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.

Step Up the Size, Keep the Action

Hookup Baits are hand-crafted in San Diego and engineered around shape, color, and action — the three things that actually trigger bites. The Large body is the middle ground in the Hookup Baits lineup: bigger than the Medium for more water displacement and a larger profile, but sized for the versatile 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads that cover a wide range of inshore and nearshore situations. When the body wears out, swap it onto your existing jig head and you're back fishing in seconds. Five bodies per pack keeps you covered all day.

The Right Fit for Your Jig Head

These bodies are designed specifically for Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads. The larger profile pushes more water and gives fish a bigger target — ideal when yellowtail or calico bass are keyed on larger baitfish or when you need more action at depth. Like all Hookup Baits products, the Large body can be cast, jigged vertically, or trolled.

Why Replacement Bodies Make Sense

Soft plastic bodies take a beating — from fish, from rocks, from repeated casts through structure. Buying replacement bodies instead of whole new jigs keeps your proven jig head in rotation and saves money over time. If you've found a color that's been producing, stocking up on bodies means you never have to fish without it.

Seven Colors, Matched to the Conditions

• Brown Silver — natural baitfish imitation with flash, effective in a wide range of conditions
• Red Crab — high-contrast attractor color, great in low-vis or stained water
• Chovy — anchovy-match profile, a staple when 'chovies are the primary forage
• Sardine Green — natural sardine imitation, strong in clear water and bright conditions
• Pearl Glow Green — subtle glow finish for low-light and deeper presentations
• Pearl White — versatile high-flash color that works across species and conditions
• Mint — translucent, subtle color for pressured fish and clear water

Three Ways to Fish It

• Cast and retrieve — work it along kelp edges, structure, and rocky points
• Vertical jigging — drop to the mark and work it up through the water column
• Trolling — pull it behind the boat to cover water and locate fish

Best Conditions

• Inshore and nearshore saltwater — kelp beds, rocky structure, and open water
• Situations where a larger profile triggers more aggressive strikes
• Any session where fish are keyed on larger baitfish like sardines or mackerel

Best For

• Yellowtail and calico bass on cast-and-retrieve and vertical jig presentations
• Bonito and barracuda when fish are chasing larger bait
• Anglers who already fish Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, or HUB Bullet jig heads and want to stock up on bodies
• Anyone looking to extend the life of their existing jig investment

Key Features

• Brand: Hookup Baits (designed & manufactured in San Diego, CA)
• Fits: 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads
• Pack contents: 5 replacement bodies
• Colors: Brown Silver, Red Crab, Chovy, Sardine Green, Pearl Glow Green, Pearl White, Mint
• Techniques: Cast, vertical jig, troll
• Target species: Yellowtail, calico bass, bonito, barracuda

How to Replace the Body

Watch the official Hookup Baits tutorial below for a step-by-step walkthrough on swapping out the soft body on your jig head.

Tackle Express Tips

• Brown Silver is a versatile all-around color — if you're not sure what the fish are keyed on, start here and adjust based on what's getting bit.
• Pearl Glow Green is worth keeping in your bag for early morning or late afternoon sessions when light is low — the subtle glow finish can make a real difference at depth.
• Keep a few extra bodies in your tackle bag on every trip. Bodies wear out fast when fish are biting — having spares means you never have to slow down.

FAQ

What jig heads do these bodies fit?
These replacement bodies are designed specifically for Hookup Baits 3/8oz, 5/8oz, and HUB Bullet jig heads. For smaller jig heads, see the Medium Replacement Bodies. For larger offshore jig heads, see the Big Game Replacement Bodies.

How many bodies come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 replacement bodies in your selected color.

How does the Large compare to the Medium and Big Game bodies?
The Large fits 3/8oz and 5/8oz jig heads — bigger than the Medium (1/8oz and 1/4oz) for more water displacement and a larger profile, but smaller than the Big Game (1oz and 1.5oz) which is built for offshore pelagics like tuna. The Large is the go-to for inshore and nearshore yellowtail and calico bass fishing.

The short profile and lifelike action provide natural baitfish presentation that triggers strikes from aggressive fish while the compact design allows effective jigging in various conditions.

