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
• Out-Barb Hook Design: Prevents puncturing the hollow body for longer-lasting durability
• Premium Japanese Construction: Durable hollow body built for heavy cover fishing
• Weedless Design: Glides over lily pads, matted vegetation, and thick slop
• Compact Profile: 2.5" size perfect for bass of all sizes

Specifications:

• Length: 2.5 inches
• Weight: 1/2 oz
• Type: Hollow body topwater frog
• Legs: Real rabbit fur
• Target Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pike

Retrieve Techniques:

• Walk-the-Dog: Side-to-side action across open pockets
• Popping Retrieve: Sharp pops to create spitting and splashing
• Steady Crawl: Slow, steady retrieve over matted vegetation
• Stop-and-Go: Pause over openings to trigger strikes
• Aggressive Burn: Fast retrieve for reaction strikes

Ideal Applications:

• Lily pads and matted vegetation
• Thick slop and heavy cover
• Weed edges and pockets
• Shallow flats with vegetation
• Around docks and laydowns

When you need a topwater frog that can handle the thickest cover and trigger explosive strikes from bass buried in vegetation, the Deps Buster K delivers the innovative design and premium quality that serious frog fishermen demand.

Lucky Craft Pointer SP 65 Jerkbait

Small profile. Big action. The Lucky Craft Pointer SP 65 is the compact workhorse of the legendary Pointer lineup — a 2.5" suspending jerkbait engineered with a specially designed brass weight system that creates an exceptionally low center of gravity. The result is a bait that doesn't just pause — it wobbles and vibrates in place, emitting a subtle bass-calling vibration that draws strikes from fish that have ignored everything else.

Work it with a steady retrieve and it dives to 4–5 feet. Stop it, and it suspends perfectly in the strike zone. A short twitch of the rod tip generates a fluid, darting walk-the-dog action underwater that mimics a fleeing baitfish with uncanny realism. Whether you're matching small shad, minnows, or other compact forage, the Pointer 65 is the right tool for the job — and it comes with hooks ready to fish.

Features

• Brass weight system creates ultra-low center of gravity for wobble-and-vibrate on pause
• Suspending design stays locked in the strike zone at 4–5 feet
• Short rod twitch generates underwater walk-the-dog action
• Compact 2.5" profile — ideal for matching small baitfish and finesse situations
• Comes with hooks included

Specs

• Length: 2.5" (6.5 cm)
• Weight: 3/16 oz (5 g)

SPRO RkCrawler 55 Crankbait is made for anglers who want a wide-wobbling crankbait to work through rocky cover. Designed by Mike McClelland, it has a hunting action and is intended to bounce off cover, giving you a way to change direction and trigger a reaction as the lure deflects. Cast beyond the rocks, keep contact, and let the bait do its work.

Let the Rocks Change the Retrieve

A straight retrieve does not always get attention. The RkCrawler's wide wobble and cover-deflecting action give bass a moving target that changes course around structure. It is a better fit when you want that lively action near rocks than a tighter-wobbling crankbait such as the SPRO Little John 50 or the Little John MD 50. Choose the other bait by the depth you need to reach; a running-depth specification for this RkCrawler listing is not provided.

Best For

• Freshwater bass fishing around rocky cover.
• Cranking into suitable structure to create deflections.
• Anglers who want a wider wobble and hunting action.

Key Features

• Mike McClelland-designed crankbait.
• Wide-wobbling, hunting action.
• Designed to bounce off rocky cover.
• 26 listed color options.

How to Fish It

Cast beyond a rocky stretch and retrieve so the bait reaches and deflects off suitable cover. Try a brief pause after contact, then resume cranking. Adjust retrieve speed to suit the spot and check your line for wear after repeated rock contact. For a line option designed with abrasion resistance in mind, see SPRO Gouken Fluorocarbon.

Tackle Express Tips

• Make casts from different angles to change how the bait meets the rocks.
• Watch for a strike just after a deflection or pause.
• Inspect your line and hooks regularly around abrasive cover.

FAQ

What action does the RkCrawler 55 have? The existing listing describes a wide wobble with hunting action.

