Specifications

The Lead Masters Swimbait Head in White is a purpose-built jig head for rigging paddle tail swimbaits, shad-style soft plastics, and large swimbait trailers across freshwater and saltwater applications. Features Mustad hooks — one of the most trusted hook brands in fishing — and a durable white powder coat finish that provides a natural baitfish belly profile that doesn’t distract from the swimbait trailer’s action and color. The white head is most effective in clear water where fish can inspect the jig head closely and a natural, understated head color is preferred. Hook size scales with weight across 9 sizes from 3/16 oz to 3 oz. 2 per pack.

Key Features

• Mustad Hooks — Trusted Hook Quality — Mustad is one of the most recognized and trusted hook manufacturers in fishing; Mustad hooks are known for consistent point sharpness, hook gap geometry, and wire strength; the Mustad hook on the Swimbait Head White provides reliable hooksets on paddle tail swimbait presentations across freshwater and saltwater species.
• White Powder Coat — Natural Baitfish Profile — The white powder coat provides a more durable finish than standard paint and mimics the belly color of anchovy, sardine, and other common baitfish; the white head is most effective in clear water where fish can inspect the jig head closely and a natural, low-visibility head color is preferred over a painted or colored head; the white head also functions as a neutral base that complements any swimbait trailer color without competing with the trailer’s action.
• Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight across the full range: 2/0 for the 3/16–3/8 oz, 3/0 for the 1/2 oz, 4/0 for the 3/4–1 oz, and 6/0 for the 1.5–3 oz; matching hook size to swimbait size ensures the hook point exits at the correct position in the bait for a reliable hookset.
• Wide Weight Range — 3/16 oz to 3 oz — Nine weight options from 3/16 oz to 3 oz cover a wide range of depth, current, and swimbait size requirements; lighter weights (3/16–3/8 oz) for shallow water and finesse swimbait presentations, mid weights (1/2–3/4 oz) for versatile inshore and freshwater applications, and heavier weights (1–3 oz) for deeper water, stronger current, and larger swimbaits.
• Freshwater & Saltwater — Effective across both freshwater and saltwater applications; the full weight range covers freshwater bass swimbait fishing through inshore and surf swimbait presentations for Calico Bass, Halibut, and other saltwater species.
• 2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack; provides a backup when fishing structure where snags and losses are common.

Size Selection Guide

Best For

• Paddle Tail & Shad-Style Swimbaits — The primary application; rig a paddle tail swimbait or shad-style soft plastic on the swimbait head and retrieve steadily to activate the trailer’s tail kick; the white head provides a natural base that lets the swimbait’s color and action do the work without a distracting painted head color.
• Clear Water — Natural Presentation — The white head is most effective in clear water where fish can inspect the jig head closely; the natural white color mimics the belly of common baitfish and doesn’t alert fish to the presence of the jig head the way a brightly colored head might in clear water conditions.
• Calico Bass & Inshore Saltwater — Effective for Calico Bass, Halibut, and inshore species with paddle tail swimbaits; the white head is a proven inshore swimbait head color in clear water conditions around kelp and structure.
• Freshwater Bass Swimbait Fishing — Lighter weights (3/16–3/8 oz) for freshwater bass swimbait fishing with small to mid-size paddle tails; the white head is a proven swimbait head color for clear water bass fishing where a natural, low-visibility head is preferred.

SPRO Prime Snap Mini gives you a quick, secure lure connection without tying a new knot every time you change baits. Its compact stainless-steel design helps keep the connection tidy, while the 90-degree wire ends create a sleek profile. Swap lures faster and spend more time fishing.

Change Lures Without Rebuilding Your Rig

Choose the Mini when you want a small snap for changing lures while retaining their movement. It is a practical alternative to repeatedly cutting and retying your leader. If you need a higher-strength snap for larger presentations, compare the SPRO Prime Snap instead.

Best For

• Quick lure changes during freshwater fishing.
• Presentations where a compact connection and lure movement matter.
• Matching a snap to the strength of your setup, from the listed 10 lb through 30 lb sizes.

Key Features

• Stainless-steel construction.
• Wire ends bent at 90 degrees for a sleek connection.
• Six snaps per pack.
• Four listed size and strength options.

Models & Specs

The Right Pick If...

You change lures often and want a compact snap instead of retying for each switch. Select a size appropriate for your line, leader and fishing conditions. A snap does not replace a swivel when line twist is the issue; consider a SPRO Power Swivel Standard for that job.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check that the snap is fully closed after each lure change.
• Inspect the wire for damage or distortion before your next cast.
• Use the smallest listed size that still suits the strength demands of your setup.