The lightest Tady surface iron

The Tady A1 Light Surface Iron is the lightest surface iron in the Tady lineup at about 1¾ to 2 oz and 5 inches. It's a surface-weight version of the A2 shape, rigged with a single fixed, welded hook. Reach for it in calm conditions when fish are feeding near the top and a heavier iron is more than you need. Hand-crafted in the USA.

Why anglers reach for the A1 Light

• Lightest Tady surface iron: About 1¾–2 oz for a subtle presentation in calm water.
• A2-derived shape: The proven A2 profile, built at surface-iron weight.
• Single fixed welded hook: Fewer tangles on the cast and during the fight, and faster unhooking at the rail.
• Hand-crafted in the USA: Built with the consistency expected from Tady Lures.

How to fish the Tady A1 Light

Cast to feeding fish, working birds or kelp paddies. Let the iron settle for a second or two, then wind steadily with the rod tip pointed down. Don't pump the rod; the iron swims on a steady retrieve. Because it's the lightest Tady surface iron, it's at its best when the wind is calm and you don't need maximum casting distance.

Best for

• Species: Yellowtail, bonito, barracuda, tuna and dorado.
• Conditions: Calm to light wind with fish feeding near the surface.
• Technique: Cast-and-wind surface iron fishing.
• Hook setup: Single fixed welded hook.

Specifications

• Brand: Tady Lures
• Model: A1 Light
• Type: Light surface iron jig
• Weight: Approximately 1¾–2 oz (varies slightly by finish)
• Length: 5 in.
• Hook: Single fixed welded hook
• Construction: Hand-crafted in the USA

Choose your color

Use the color selector to compare the Scrambled Egg, Mint White, White and Green Yellow finishes. Availability changes as colors sell through, so the selector shows the current options.

Compare other Tady irons

• Tady 4/0 Light: slightly heavier at about 2.6–2.8 oz, also with a single fixed hook.
• Tady 45: about 3 oz with a treble hook, for more casting distance.
• Tady A2: the same shape family as a heavy yo-yo iron for fish below the surface.
• Shop all Tady irons

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Tady A1 Light weigh?

About 1¾ to 2 oz depending on the finish, with a 5-inch body.

Why choose a single fixed hook?

A welded single hook tangles less on the cast and during the fight, and it comes out of a fish faster at the rail.

How should I retrieve it?

Cast, let it settle briefly, then wind steadily with the rod tip down. The iron creates its own action, so there's no need to pump the rod.

What's the difference between the A1 Light and the A2?

The A1 Light is a light surface iron built on the A2 shape. The A2 is a heavier yo-yo iron, about 4 oz, for fish holding below the surface.

The Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ is a highly durable paddle-tail swimbait designed for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. It is made from Z-Man's proprietary 10X Tough ElaZtech material, which makes it resistant to tearing and allows it to survive multiple strikes from toothy fish.

Key Features

• ElaZtech Durability: The material is incredibly soft yet nearly indestructible, often lasting through dozens of catches.

• Buoyancy: Unlike traditional plastics, ElaZtech is naturally buoyant, which allows the tail to float up when at rest, creating a more lifelike presentation.

• Weedless Design: It features a molded-in belly hook slot and a split dorsal fin to hide the hook point, making it easy to fish through heavy grass and cover.

• Versatile Sizes: Available in 4-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch models to match various baitfish profiles.

When it's time to target trophy predators, the Z-Man StreakZ XL 8"is the ultimate 8-inch oversized soft plastic jerkbait. This full-bodied baitfish imitation is engineered for big-game applications, featuring a realistic split-tail design and intricate gill-plate detailing that produces a natural darting and gliding action on the retrieve. Its salt-impregnated construction adds critical weight for long-distance casting and increases the sink rate, making it perfect for both surface and deep-water presentations.

Constructed from Z-Man's legendary 10X Tough ElaZtech superplastic, the StreakZ is incredibly durable and naturally buoyant. This specialized material allows the bait to withstand repeated, aggressive strikes from toothy predators like musky, pike, stripers, and tuna without losing its lifelike flexibility. Whether you're vertical jigging offshore or working a weedless setup in heavy cover, this bait delivers a high-impact profile that triggers instinctive reaction strikes from the largest fish in the system.

Key Features:

• 10X Tough ElaZtech Construction: Delivers extreme durability that outlasts traditional soft baits, even when targeted by toothy predators.

• Salt-Impregnated Body: Increases weight for superior casting distance and ensures a faster sink rate for subsurface applications.

