep both on hand and match to conditions.

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting tuna, billfish, or inshore species that leader-shy
• You need a leader that holds up to structure, teeth, and repeated use
• You want a premium Japan-made fluorocarbon with proven offshore credentials
• You're rigging with crimps or tying direct — Saiko Pro handles both

Best Fishing Techniques

• Chunking and live bait for tuna and billfish
• Slow-pitch and vertical jigging with fluorocarbon top shots
• Inshore live bait rigs for white seabass and yellowtail
• Kite fishing and flat-line trolling leaders

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match your leader to your main line: For braid-to-fluoro connections, use an FG knot or PR bobbin knot for maximum strength and a slim profile through the guides.
• Go heavier in structure: When fishing near kelp, rocks, or the boat hull, bump up one or two line classes — the abrasion resistance will pay off.
• Pink in the chop: On overcast days or in green water, the pink color diffuses at depth and can actually be less visible to fish than clear. Don't overlook it.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Clear and Pink versions?
Both are the same custom fluorocarbon formula. Pink is designed for cloudy or stained water conditions where it becomes less visible at depth. Clear is the standard choice for most offshore and inshore applications.

Can I use Saiko Pro with crimps?
Yes — AFTCO specifically engineered Saiko Pro for both knotted and crimped applications. The knot and crimp strength is one of its standout features, making it ideal for big-game rigs in the 100–300lb range.

Is Saiko Pro suitable for inshore fishing?
Absolutely. While it's built for offshore performance, the 12–30lb range is excellent for white seabass, yellowtail, and other inshore species that are leader-shy in clear water.

Walks, Pops, Spits — All in One Bait

The Ima Big Stick is the result of years of development by Ima's Japanese engineering team and professional angler Randy Pringle — and it shows. At 7 inches and 1.75 oz, the Big Stick is a magnum topwater that can spit like a popper, walk like the hardest-sashaying walking bait on the market, and do it all without requiring expert technique or specialized gear. It's designed for conventional tackle, starts working the moment you begin your retrieve, and is built to handle anything from trophy bass to stripers, pike, and musky.

Eight Sound Chambers. One Unforgettable Presentation.

The Big Stick features eight individual sound chambers that create a massive ruckus at fast retrieve speeds — and can be dialed back to a subtle pop along the surface when fish are finicky. The rear-weighted design kicks the action into gear immediately on the retrieve and dramatically increases casting distance and accuracy. A unique head design pushes significant volumes of water on every direction change, creating a surface disturbance that draws fish from a distance.

Built for Trophy Fish, Not Just Bass

Most big topwaters are built for one species. The Big Stick is built for all of them. Wire-through construction, heavier split rings, and Owner ST-66 #1/0 treble hooks mean this bait can handle the shock of a 50 lb striper, a 40-inch musky, or a 10 lb largemouth without failing. The durable finish and premium hardware make it a legitimate multi-species weapon for both freshwater and saltwater applications.

Standard vs. Silent — Two Presentations, One Profile

The Big Stick comes in both a standard (rattling) version and a silent version. The standard model's eight sound chambers create aggressive noise and vibration — ideal for stained water, choppy conditions, and aggressive fish. The silent version relies entirely on its surface action and profile — perfect for clear water, pressured fish, and situations where noise spooks rather than attracts.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a big topwater that walks AND pops without switching baits
• You're targeting trophy largemouth, stripers, pike, or musky on the surface
• You need a topwater that casts far and starts working immediately on the retrieve
• You fish both freshwater and saltwater and want one bait that handles both
• You want a premium Japanese-engineered topwater with tournament-proven action

Best Retrieve Techniques

• Walk the Dog: Rhythmic rod-tip twitches produce a wide, aggressive side-to-side walk — the rear-weighted design makes this effortless
• Popping: Short, sharp twitches to spit water and pause — the unique head design creates a loud, aggressive pop
• Fast Burn: High-speed retrieve to activate all eight sound chambers and create maximum surface commotion
• Subtle Pop: Slow, gentle twitches for a quiet, subtle presentation — or use the silent version for pressured fish