FAQ

Which sizes are offered? The listed options are size 0 (10 lb), size 1 (15 lb), size 2 (20 lb), and size 4 (30 lb).

Is this a snap swivel? This listing is for a snap, not a swivel. If your rig needs line-twist control, add an appropriate swivel separately.

The Deps Buzzjet Wakebait is one of the most versatile and effective lures on the market today! The Deps Buzzjet can do it all. Walk it, rip it, crank it or wake it, the fish don't care cause all they want to do is SMASH IT! The unique lip design enables this bait to push copious amounts of water, giving the Buzzjet a one of a kind wake. The prop leaves a tantalizing trail of bubbles which, when combined with the Deps Buzzjet's unique lip, will call fish up from serious distances!

The Deps Buzzjet has an angry action that calls fish. The topwater bait has been revolutionized with the design of the Buzzjet. The erratic action and sound can attract fish from deeper depths and it can still be fished effectively in rough water thanks to the huge drawing power of the bait. This is not just a noisy lure, it was designed for those who want to catch a giant bass on topwater.

Here at Tackle Express, we have caught hundreds of bass over the years on this bait.  From small ponds to larger bodies of water, it just works.  It's one of those lures that has a certain something about it that causes fish to strike.  For another great bait, see the Deps Spiral Minnow, it's equally as good but has a different action.  Sometimes one works better than the other so our suggestion is to get one of each.

• LENGTH: 96mm (3.77 in)
• WEIGHT: 30.0g. (1.05 oz)

High Temperature Caution

Take caution to where you store your baits as they can become deformed or cracked due to the expansion of the air during high temperatures. Keep them out of direct sunlight and in hot places like the inside of vehicles or tackle boxes stored during the warmer months as we are not responsible for damages caused due to storing lures in high temperatures.

Lucky Craft Pointer 100 SP is a 100mm suspending jerkbait rated for a running depth of 4–5 feet. Its side-to-side action and pause make it a practical choice for working a baitfish presentation above shallow cover or around fish feeding higher in the water column.

Features and uses

• Suspending design: Lets you work pauses into the retrieve.
• Low center of balance: Supports the Pointer's wobble and rolling action as the retrieve stops.
• 100mm profile: A step up in length from the Pointer 78 when you want a larger baitfish presentation.

Specifications

• Model: Pointer 100 SP
• Length: 100mm (approximately 4 inches)
• Manufacturer-listed weight: 5/8 oz (16.5g)
• Type: Suspending jerkbait
• Rated depth: 4–5 feet

Choosing a color

Use the selector to choose Aurora Black, Ghost Minnow, Large Mouth Bass, Clear Lake Hitch, or Chartreuse Shad. Start with a pattern that resembles local forage, then compare a more contrasting option when the bait is difficult to see. Color is one variable to test alongside retrieve speed and pause length.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Check the pause beside you. Watch the lure with your actual line and connection hardware before casting. Adjust your presentation to how it behaves in that water.
2. Vary the cadence deliberately. Begin with two short twitches and a pause. Change the pause length first so you can tell which adjustment produces a response.
3. Plan around the rated depth. Work it above cover with enough clearance for the hooks. If your target requires a deeper presentation, compare a model designed for that depth.

Frequently asked questions

What does SP mean?

SP identifies this as the suspending model.

How deep does the Pointer 100 SP run?

Lucky Craft lists 4–5 feet. Treat that as a rating rather than an exact depth on every cast; your tackle and retrieve affect the presentation.

Is this the Pointer 100XD?

No. This listing is for the standard Pointer 100 SP. Check the exact model when comparing deeper-running versions.

How should I retrieve it?

Try short rod twitches separated by pauses. Let fish response guide the cadence instead of committing to one speed for the entire outing.

Why Buy the Yamamoto Zako Swimbait?

The Yamamoto Zako Swimbait was designed by Bassmaster Elite Series angler Brett Hite — and it's his personal go-to as a swimbait trailer on chatterbaits and as a standalone flip bait. Every design detail on the Zako was intentional: accordion-style tail cuts and a flanged tail keep the action tight and realistic, mimicking an actual baitfish rather than producing the exaggerated thump of a standard paddle tail. A center rigging line on the top of the bait ensures you're always rigged dead center, so the Zako runs true on every cast. 8 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A pro-designed soft swimbait built for chatterbait trailers and flip presentations — its accordion-style tail cuts and flanged tail produce a tight, realistic baitfish action that improves hookset ratios (the tail folds in on itself when fish bite) and runs true every time thanks to a built-in center rigging line.