• Realistic Baitfish Action: Features a split-tail design and molded gill plates that create a natural, unpredictable darting motion.

• Maximum Versatility: Naturally buoyant and effective for topwater, midwater, or deepwater fishing across fresh and saltwater environments.

• Integrated Hook Slot: Designed with a specialized slot to facilitate easy weedless rigging in heavy vegetation or timber.

• Optimized Rigging: Pairs perfectly with heavy-duty hardware like 8/0 HeadlockZ jigheads or 10/0 ChinlockZ SWS weighted hooks.

• Target Species: A proven producer for Stripers, Snook, Cobia, Musky, Pike, Tuna, and monster Largemouth Bass.

Fresh Body, Same Proven Jig Head

Hookup Baits are hand-crafted in San Diego and built around a formula that works: shape, color, and action dialed in to trigger more bites. The Medium body is sized for inshore and nearshore fishing — calico bass around kelp, yellowtail on the iron, and any situation where a smaller, more natural profile gets more looks. When the body wears out, swap it onto your existing 1/8oz or 1/4oz jig head and you're back in the game. Five bodies per pack keeps you fishing all day.

Sized for Inshore, Built for Results

The Medium body fits 1/8oz and 1/4oz Hookup Baits jig heads — the go-to sizes for calico bass, smaller yellowtail, and inshore species where a compact profile matches the forage better than a larger body. Like all Hookup Baits products, it can be cast, jigged vertically, or trolled, giving you flexibility across techniques and conditions.

Why Replacement Bodies Make Sense

Soft plastic bodies take punishment — from fish, from rocks, from repeated casts through structure. Buying replacement bodies instead of whole new jigs keeps your proven jig head in rotation and saves money over time. If you've found a color that's been producing, stocking up on bodies means you never have to fish without it.

Seven Colors, One for Every Condition

• Chovy — anchovy-match profile, a staple when 'chovies are the primary forage
• Red Crab — high-contrast attractor, effective in low-vis or stained water
• Brown Gold — natural, earthy tone that works well around structure and rocky bottom
• Sardine Green — sardine imitation, strong in clear water and bright conditions
• Pearl Glow Green — subtle glow finish for low-light and deeper presentations
• Pearl White — versatile high-flash color that works across species and conditions
• Mint — translucent, subtle color for pressured fish and clear water

Three Ways to Work It

• Cast and retrieve — work it along kelp edges, structure, and rocky points
• Vertical jigging — drop to the mark and work it up through the water column
• Trolling — pull it behind the boat to cover water and locate fish

Best Conditions

• Inshore and nearshore saltwater — kelp beds, rocky structure, and sandy bottom
• Clear water situations where a natural, smaller profile gets more bites
• Any session where fish are keyed on smaller baitfish like anchovies or sardines

Best For

• Calico bass around kelp and structure on cast-and-retrieve
• Yellowtail and bonito on the iron or vertical jig
• Inshore species where a compact, natural profile outperforms larger lures
• Anglers who already fish Hookup Baits 1/8oz or 1/4oz jig heads and want to stock up on bodies

Key Features

• Brand: Hookup Baits (designed & manufactured in San Diego, CA)
• Fits: 1/8oz and 1/4oz Hookup Baits jig heads
• Pack contents: 5 replacement bodies

Why Buy the Yamamoto Flappin' Hog Large?

The Yamamoto Flappin' Hog Large takes the proven design and action of the original Flappin' Hog and scales it up to 4.5" to attract bigger bites from bigger bass. Four types of appendages are positioned close to the body so the Large Flappin' Hog can still penetrate tight cover with ease — no fouling, no tangling, just maximum action in the strike zone. A hollow section near the tail allows for easy hook penetration and secure rigging, making it one of the most hookup-friendly large creature baits in the Yamamoto lineup. 5 per pack, 3 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A 4.5-inch large-profile creature bait with four appendage types and a hollow tail section for easy hook penetration — designed for flipping and pitching into heavy cover where you need a bigger profile to attract bigger bites, without sacrificing the ability to penetrate tight cover that smaller creature baits can reach.

Problem It Solves

Large creature baits often have too many appendages spread too wide to penetrate tight cover cleanly, and their thick bodies make hook penetration difficult. The Flappin' Hog Large solves both — appendages positioned close to the body allow it to slip through heavy cover, and the hollow tail section makes hook penetration and rigging fast and secure, even on heavy flipping hooks.