Best Conditions

• Open water, main lake points, and offshore structure where big fish are feeding on top
• Early morning and late evening low-light periods
• Post-spawn through fall when trophy fish are chasing large baitfish
• Saltwater flats, jetties, and inshore structure for stripers and other coastal species
• Any situation where a large, aggressive topwater presentation is needed

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass, Pike, Musky, Various Saltwater Species
• Techniques: Walk-the-Dog, Popping, Fast Burn, Subtle Pop
• Conditions: Open water, low-light, post-spawn, saltwater inshore, trophy fish situations

Key Features

• Designed by Ima Japan engineering team and Randy Pringle
• 7 in body length, 1.75 oz (50g) weight
• Eight individual sound chambers — loud at speed, subtle when needed
• Rear-weighted design for immediate action and long casting distance
• Unique head design pushes significant water volume on every direction change
• Wire-through construction for maximum durability
• Heavier split rings and Owner ST-66 #1/0 treble hooks
• Available in standard (rattling) and silent versions
• 16 color patterns for freshwater and saltwater applications

Standard (Rattling) Versions

Silent Versions

Tackle Express Tips

• Go Heavy on Tackle: The Big Stick is 1.75 oz — use a heavy or extra-heavy 7'6"–8' casting rod with a high-speed reel (7:1+) and 50–65 lb braid. The heavy setup handles the weight, maximizes casting distance, and gives you the power to drive Owner ST-66 hooks home on big fish.
• Standard vs. Silent by Water Clarity: Use the standard rattling version in stained water, choppy conditions, or when fish are aggressive. Switch to the silent version in clear water, calm conditions, or when fish are spooking off noise.
• Match Color to Forage: Sardine, Mackerel, and Ghost Blue Back are go-to saltwater and striper colors. Bone and Red Head are classic low-light and clear-water patterns. Trout and Hatchery Trout shine in trout-forage fisheries and tailwaters.

FAQ

What's the difference between the standard and silent Big Stick?
The standard version has eight internal sound chambers that create noise and vibration at all retrieve speeds. The silent version has no rattle and relies entirely on its surface action and profile — ideal for clear water or pressured fish that spook off noisy baits.

What rod and line setup works best?
A heavy or extra-heavy 7'6"–8' casting rod with a high-speed reel and 50–65 lb braided line is ideal. The 1.75 oz weight needs backbone to cast and the braid gives you the sensitivity to feel the action and the power to set hooks on big fish.

Can the Ima Big Stick be used in saltwater?
Absolutely. The wire-through construction, heavier split rings, and Owner ST-66 hooks are built to handle saltwater species including striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore predators. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each saltwater use.

The Deps Buster K is a one-of-a-kind hollow body frog straight from Japan, engineered to deliver explosive topwater action in the thickest cover. Its innovative mouth design spits and splashes as it moves up, over, and around vegetation, creating irresistible surface commotion that triggers violent strikes from bass hiding in heavy cover.

Equipped with a moving weight transfer system and internal rattle, the Buster K aids both in casting distance and fish attraction. The weight transfer system allows for longer, more accurate casts, while the rattle adds an auditory trigger that draws bass from a distance. The unique out-barb hook design ensures the bait lasts longer because the barbs won't puncture the hollow body, preventing water intrusion that ruins traditional frogs.

The incredibly realistic rabbit fur legs create lifelike movement in the water that bass can't resist. Combined with the spitting mouth action and premium Japanese construction, the Deps Buster K delivers the performance serious frog fishermen demand when fishing lily pads, matted vegetation, slop, and heavy cover where other lures can't go.

Key Features:

• Spitting Mouth Design: Creates splashing and spitting action as it moves through cover
• Real Rabbit Fur Legs: Incredibly realistic movement in the water triggers strikes
• Weight Transfer System: Improves casting distance and accuracy
• Internal Rattle: Adds auditory attraction to draw bass from a distance

Why Buy the Yamamoto 4" Senko?

If there's been one lure that changed bass fishing forever, it's the Yamamoto 4" Senko. What looks like a simple, thick plastic worm is actually a masterpiece of soft plastic engineering — the large amount of salt impregnated into the body gives it a fall rate and horizontal action that no other bait can replicate. Rigged weightless, the Senko falls horizontally with a seductive side-to-side tail action that drives fish mad. It works on virtually every rig, in every condition, for every bass species — and it's become one of the most trusted baits in the world for a reason. 10 per pack, 21 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A 4-inch salt-impregnated stickbait that falls horizontally with a seductive side-to-side action when rigged weightless — the most versatile soft plastic ever made, equally deadly on wacky rig, Texas rig, Neko rig, drop shot, and Ned rig across all bass species and conditions.