Problem It Solves

Standard paddle tail swimbaits produce an exaggerated thump that can be too much action for pressured fish, and their soft tails often fold over during the hookset, reducing hookup ratios. The Zako's accordion-style tail cuts keep the action tight and natural, while the tail's design causes it to fold in on itself when a fish bites — improving hookset ratios significantly over standard swimbait trailers.

Advantages

• ✅ Designed by Bassmaster Elite angler Brett Hite — tournament-proven design
• ✅ Accordion-style tail cuts — tight, realistic baitfish action (not an exaggerated thump)
• ✅ Flanged tail — minimal, natural action that mimics real baitfish movement
• ✅ Tail folds in on itself when fish bite — improved hookset ratios over standard swimbaits
• ✅ Center rigging line on top — always rig dead center for a true-running presentation
• ✅ Versatile — chatterbait trailer, swim jig trailer, flip bait, swimbait head
• ✅ 8 proven color options across natural and reaction shades
• ⚠️ Tight action profile — not designed for maximum thump; choose a standard paddle tail if you need more vibration

When to Choose It

Reach for the Zako when you need a swimbait trailer with a tight, realistic baitfish action rather than an exaggerated thump — especially on chatterbaits and swim jigs in clear to lightly stained water where a natural profile gets more bites. It's equally effective as a standalone flip bait when bass are keying on baitfish in and around cover.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Chatterbait Trailer — Brett Hite's primary use; pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz chatterbait for a tight, baitfish-style action that complements the blade's vibration without overpowering it
• Swim Jig Trailer — pin onto a 3/8–1/2 oz swim jig for a natural swimming presentation through grass edges, laydowns, and open water
• Flip Bait — Texas-rig on a 3/0–4/0 EWG hook and flip into docks, laydowns, and sparse cover; the center rigging line ensures the bait runs true on every pitch
• Swimbait Head — thread onto a 1/4–3/8 oz swimbait head for a standalone swimming presentation; the tight tail action is most effective on a slow, steady retrieve
• Underspin Trailer — pin onto an underspin jig head for a baitfish-style presentation over deep structure and open water

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where a tight, natural baitfish action outperforms exaggerated thump
• Grass edges, laydowns, docks, and open water on chatterbait and swim jig
• Post-spawn and summer when bass are keying on baitfish in open water
• Any depth — equally effective shallow on chatterbait and deep on swimbait head
• Year-round — especially effective in summer and fall when bass are schooling on shad

Tackle Express Tips

1. Use the center line — every time — The Zako's center rigging line on the top of the bait is one of its most underrated features. Always align your hook point with this line before rigging — it takes 5 seconds and guarantees the bait runs true on every cast. A bait that runs slightly off-center will spiral and kill the action.
2. Electric Shad for open water, Green Pumpkin Black Flake for cover — Electric Shad (#973) and Chartreuse Shad Laminate (#909) are your go-to reaction colors for open water and schooling situations. Switch to Green Pumpkin Black Flake (#297) or Green Pumpkin & White Laminate (#981) when flipping into cover or fishing grass edges where a more natural profile gets more bites.
3. Slow down on the chatterbait — The Zako's tight tail action is most effective at a slow to medium retrieve speed. Resist the urge to burn it — a slow, steady retrieve keeps the tail working naturally and gives bass more time to track and commit to the bait. If fish are short-striking, slow down before switching colors.

FAQ

Q: Why does the Zako have accordion-style tail cuts instead of a standard paddle tail?
A: Brett Hite specifically designed the accordion-style cuts to keep the tail action tight and realistic — mimicking the subtle, natural movement of an actual baitfish rather than the exaggerated thump of a standard paddle tail. The cuts also allow the tail to fold in on itself when a fish bites, which significantly improves hookset ratios compared to a rigid paddle tail.

Q: What chatterbait weight works best with the Zako?
A: A 3/8 oz chatterbait is the standard pairing for most situations — it gives the Zako enough speed to produce action without overpowering the tight tail movement. Move to a 1/2 oz in deeper water (10ft+) or when you need to cover water faster. The Zako's tight action works at any retrieve speed, but shines on a slow to medium retrieve.

Q: Can the Zako be fished as a standalone swimbait without a jig or chatterbait?
A: Yes — thread it onto a 1/4–3/8 oz swimbait head or underspin jig head for a standalone presentation. The center rigging line ensures it runs true, and the tight tail action is very effective on a slow, steady retrieve over deep structure and open water where bass are keying on baitfish.