What cover is it designed around? The product copy emphasizes bouncing off rocks and other suitable cover.

What depth does it run? A running-depth figure is not given in the current product details; choose your line and retrieve for the water you fish.

P-Line Laser Minnow has a very distinctive fall which triggers a bite from a wide variety of fish.  Simply drop it down and either wind it back at a fast pace, or pop the rod tip up and down. 

It can also be cast and retrieved like a spoon or surface iron.  Simple wind it back at a steady retrieve, too fast and it will wash out.  Too slow and it will have a lazy wander to it.

The finish is holographic and has a realistic eye to fool hungry fish into biting.  Putting a snap on the tie point will give it better action allowing it to more freely move through the water.  You can take off the stock hook and rig it with a single hook or assist hooks from the top or bottom ring.  Tying to the side with the eye and putting the assist hooks on the same side will help prevent snags when fishing the bottom.

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.

The Dobyns Skirted Football Jigs give your freshwater tackle box a carefully built football-jig option in a convenient three-pack. Each jig is hand-tied with a custom-colored skirt that combines round rubber and silicone, then finished with a Gamakatsu 604 round bend hook and a four-barb bait keeper to help hold your trailer in place.

A Hand-Tied Jig with a Purpose

These are not generic, one-color jigs. The custom skirt combinations give you a range of looks to match your water and presentation, while the football-jig profile keeps the focus on a controlled, bottom-oriented fishing approach.

Keep the Trailer Locked In

A good trailer is only useful if it stays where you put it. Each Dobyns jig includes a special four-barb bait keeper designed to hold the trailer in place, so you can spend more time fishing and less time resetting the bait.

Why This Three-Pack Earns a Spot

• Hand-tied construction: Each jig is assembled with a custom-colored skirt.
• Two skirt materials: The skirt combines round rubber and silicone.
• Trusted hook design: Built around the Gamakatsu 604 round bend jig hook.
• Trailer security: The four-barb bait keeper helps hold trailers in place.
• Useful pack size: Each package includes three jigs.

The Right Pick If...

Choose the Dobyns Football Jigs when you want a hand-tied football-jig presentation, multiple color choices, and a trailer keeper built into the jig. The available 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz sizes keep the selection simple: choose the weight that fits your setup, then choose the skirt color that matches your conditions.

What It Does Well, and What to Keep in Mind

The strength of this jig is its focused design: hand-tied skirts, a specified Gamakatsu hook, and a four-barb keeper in a ready-to-fish three-pack. The main buying decision is whether the football-jig profile and available weights fit the presentation you want, rather than treating it as a one-size-fits-everything jig.

Best Techniques and Conditions

The current listing is categorized for freshwater fishing and built around football-jig applications. Use it when a skirted jig presentation and the football-jig profile make sense for your setup. Specific target species are not identified in the current product data, so match the selected size and color to your local water, forage, and tackle.

Best For

• Freshwater football-jig presentations
• Anglers who want hand-tied skirts instead of a plain, mass-produced look
• Trailer-based jig setups that benefit from a four-barb keeper
• Keeping multiple colors and spare jigs ready in one three-pack

The Owner ST-35 is the short shank treble hook that belongs on your crankbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater lures. A wider 150° gap opens the hook's catching window, the short shank keeps it from raking up your bait's finish, and the combination of Owner's Super Needle Point and Silky Gray Finish makes it about as sticky as a treble hook gets. Fewer follows that don't convert. Fewer fish that shake off at the boat. More fish in the net.

Short Shank. Wide Gap. Sticky Point.

The ST-35 is engineered around three specific improvements over a standard treble. The short shank reduces the leverage a fish has to throw the hook and prevents the hook from digging into and scuffing the body of hard baits during casts and retrieves. The 150° gap is wider than a standard treble, which means the hook point reaches fish faster on a strike. The Silky Gray Finish reduces friction on entry so the Super Needle Point drives home on light contact without needing a hard hookset.