Advantages

• ✅ 4.5" large profile — attracts bigger bites from bigger bass than the standard Flappin' Hog
• ✅ Four types of appendages — maximum action and disturbance in the strike zone
• ✅ Appendages positioned close to body — penetrates tight cover without fouling
• ✅ Hollow tail section — easy hook penetration and secure rigging on heavy flipping hooks
• ✅ Yamamoto soft plastic formula — natural feel, fish hold on longer
• ✅ 3 proven color options
• ✅ 5 per pack
• ⚠️ 4.5" large profile — for standard cover and finesse applications, consider the original Flappin' Hog

When to Choose It

Reach for the Flappin' Hog Large when you're targeting big bass in heavy cover and need a larger profile to attract quality fish, when you want maximum appendage action in the strike zone without sacrificing cover penetration, or when you've been fishing the standard Flappin' Hog and want to upgrade to a bigger profile to target the largest fish in the area.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Flipping & Pitching — Texas-rig on a 5/0–6/0 EWG or straight shank hook with a 1/2–3/4 oz bullet weight; the appendages kick and flutter on the fall and the hollow tail section makes hook penetration fast and secure
• Punching — rig on a 5/0–6/0 straight shank hook with a 1.5–2 oz tungsten punch weight; the close-body appendages allow it to punch through matted grass cleanly
• Jig Trailer — pin onto a 1/2–3/4 oz flipping jig for maximum bulk and appendage action on every hop; the 4.5" profile adds significant presence to a large flipping jig
• Carolina Rig — thread onto a 4/0–5/0 hook, 18–24" behind a 3/4–1 oz Carolina weight; drag slowly along the bottom for a large, fluttering presentation over hard structure

Best Conditions

• Heavy grass, matted vegetation, and thick cover where punching is required
• Docks, laydowns, brush piles, and wood cover for flipping and pitching
• Stained to murky water where a large profile with maximum action is most effective
• Warm water (summer and early fall) when big bass are buried deep in heavy cover
• Pre-spawn and spawn when large bass are holding tight to cover and structure

Best For

Key Features

• 4.5" large profile — bigger version of the proven Flappin' Hog design
• Four types of appendages — maximum action and disturbance in the strike zone
• Close-body appendage positioning — penetrates tight cover without fouling
• Hollow tail section — easy hook penetration and secure rigging
• Yamamoto soft plastic formula — natural feel, fish hold on longer
• 3 proven color options
• 5 per pack

Models & Specs

Size: 4.5" | Count: 5 per pack | Water Type: Freshwater | Target Species: Largemouth Bass

Tackle Express Tips

1. Go heavy on the hook — The 4.5" Flappin' Hog Large needs a 5/0 or 6/0 EWG hook for the best hook gap and hookset performance. The hollow tail section makes rigging fast — push the hook point through the hollow section and out the back for a perfectly centered, weedless presentation every time.
2. Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake for most situations — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Black w/ Large Blue Flake (#021) in dark or muddy water for maximum silhouette visibility, and use Watermelon Copper Flake & Orange Red Flake (#956) in clear water with a natural bottom for a more subtle, natural presentation.
3. Slow the fall for bigger fish — The 4.5" profile and four appendage types create significant water resistance on the fall — use a lighter bullet weight (1/4–3/8 oz) than you'd normally use for flipping to slow the fall and give big bass more time to track and commit to the bait. Most strikes happen on the initial fall, so a slower fall means more time in the strike zone.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the Flappin' Hog Large and the standard Flappin' Hog?
A: The Large is a 4.5" version designed to attract bigger bites from bigger bass — it has the same four appendage types and close-body positioning as the original, but the larger profile produces more disturbance and targets quality fish in heavy cover. Choose the Large when you're specifically targeting big bass and want to upgrade your profile; use the standard Flappin' Hog for more versatile applications across a wider range of fish sizes.

Q: What hook size works best for the Flappin' Hog Large?
A: A 5/0 or 6/0 EWG hook works best for Texas rig flipping and pitching. For punching through matted grass, use a 5/0 or 6/0 straight shank hook with a 1.5–2 oz tungsten punch weight. The hollow tail section makes hook penetration fast and easy — push the hook through the hollow section for a perfectly centered, weedless presentation.