 SEAGUAR ABRAZX
Seaguar Abrazx Fluorocarbon Fishing Line has unparalleled abrasion resistance and amazing knot strength.  We love it when fishing around cover that is sharp and can cause abrasion to your line.  Increased exposure to abrasion will cause your line to break under its original line strength.  We find it great for jigs, flipping, bottom fishing, and many other conditions.

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

Key Features

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

Color Selection Guide

Best For

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

The Owner Cultiva Mira Shad is a 2" forage-size suspending crankbait that consistently outfishes larger presentations when fish are locked on small baitfish. With Cultiva's exclusive Living Eyes, chattering rattles, and a transparent holographic finish that throws flash from every angle, it looks alive in the water — and it fishes just as lively. Deadly on trout, bass, and walleye from the moment you tie it on.

Two Inches of Trouble

Don't let the size fool you. At 1/7 oz and 2", the Mira Shad matches the fry and small shad profile that trout and pressured bass key on when nothing else is working. It suspends neutrally at 4–5 ft on the pause, which means it sits right in the feeding lane and won't move until you tell it to. Two #10 Owner Stinger-36 Super Needle Point trebles are factory-rigged and sharp enough to stick on the lightest touch.

When Big Baits Get Ignored

On heavily pressured water — stocked trout lakes, clear reservoirs, tournament-fished bass fisheries — fish get educated fast. They've seen 3" and 4" jerkbaits all season. The Mira Shad's forage-sized profile slips under their guard. Combined with the chattering rattle and holographic flash, it triggers reaction strikes even from fish that have shut down on standard presentations.

What Sets It Apart

• Cultiva Living Eyes — High-contrast, realistic eyes add a focal point that draws strikes from reactive fish
• Transparent Holographic Finish — Reflects light from multiple angles; mimics the iridescent flank of a small shad or fry
• Chattering Rattles — Internal sound chamber calls fish in from distance, especially effective in stained water
• Neutral Suspension — Holds at 4–5 ft on the pause; doesn't rise or sink out of the strike zone
• Owner Stinger-36 Trebles — Two #10 Super Needle Point hooks; razor-sharp right out of the package
• Forage-Size Profile — 2" matches fry, small shad, and juvenile baitfish that pressured fish prefer

The Right Pick If…

• Fish are ignoring larger jerkbaits or crankbaits
• You're fishing stocked trout lakes or clear reservoirs with heavy pressure
• You need to match a small shad, fry, or juvenile baitfish hatch
• You want one bait that works both on a cast-and-retrieve and behind a slow troll
• Walleye or bass are suspending at 4–5 ft and need a finesse presentation

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jerk-pause — Two quick twitches, pause 3–5 seconds; the suspend does the work on neutral fish
• Slow troll — 1–2 mph behind a kayak or electric motor; dives to 4–5 ft and tracks true
• Cast and steady retrieve — Works as a shallow crankbait when fish are actively feeding
• Deadstick pause — In cold water, extend the pause to 10+ seconds; motionless suspension triggers lockjaw trout and bass

Best Conditions

• Clear water where flash and detail trigger strikes at range
• Cold water (fall through spring) when fish need a smaller, slower target
• Stocked trout fisheries where fish are conditioned to small forage
• Early morning and evening when fish move shallow to the 4–5 ft range

Best For

Tackle Express Tips

• Use light line. 4–6 lb fluorocarbon is the sweet spot — it lets the bait suspend true, dive to full depth, and stays nearly invisible. Heavy line kills the action and floats the bait out of the zone.
• Try it for trout behind a kayak. A slow 1–1.5 mph troll with the Mira Shad in Brown Trout or Shiner colors over weed edges is devastatingly effective on planted trout in clear lakes.
• Slow the pause down when it's cold. Below 50°F, count to 10 after each twitch. Trout and bass in cold water need the bait to sit still longer before they commit — most anglers don't wait long enough.

FAQ

Q: Is this the same as the Rip'n Minnow 65?
A: No — the Mira Shad is smaller (2" vs. 2.5") and lighter (1/7 oz vs. 1/4 oz), and it's a more finesse-oriented profile. Both suspend, but the Mira Shad is built specifically to match fry and small shad, making it a better choice when fish are keyed on very small forage.

Q: Can I use this for walleye?
A: Absolutely. The Mira Shad is an excellent slow-troll walleye lure. Run it at 1–2 mph behind a slow-rolling boat or kayak at 4–5 ft over weed flats and sand transitions. Brown Trout and Gold Shiner colors work particularly well.

Q: What line should I use?
A: 4–6 lb fluorocarbon. It lets the bait reach its full depth rating, maintains neutral suspension, and is practically invisible in the clear water where this bait performs best. Avoid heavy mono — it floats the nose up and kills the suspending action.