Problem It Solves

Most soft plastics require specific techniques or conditions to produce. The Yamamoto Senko is the opposite — its salt-impregnated body produces a natural, horizontal fall with side-to-side action at any retrieve speed, on any rig, in any water clarity. It's the bait you reach for when nothing else is working, and the one you never leave home without.

Advantages

• ✅ Salt-impregnated formula — horizontal fall with seductive side-to-side action that no other bait replicates
• ✅ The most versatile soft plastic ever made — wacky rig, Texas rig, Neko rig, drop shot, Ned rig, Carolina rig
• ✅ Works in any condition — clear water, stained water, any depth, any season
• ✅ Proven worldwide — trusted by tournament pros and weekend anglers alike
• ✅ 21 proven color options — the most comprehensive color selection in the Senko lineup
• ✅ 10 per pack
• ⚠️ Soft formula — bait life is shorter than harder plastics; use an O-ring on wacky rig to extend bait life 3–5x

When to Choose It

The 4" Senko is the right choice in virtually every situation — it's the most versatile size in the lineup, large enough to attract quality fish and compact enough for finesse presentations. Choose the 4" as your starting point in any condition and adjust to the 3" (finesse/clear water) or 5" (big bass/heavy cover) based on what the fish tell you.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Wacky Rig — hook through the center with a #1/0 or #2/0 wacky hook; use an O-ring to extend bait life; the horizontal fall with symmetrical side-to-side wiggle is the most iconic Senko presentation and one of the most effective bass techniques ever developed
• Weightless Texas Rig — rig on a 3/0–4/0 EWG hook; the salt-impregnated body falls horizontally with a side-to-side tail action; deadly through sparse cover and open water
• Neko Rig — insert a 1/32–1/16 oz nail weight into the nose; hook through the center with a #1 wacky hook; the head-down fall and side-to-side action triggers strikes from finicky fish
• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–24" above the weight; the side-to-side action quivers naturally in the strike zone; excellent for FFS targeting suspended fish
• Ned Rig — thread onto a 1/16–3/32 oz Ned head; the Senko's action on the pause is irresistible on hard bottom
• Carolina Rig — thread onto a 3/0–4/0 hook, 18–24" behind a 1/2–3/4 oz Carolina weight; drag slowly along the bottom for a natural, swimming presentation

Best Conditions

• Year-round — the Senko produces in any water temperature and clarity
• Clear to stained water — natural colors for clear, reaction colors for stained
• Any depth — equally effective shallow on wacky rig and deep on drop shot and Carolina rig
• Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days when nothing else works
• Heavily pressured tournament lakes where finesse presentations are required

Best For

Key Features

• Salt-impregnated formula — horizontal fall with seductive side-to-side action
• 4" versatile profile — the most versatile size in the Senko lineup
• Works on any rig — wacky, Texas, Neko, drop shot, Ned, Carolina
• 21 proven color options — the most comprehensive color selection in the lineup
• 10 per pack

Tackle Express Tips

1. Use an O-ring for wacky rigging — The Senko's soft formula tears quickly on a standard wacky hook. Slide an O-ring onto the center of the bait and hook through the O-ring — you'll get 3–5x more casts per bait and the action is identical. A #1/0 or #2/0 wacky hook is the right size for the 4" body.
2. Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake is the all-time go-to — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is the most proven Senko color of all time — start here in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Watermelon Small Gold Large Black Flake (#323) in clear water with a natural bottom, and use Black w/ Large Blue Flake (#021) in dark or muddy water for maximum silhouette visibility. Gooseberry Laminate (#963) is a sleeper color for clear water smallmouth.
3. Let it fall on a slack line — The Senko's magic happens on the fall — cast it out, let it sink on a completely slack line, and watch your line for any movement that indicates a strike. Most bites happen before the bait hits the bottom. Resist the urge to twitch or retrieve — the bait does all the work on its own.