Q: How many come in a pack?
A: 5 per pack.

Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 130 Saltwater Jerkbait

The Channel Islands. A kelp edge. Calico bass stacked up and hunting bait. This is where the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 130 earns its reputation. Bigger, heavier, and more imposing than the Flash Minnow 110, the 130 was built for situations where a larger profile makes all the difference — keeping smaller fish off the bait while drawing bigger predators up from depth.

Unlike the floating Flash Minnow 110, the FM130 is a suspending bait that stays locked in the strike zone on the pause. Combining the best of the Pointer and Flash Minnow designs, it delivers a compelling side-to-side action on the twitch and slowly floats back up, making it incredibly versatile across a range of shallow to mid-depth saltwater situations. Whether you're working it on a straight retrieve or ripping and pausing through structure, the FM130 is a proven producer on calico bass, halibut, and inshore exotics.

The Swimbait That Works Every Way You Fish It

The Bottom Dweller Baits Shiner4 is a 4" soft swimbait built for anglers who want one bait that does it all. Whether you're slow-rolling a lead head along the bottom, running it on an A-Rig, or using it as a bladed jig trailer, the Shiner4 delivers a lifelike, fish-catching action that gets bit. Sold in 3-packs in proven color patterns, it's a staple for freshwater bass fishing and inshore calico action.

Built for Multiple Rigging Styles

The Shiner4 is engineered to perform across a wide range of presentations. Rig it on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook for a weedless setup, pair it with a lead head and 8–12lb fluorocarbon for a finesse slow-roll, or run multiple baits on an umbrella rig for a schooling baitfish effect. Its weight distribution and body profile allow seamless transitions between techniques without sacrificing action.

When Generic Swimbaits Fall Short

Most soft swimbaits are built for one technique and one technique only. The Shiner4 is different — its body taper, tail kick, and weight balance are dialed in to produce natural action whether it's swimming fast, slow-rolled near the bottom, or trailing behind a bladed jig. You get a bait that adapts to the fish, not the other way around.

Lifelike Action + Fluorocarbon Sensitivity = More Bites

Pair the Shiner4 with 8–12lb fluorocarbon and you'll feel every subtle tap and bump. The low-vis fluoro keeps the presentation natural, while the Shiner4's tail kick does the work of mimicking a fleeing baitfish. The result is a bait that looks real, feels real, and gets eaten.

The Right Pick If...

• You want one swimbait that works on a swimbait hook, lead head, A-Rig, or bladed jig
• You're targeting bass, calico, or other predatory fish in freshwater or inshore environments
• You want a proven color selection in a 3-pack value format
• You need a trailer that adds action to your bladed jig or umbrella rig

Best Fishing Techniques

• Slow-rolling on a lead head near the bottom
• Weedless rigging on a 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook
• Alabama/umbrella rig (A-Rig) — multiple baits for a schooling effect
• Bladed jig trailer for added action and profile
• Mid-column swimming retrieve

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where a natural baitfish profile shines
• Slow to moderate retrieves when fish are lethargic or pressured
• Schooling baitfish situations — match the hatch with shad or shiner colors
• Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and rivers; inshore calico kelp fishing

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, calico bass, striped bass
• Techniques: Swimbait fishing, A-Rig, bladed jig trailer, lead head slow-roll
• Line: 8–12lb fluorocarbon recommended for lead head presentations

Key Features

• 4" soft swimbait with natural baitfish profile
• Compatible with 2/0–4/0 swimbait hooks
• Works on lead heads, A-Rigs, and bladed jigs
• Unrigged weight: ~0.5 oz
• 3 baits per pack
• Available in Hologram Shad, Sexy Shad, Big Fish, White Ghost, and Rainbow Trout

Tackle Express Tips

• Go lighter on the lead head in cold water. When fish are sluggish, drop to a 1/4 oz head and slow your retrieve way down — the Shiner4's tail does the work even at a crawl.
• Match the color to water clarity. Hologram Shad and White Ghost shine in clear water; Big Fish and Sexy Shad are go-tos in stained or off-color conditions.
• Use it as a bladed jig trailer for a bigger profile. Thread the Shiner4 onto your bladed jig hook for added bulk and a more pronounced tail kick — deadly when bass are keying on larger baitfish.