Why Standard Factory Trebles Cost You Fish

Factory trebles on most production crankbaits and jerkbaits are value-engineered — adequate enough to ship, not optimal enough to keep every fish you hit. Points dull after a few trips, the finish corrodes, and the gap geometry wasn't designed for the specific lure it came on. The ST-35 is a purpose-built replacement: sharper out of the box, stays sharper longer, and the 150° gap is designed to maximize hook contact on reaction strikes where the fish doesn't fully commit.

What Sets Them Apart

• Short Shank Design — Reduces hook rash on bait bodies; less leverage for fish to throw the hook mid-fight
• 150° Wide Gap — Wider catching window than standard trebles; hooks fish that barely touch the bait
• Super Needle Point — Owner's sharpest point; drives home on the lightest contact without a power hookset
• Silky Gray Finish — Frictionless coating reduces resistance on entry; works with the needle point instead of against it
• Forged Construction — Holds its shape under the sustained pressure of hard-fighting fish
• Sizes #6 through 2/0 — Covers the full range from finesse jerkbaits to larger swimbaits and saltwater plugs

The Right Pick If…

• You're replacing dull or corroded factory trebles on crankbaits or jerkbaits
• You want a shorter shank that won't dig into your bait's paint or holographic finish
• You're losing fish at the boat due to hook throws on standard gap trebles
• You fish fast reaction baits where a sticky point on light contact makes the difference
• You fish saltwater and need a finish that resists corrosion between trips

Best Fishing Techniques

• Crankbait fishing — replace all factory trebles before the season; Size #4–6 for most bass cranks
• Jerkbait fishing — short shank reduces hook fouling between front and rear hooks on pauses
• Topwater walking baits — wide gap increases hook contact on explosive surface strikes
• Hard swimbaits — Size 1–2/0 for larger profiles; short shank keeps the hook tight to the bait body
• Inshore saltwater plugs — for snook, redfish, and speckled trout on hard baits

Best Conditions

• Clear water — Silky Gray Finish is low-profile and doesn't flash or spook wary fish
• Reaction bite fishing — fast strikes where the fish barely mouths the bait; wide gap and needle point close the deal
• Saltwater inshore — finish holds up against corrosion better than standard plated trebles
• Tournament fishing — upgrade your whole crankbait box before the season; hooks are the cheapest upgrade with the highest return

Best For

• Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass (crankbaits, jerkbaits, topwater)
• Spotted Bass on finesse hard baits (Size #6)
• Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout on inshore plugs (Size 1–2/0)
• Striped Bass on large hard swimbaits
• Any hard bait application where hook quality directly affects conversion rate

Tackle Express Tips

• Match size to the split ring, not the lure body. The hook gape needs to clear the lure body during a strike without the shank fouling. On most standard bass crankbaits, Size #4 is the correct fit. Size #6 for smaller finesse cranks; Size #2 or larger for magnum crankbaits and swimbaits.
• Re-hook your whole box at the start of the season. If you're still running factory trebles from last year, you're fishing with dull hooks. ST-35s are inexpensive enough to re-hook your entire hard bait collection at the start of the season — and the difference in conversion rate on reaction strikes is immediate.
• Check points after every rocky bottom contact. The Super Needle Point is sharp but thin. A single hard strike against a rock can roll the tip. Run your thumbnail across each point after fishing rocky cover — if it doesn't drag, swap it.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the ST-35 and a standard Owner treble?
A: The ST-35 has a shorter shank and a wider 150° gap compared to standard treble geometry. The shorter shank reduces hook rash on the bait and gives fish less leverage to throw the hook. The wider gap increases the catching window on reaction strikes. The Silky Gray Finish is specific to the ST-35 and reduces entry friction on hooksets.

Q: Can these be used in saltwater?
A: Yes. The Silky Gray Finish provides reasonable corrosion resistance for inshore saltwater use. Rinse your lures with fresh water after each saltwater trip to extend hook life.

Q: How do I know if my hooks need replacing?
A: The thumbnail test — drag the hook point across your thumbnail with light pressure. A sharp hook will catch and drag slightly. A dull hook will slide across without catching. If it slides, it's time to replace. Don't wait until you're losing fish to check.