FAQ

Q: What makes the Senko different from other stick baits?
A: The salt-impregnated formula is the key — it gives the Senko a unique density that produces a horizontal fall with a seductive side-to-side action that no other bait can replicate. Most stick baits fall nose-down or tail-down; the Senko falls horizontally, presenting the entire bait profile to the fish on the fall. That horizontal fall with side-to-side action is what makes it so irresistible to bass.

Q: What's the difference between the 3", 4", and 5" Senko?
A: The 4" is the most versatile all-around size — the right choice in most situations. The 3" is the finesse option for ultra-clear water, pressured fish, and smallmouth. The 5" is the big-bass option for largemouth in heavier cover and situations where a larger profile attracts quality fish. Start with the 4" and adjust based on conditions.

Q: How many come in a pack?
A: 10 per pack.

Roboworm Gamakatsu ReBarb Worm Hooks are built around a single defining feature: a plastic barb on the shank that prevents the worm from sliding down the hook after the cast. Cast after cast, the worm stays in the perfect position on the hook — no re-rigging, no worm bunching at the bend. The thin wire gauge sets the hook easily on light line, and the barb and bend geometry keep fish on the hook through the fight. Effective for plastic worms and live worms on Carolina rigs, weedless drop shots, Texas rigs, and more. Available in Aberdeen, Light Wire, and Medium Wire styles across 9 size options.

Key Features

• Plastic Barb on the Shank — Prevents Worm Slip — The ReBarb’s defining feature is a small plastic barb positioned on the shank that grips the worm and prevents it from sliding down toward the bend during the cast and retrieve; the barb keeps the worm in the correct rigging position cast after cast, eliminating the need to re-rig after every few casts; works with both soft plastic worms and live worms.
• Thin Wire Gauge — Easy Hooksets on Light Line — The light and medium wire options are designed for finesse applications where thin wire is needed for easy hooksets on light fluorocarbon and monofilament line; the thin wire penetrates the fish’s mouth more easily than a heavy wire hook on the same hookset force, making it ideal for drop shot, shaky head, and finesse Texas rig applications where light line is standard.
• Barb & Bend Geometry — Keeps Fish On — The hook’s barb and bend geometry are designed to keep fish on the hook through the fight; the barb prevents the hook from backing out during head shakes and the bend geometry maintains consistent hook pressure throughout the fight.
• Gamakatsu Quality — Needle-Sharp Out of the Pack — Made by Gamakatsu, known for needle-sharp hooks that penetrate easily and maintain their edge through extended use.

Size & Wire Selection Guide

Best For

• Weedless Drop Shot — The ReBarb’s plastic barb keeps the worm in the correct nose-hook or wacky-hook position on the drop shot rig cast after cast; use Size 1 or Size 2 Light Wire for finesse drop shot applications on 6–8 lb fluorocarbon.
• Texas Rig — The plastic barb keeps the worm from sliding down the shank during the cast and retrieve through heavy cover; use Medium Wire sizes (1/0–4/0) matched to the worm size for standard Texas rig applications.
• Carolina Rig — Effective on a Carolina rig where the worm is exposed on a long leader; the plastic barb keeps the worm in position during the long cast required for Carolina rig fishing; use Medium Wire sizes matched to the worm size.
• Live Worm Fishing — The Aberdeen style sizes (Size 2 and Size 4) are ideal for live worm fishing; the Aberdeen bend allows the worm to move naturally while the plastic barb keeps it from sliding down the shank.

Izorline First String Clear Wind-On Top Shots are the fastest, Stronest, and easiest way to connect Spectre/Braid to Mono. There is a small learning curve to fishing Wind-On Top Shots.

Izorline First String Clear Wind-On Top Shots have a spectra loop on the end so you're going to need to serve a loop in your hollow core spectra to make the loop to loop connection and if you do not have hollow core then, you'd have to tie a Bimini twist loop in the end of your solid spectra to make the right connection.

A Wind-On Top Shot is one of the most in-line connections from braid to mono making it virtually silent and smooth going through the guides on the rod. Also a Loop to Loop connection is the strongest connection for spectra to mono.  Some anglers like monofilament over fluorocarbon because monofilament has more stretch.  That stretch acts like a rubber band and give a shock absorber when a fish trashes or changes direction quickly.  Fluorocarbon is harder for the fish to see and is generally better during the daytime hours.