FAQ

What hook size should I use with the Shiner4?
A 2/0–4/0 swimbait hook is the ideal range. A 3/0 is a great all-around starting point for most presentations. Match hook size to the lead head weight and the depth you're fishing.

Can I use the Shiner4 on an umbrella rig?
Yes — the Shiner4 is an excellent A-Rig bait. Its compact 4" profile and natural tail kick create a convincing schooling baitfish effect. Run 3–5 on a standard umbrella rig frame for maximum impact.

What line should I use?
For lead head presentations, 8–12lb fluorocarbon is recommended. Fluoro's low visibility and sensitivity make it ideal for slow-rolling the Shiner4 near the bottom. For A-Rig or bladed jig use, match your main line to the technique.

The Zoom Winged Fluke puts a proven twist on the classic Super Fluke with two small wings flanking the head, producing an erratic darting and gliding action that perfectly mimics a dying baitfish. Whether you're burning it through open water or dead-sticking it over grass, bass simply can't resist it.

Key Features

• Winged head design creates irresistible darting and gliding action
• Tapered forked tail flutters erratically at any retrieve speed
• Versatile rigging — weightless, Carolina rig, keel hook, or jig head
• “Burn and stop” technique triggers explosive reaction strikes
• Available in 4" and 5" sizes across 8 lifelike shad color patterns

Why Buy the Yamamoto Cowboy?

The Yamamoto Cowboy is the perfect "line dance" partner for bass anglers who flip into heavy cover, punch through thick vegetation, and need a jig trailer with maximum kicking action. Its large, J-shaped legs produce a prominent, rhythmic kicking motion — like a cowboy dancing with his chaps on — that triggers reaction strikes from bass buried deep in cover. Two sets of small, flapping appendages add bite-triggering secondary action on every pause. Bulky enough for secure rigging, streamlined enough to slip through heavy vegetation. 7 per pack, 14 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A creature bait designed for flipping, pitching, and punching into heavy cover — its large J-shaped legs produce a prominent kicking action that triggers strikes from bass holding tight in grass, brush, and laydowns, while two sets of flapping appendages add secondary action that keeps fish committed on the bite.

Problem It Solves

Standard creature baits either have too much bulk to penetrate heavy vegetation or too little action to trigger strikes from bass buried deep in cover. The Yamamoto Cowboy's streamlined profile slips through thick grass and brush while its J-shaped legs and flapping appendages produce maximum action once it reaches the strike zone — the best of both worlds for heavy cover fishing.

Advantages

• ✅ Large J-shaped legs — prominent kicking action that triggers reaction strikes in heavy cover
• ✅ Two sets of flapping appendages — bite-triggering secondary action on every pause
• ✅ Streamlined profile — slips through heavy vegetation and brush without fouling
• ✅ Bulky enough for secure rigging on heavy hooks and punch rigs
• ✅ Versatile — jig trailer, flipping, pitching, punching, Texas rig
• ✅ 14 proven color options across natural and reaction shades
  
• ⚠️ Larger profile — best for heavy cover and power fishing; for finesse applications, consider a smaller creature bait

When to Choose It

Reach for the Yamamoto Cowboy when bass are buried in heavy grass, brush piles, laydowns, or dock pilings and you need a bait that can penetrate the cover and produce maximum action in the strike zone. It's equally effective as a jig trailer for adding bulk and kicking action to a flipping jig or football jig, and as a standalone punch rig bait through thick matted vegetation.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Flipping & Pitching — Texas-rig on a 4/0–5/0 EWG hook with a 1/2–3/4 oz bullet weight; flip into docks, laydowns, brush piles, and sparse grass; the J-legs kick on the fall and at rest
• Punching — rig on a 4/0–5/0 straight shank hook with a 1–2 oz tungsten punch weight; the streamlined profile punches through matted grass and the legs explode with action once through the mat
• Jig Trailer — pin onto a flipping jig, football jig, or swim jig; the J-legs and flapping appendages add bulk and kicking action that complements the jig's movement on every hop
• Texas Rig — 1/4–3/8 oz bullet weight for a slower-falling presentation through sparse cover and open water
• Carolina Rig — drag slowly along the bottom over hard structure; the legs and appendages flutter naturally on the pause

Best Conditions

• Heavy grass, matted vegetation, and thick cover where punching is required
• Docks, laydowns, brush piles, and wood cover for flipping and pitching
• Stained to muddy water where a bulky profile with maximum action is most effective
• Warm water (summer and early fall) when bass are buried deep in heavy cover
• Pre-spawn and spawn when bass are holding tight to cover and structure

Tackle Express Tips

1. Match the cover color — Green Pumpkin Black Flake (#297) and Dark Green Pumpkin Amber (#926) are your best natural matches for green grass and wood cover. Switch to Okeechobee Craw for Florida-style fisheries with orange-tinted crawfish, and use Black Large Blue Flake in dark or muddy water for maximum silhouette visibility.
2. Trim the legs for a jig trailer — When using the Cowboy as a jig trailer, trim the J-legs to about half length for a more compact profile on smaller jigs (3/8 oz and under). Leave the full legs intact on larger flipping jigs (1/2–3/4 oz) for maximum bulk and kicking action.
3. Go heavy on the punch rig — For punching through matted grass, use a 1.5–2 oz tungsten punch weight with a 5/0 straight shank hook. The Cowboy's streamlined body punches through the mat cleanly — once through, the J-legs and appendages explode with action in the pocket below the mat where big bass are holding.

FAQ

Q: What makes the Cowboy's J-shaped legs different from standard craw claws?
A: The Cowboy's large J-shaped legs are designed to produce a prominent, rhythmic kicking action — more like a swimming or dancing motion than the pinching action of standard craw claws. This creates a unique, highly visible action in heavy cover that triggers reaction strikes from bass that have seen standard creature baits.

Q: What hook size works best for flipping the Cowboy?
A: A 4/0 or 5/0 EWG hook works best for Texas rig flipping and pitching. For punching through matted grass, use a 4/0 or 5/0 straight shank (Gamakatsu G-Finesse Heavy Cover or similar) with a 1.5–2 oz tungsten punch weight for the best penetration and hookset performance.

Q: Is the Cowboy good as a swim jig trailer?
A: Yes — the J-legs produce excellent action on a swim jig retrieve. Pin it onto a 3/8–1/2 oz swim jig and the legs kick and flutter on a slow, steady retrieve through grass edges and open water. Baby Bass and Watermelon Black Flake are top swim jig trailer color picks.

Berkley PowerBait Chigger Craw

The Berkley PowerBait Chigger Craw is one of the most proven craw baits in bass fishing — a Bassmaster Classic® winning bait that continues to produce at every level of the sport. Its high-action pinchers move wildly back and forth with a lifelike swimming motion that triggers aggressive strikes, while small appendages and a realistic body profile complete the illusion of a fleeing crawfish.

Infused with Berkley's exclusive PowerBait scent and flavor formula, fish hold on up to 18 times longer than with unscented baits — giving you more time to feel the bite and drive the hook home. Fish it slow or buzz it through the water and watch those claws go to work.

Features

• High-action pinchers — move wildly back and forth for lifelike swimming motion
• Realistic profile — small appendages and large claws mimic a real crawfish
• PowerBait scent & flavor — fish hold on up to 18x longer
• Versatile rigging — Texas rig for flipping, jig trailer, or Carolina rig
• Bassmaster Classic® winning bait — tournament-proven at the highest level
• 4", 7 per pack

Best For

• Techniques: Flipping, pitching, Texas rig, jig trailer, Carolina rig
• Conditions: Heavy cover, docks, rocky structure, year-round

The 3.5-inch Fat Gitzit Tubes is a classic, tournament proven bait. The Fat Gitzit actually has a narrower profile, and is a great choice any time the fishing gets tough. It has a natural fall in the water, and delivers an excellent crawfish imitation when dragged along the bottom. Available in several colors.

Why Buy the Yamamoto Kreature?

The Yamamoto Kreature is all business. Salt-loaded like every bait in the Yamamoto lineup, the Kreature is built for anglers who flip and pitch into heavy cover, need a big jig trailer with maximum water movement, or want a large Texas rig bait to shake in front of stubborn bass. Side flaps along the body produce extra water movement and action that drives fish wild — and the Kreature's proven fish-catching colors have been tested and approved by Yamamoto's pro staff. 10 per pack, 7 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A salt-loaded creature bait with side flaps for maximum water movement — equally effective Texas-rigged for flipping and pitching into heavy cover, fished weightless on a big hook, or used as a large jig trailer that adds bulk and flapping action to any flipping or football jig.

