The Deps B Custom Spinnerbait is the very first bait ever produced by Deps and has remained one of the most sought-after spinnerbaits ever made. Every detail of this legendary bait has a purpose, setting the stage for finely crafted bass fishing lures and establishing Deps' reputation for premium quality and innovative design.
The unique head design allows the B Custom to rock side to side, creating much more lifelike action than standard spinnerbaits. This innovative head also allows the bait to fall horizontally, making this the best lift-and-fall double willow spinnerbait ever created.

The custom-made blades are not only perfect for fluttering on a vertical drop, but they're set in place with proprietary hollow beading that allows extra vibration underwater.

The Deps Evoke Zero 120 Topwater is a revolutionary single prop plug designed by Elite Angler Kenta Kimura to create the loudest, most explosive surface commotion possible. Staying true to the Evoke Series with a body profile inspired by shallow crankbaits, the Zero flat out causes a raucous disturbance on the surface that attracts bass from long distances and triggers violent strikes.
Engineered with a durable aluminum (duralumin) single prop, the Evoke Zero creates a distinctive squeaky clapping sound as it works on the surface. The rotational movement of the high-strength duralumin prop creates an unbalanced and erratic action that shakes the body, generates powerful sound, and produces strong vibration and waves on the surface. This makes it an exceptional search bait for covering vast amounts of water and appealing to big bass.
The fat body design provides excellent buoyancy and a low center of gravity that runs true even with the rotational force of the prop. A built-in swivel in the upper line eye works in synchronization with the prop, reducing grass catch, minimizing line twist, and helping to increase landing percentage when bass thrash during the fight. The premium hook setup features a RYUGI pierced quad front hook with four hook points on a swivel for better hookups, paired with a super-sharp rear treble.

- Target Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striped bass, pike
Retrieve Techniques:
- Walk-the-Dog: Classic side-to-side action with sharp movements

- Stop-and-Go: Pause to let bait rest in diagonal floating position
Design Details:
The body features a rear center of gravity with a buoyant tail, creating a diagonal floating position. The small spring weight allows it to walk with ease, while the variable balancer gives it a unique sound and sharp movement as it moves side-to-side.
The downward-facing oval-shaped cup shoots bubbles on the surface and imitates a small fish splashing on top. The sharp movements add to the appeal and trigger big fish to bite. The cup design also makes baitfish sounds and provides better action when twitching or walking the dog.
Ideal Applications:
- Clear water situations requiring long-distance casts
- Schooling fish or surface boils
- Early morning and late evening topwater fishing
- Calm water conditions for maximum walking action
- When bass are feeding on larger baitfish
- Covering large areas of water efficiently
When you need a high-performance pencil popper that casts incredibly far and delivers sharp, fish-triggering action, the Deps Brachiostick is the ultimate choice for serious topwater anglers.

The Deps Lil Rabbit Creature Bait was developed for catching big bass with a bulky flat design and compact body that creates unique vibration and a very lifelike look. The extra-thick body combined with an ultra-thin tail gives it great action with each movement of your rod tip, creating trembling vibrations that appeal to bass in a wide range of conditions.
The innovative rabbit tail imitates a wide range of baitfish and crustaceans, and many big bass love the natural look of the rabbit tail in ponds, rivers, and giant lakes. It's especially deadly in places where bass feed on bluegill, making it a go-to bait for targeting trophy fish. The bulky flat compact body with no unnecessary parts creates a silhouette that's easy to skip under docks, branches, and laydowns where big bass lurk.
The plastic material contains crustacean parts that fish eaters love, while the 20% salt ultra-soft material is strong and holds hooks well when fished alone or on the back of a jig. The extra-thick body and tip of the tail are the same thickness, but the tail itself is ultra-thin to give strong vibration and butterfly action when you move your rod. It reacts quickly to water currents and bottom changes, making it excellent for drift fishing and other methods that not everyone is trying.