The Frog That Changed Everything

The SPRO Dean Rojas Bronzeye Frog 65 is the Dean Rojas Signature Series hollow body frog that redefined topwater frog fishing. Tournament-proven and angler-trusted, this is the lure that raised the bar — and it's still the benchmark every other frog is measured against. Whether you're punching through thick lily pads or walking it across open water, the Bronzeye 65 delivers.

Built for the Strike Zone

At 5/8 oz and 65mm, the Bronzeye hits the sweet spot between castability and profile. It's weighted to land belly-down cast after cast, so you spend more time fishing and less time re-rigging. The soft hollow body collapses on the hookset, and the specially designed Gamakatsu Double Frog Hooks drive home with authority.

Where Standard Frogs Fall Short

Most hollow body frogs either ride too high in the water, spin on the cast, or land hook-side up. The Bronzeye 65 was engineered to solve all three. Its precision weighting system ensures a consistent belly-down landing, its aerodynamic profile cuts through wind for long-distance casts, and its hook geometry maximizes conversion on explosive topwater strikes.

Soft Body, Hard Results

The collapsible soft body is the key to the Bronzeye's legendary hookup ratio. When a bass blows up on it, the body compresses instantly — exposing both Gamakatsu hooks for a solid, deep hookset. No more short strikes. No more missed fish.

The Right Pick If...

• You're fishing matted vegetation, lily pads, or slop where other lures can't go
• You want a frog that walks easily with minimal rod work
• You need a lure that casts far and lands right every time
• You're targeting largemouth bass in warm-water conditions
• You want tournament-proven performance in a proven color lineup

Best Frog Fishing Techniques

• Walking the Dog: Twitch the rod tip rhythmically to create a side-to-side walk on the surface
• Dead Sticking: Let it sit motionless over a pocket in the weeds — let the bass come to it
• Burning: Reel fast across open water to trigger reaction strikes
• Popping: Short, sharp twitches to create a splash-and-pause action

Best Conditions

• Summer and early fall when bass are shallow and aggressive
• Overcast days when bass are more likely to be on top
• Low-light periods — early morning and late evening
• Heavy cover: lily pads, hydrilla mats, duckweed, and emergent vegetation
• Post-spawn when bass are guarding shallow flats

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Pike, Muskie
• Techniques: Topwater, Frog Fishing, Heavy Cover, Open Water Walking
• Conditions: Warm water, heavy vegetation, low-light, post-spawn

Key Features

• Dean Rojas Signature Series design
• 5/8 oz weight — optimal for long-distance casting
• 65mm profile — natural baitfish/frog size
• Precision belly-down weighting system
• Specially designed Gamakatsu Double Frog Hooks
• Collapsible soft hollow body for maximum hookup ratio
• 24 color patterns to match any water condition
• Fishes effectively in heavy cover and open water

Tackle Express Tips

• Go Heavy on Braid: Use 50–65 lb braided line for frog fishing. Braid cuts through vegetation and gives you the power to horse fish out of heavy cover.
• Match the Color to Clarity: In stained or dark water, go with dark colors like Midnight Walker or Black Widow. In clear water or bright sun, try Natural Green or Albino.
• Pause After the Splash: When a bass misses the frog, resist the urge to reel away. Let it sit for 3–5 seconds — a second strike is very common.

FAQ

What size rod should I use with the SPRO Bronzeye Frog 65?
A heavy or extra-heavy 7'–7'6" baitcasting rod is ideal. You need the backbone to drive the hooks home and pull fish out of thick cover.

Is the Bronzeye Frog 65 weedless?
Yes. The hooks ride point-up against the soft body, making it virtually snag-free through lily pads, hydrilla, and other heavy vegetation.

How do I know when to set the hook?
Wait until you feel the weight of the fish before setting. Count "one-one-thousand" after the strike, then sweep hard to the side with a powerful hookset.