Problem It Solves

Many creature baits either lack the water movement needed to trigger strikes in heavy cover or are too bulky to rig cleanly on a shorter shank hook. The Kreature's side flaps produce maximum water movement and action without adding excessive bulk, and its body is designed to rig cleanly on shorter shank hooks like the Owner Rig-N-Hook and Gamakatsu G-Lock for better hookset performance in heavy cover.

Advantages

• ✅ Salt-loaded formula — natural feel, fish hold on longer
• ✅ Side flaps — extra water movement and action that triggers strikes in heavy cover
• ✅ Versatile — Texas rig flipping, weightless, jig trailer, shaky head
• ✅ Pro staff tested and proven — Yamamoto tournament-proven design
• ✅ Shorter shank hook compatible — Owner Rig-N-Hook or Gamakatsu G-Lock 2/0–3/0 for best results
• ✅ 7 proven color options across natural and reaction shades
• ✅ 10 per pack
• ⚠️ Larger profile — best for power fishing and heavy cover; for finesse applications, consider a smaller creature bait

When to Choose It

Reach for the Yamamoto Kreature when you need a salt-loaded creature bait with maximum water movement for flipping and pitching into heavy cover, when you want a big jig trailer that adds bulk and flapping action to a flipping or football jig, or when you need a large Texas rig bait to shake in front of stubborn bass holding tight to structure.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Texas Rig Flipping & Pitching — rig on a 2/0–3/0 Owner Rig-N-Hook or Gamakatsu G-Lock with a 1/2–3/4 oz bullet weight; flip into docks, laydowns, brush piles, and heavy grass; the side flaps kick and flutter on the fall
• Weightless — rig on a 3/0–4/0 EWG hook and fish weightless through sparse cover and open water; the salt-loaded body produces a natural, slow fall with maximum side flap action
• Jig Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz flipping jig or football jig; the side flaps add water movement and action on every hop that complements the jig's movement
• Shaky Head — thread onto a 3/16–1/4 oz shaky head for a stand-up presentation on hard bottom; shake the rod tip to activate the side flaps in the strike zone
• Punching — rig on a 3/0–4/0 straight shank hook with a 1–1.5 oz tungsten punch weight for punching through matted grass

Best Conditions

• Heavy cover — docks, laydowns, brush piles, heavy grass
• Stained to murky water where extra water movement helps fish locate the bait
• Warm water (summer and early fall) when bass are active in heavy cover
• Pre-spawn and spawn when bass are holding tight to cover and structure
• Year-round as a jig trailer — the side flaps produce action in any water temperature

Tackle Express Tips

1. Use a shorter shank hook — Yamamoto's pro staff recommends the Owner Rig-N-Hook or Gamakatsu G-Lock in 2/0 or 3/0 for the best hookset performance with the Kreature. The shorter shank keeps the hook point closer to the body for faster, more solid hooksets in heavy cover — especially important when flipping into thick grass and brush where fish bite fast and let go faster.
2. Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake for most situations — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Cinnamon w/ Black and Purple Flake (#221) in stained water for a natural crawfish-matching color, and use Purple w/ Emerald Flake (#213) in clear water when bass are keying on bluegill-colored forage.
3. Shake it on the bottom — One of the most effective Kreature presentations is a shaky head on hard bottom — thread it onto a 3/16 oz shaky head and shake the rod tip while keeping the bait in contact with the bottom. The side flaps activate with every shake and produce a fluttering, pulsing action that triggers strikes from bass holding tight to structure.

FAQ

Q: What hook size works best for the Yamamoto Kreature?
A: Yamamoto's pro staff recommends a shorter shank hook like the Owner Rig-N-Hook or Gamakatsu G-Lock in 2/0 or 3/0 for Texas rig flipping and pitching. The shorter shank keeps the hook point closer to the body for faster, more solid hooksets. For weightless presentations, a 3/0–4/0 EWG hook works well.

Q: What makes the Kreature different from other creature baits?
A: The Kreature's side flaps are its defining feature — they produce extra water movement and action that most creature baits can't match. Combined with Yamamoto's salt-loaded formula (which makes fish hold on longer) and the shorter shank hook compatibility, the Kreature is one of the most hookup-friendly and fish-holding creature baits in the lineup.

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