The G-Ratt Baits Pistol Pete Swimbaits weighs 1.2 ounces and is a slow sinking bait. This is a very unique glide bait. You can slow retrieve it for a nice gliding action. You can swoop the rod tip for the bait to glide to one side and pause and swoop again to bring it back to the other side. A favorite retrieve is reel cranking it to make a very fast darting action back and forth like a fleeing baitfish. You can do little twitches of the rod with just the tip of the rod while reeling and the baits head will rock left to right which will imitate a swimming baitfish.

The bait can also be “waked” on a slow retrieve when brought to the surface. It has a beautiful tight subtle rolling wake which we’ve found effective early mornings and late evenings. Our new weighting system adds a realistic rattling sound. This bait has a slow sinking ratio of 1 foot in 2-3 seconds. The Pistol Pete comes equipped with two size 4 hooks. The hooks can be changed if desired. The tails are easily replaceable. 

Pistol Pete is a scaled-down version of Sneaky Pete. Coming complete with strong components, rotating hook hangers and 3X hooks to ensure you land more fish! Pistol Pete is weighted with steel bearings to produce a nice rattling sound to help enhance that big bite!

Classic Surface Iron Technique

The JRI-35 excels with the time-tested surface iron retrieve that West Coast anglers have relied on for generations. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink briefly, then retrieve with a rhythmic rod-pumping action that creates an erratic swimming motion. The proven profile and balanced weight create the darting, flashing action that triggers explosive strikes from tuna, yellowtail, dorado, and other aggressive pelagics feeding near the surface.

Built for West Coast Pelagics

Whether you're targeting yellowfin and skipjack tuna on offshore banks, working kelp beds for yellowtail, casting to dorado around kelp paddies and floating debris, pursuing bonito and barracuda in feeding frenzies, or searching for any West Coast pelagic species, the JRI-35 delivers consistent results. The versatile size and proven action make it an excellent choice for a wide range of pelagic fishing situations from Southern California to Baja.

Specifications

Cover water, then make them commit. The SPRO McStick 110 Jerkbait, designed by bass angler Mike McClelland, combines a weight-transfer system for longer casts with a darting jerkbait action. Work it with rod twitches and pauses to give following fish a chance to strike, whether you're using spinning or baitcasting gear.

Reach Fish Without Rushing the Retrieve

A short cast can leave a lot of fish untouched, especially when you need to cover a bank or reach a distant target. The McStick's weight-transfer design helps you get it out there. Once it lands, vary the cadence rather than simply winding it in: twitch, pause, and watch how fish respond. Casting distance and action still depend on your tackle and retrieve.

The Right Pick If...

You want a hard jerkbait for bass fishing with a long-casting design and a choice of baitfish-inspired and high-visibility finishes. Choose a subtle shade when a natural look suits the water, or a brighter finish when you want the lure to stand out. Exact running depth and suspension behavior are not confirmed here, so don't choose it on those specifications alone.

Best For

• Cast-and-retrieve jerkbait fishing for bass.
• Working points and banks with a twitch-and-pause presentation.
• Matching a natural shad look or trying a brighter color as conditions change.

Key Features

• Designed by professional bass angler Mike McClelland.
• Weight-transfer system intended to support longer casts with spinning or baitcasting gear.
• Darting action and multiple finish options.
• Listed with #5 Gamakatsu treble hooks; hooks are included even when not shown in pictures.

Models & Specs

Pick a Look, Then Fish the Cadence

Start with Natural Herring, Ayu, or a shad pattern when a baitfish look fits the situation; try Clear Chartreuse or another bold color when visibility is limited. Select your color using the options and photos above. Cast past your target, work a twitch-pause sequence, and adjust the pause length if fish follow without striking. Inspect the hooks and line tie before each trip.

Tackle Express Tips

• Try a shorter pause first, then lengthen it if fish follow but don't commit.
• Keep some slack after each twitch so the lure can dart rather than simply pull straight ahead.
• Carry a natural and a brighter color to adapt to changing light and water clarity.

Quick Answers

Are hooks included? Yes. The product information says hooks are included even though they aren't shown in every picture.

Can I cast it on spinning gear? The listed weight-transfer design is described as suitable for both spinning and baitcasting gear; match your rod and line to the lure.

How should I retrieve it? Start with twitches and pauses, then adjust the cadence to fish response and conditions.

Complete the Setup
