Freshwater Fishing Tackle – Rods, Reels & Gear

The Megabass IXI Shad Type 3 Crankbaits  is a collaboration between Katsutaka Imae, the founder of Imakatsu, and Yuki Ito, the founder of Megabass. Megabass IXI Shad Type 3 are the next generation compact shad crankbait that reflects the combined expertise of Japan's foremost lure designers and anglers. Incorporating the LBO Balancer System, the type-3 casts surprisingly well for its size, with an exceeding realistic, compact profile, and dazzlingly tight, hyper-pitch rolling action. The Type 3 elevates the performance of past shad-plug staples. 

The Type 3 features the greatest depth of the series with its ability to trace a maximum depth of 9-10ft, but can also preform exceptionally well in the shallower 4-5ft range due to its deflection characteristics. The design minimizes snags in the shallows and perfects the aggressive deflection that triggers bites in and around pock and structure.

The Daiwa Coastal SV TW 80 Casting Reels were designed with its advanced Hyper Drive Design. 

Our Hyper Drive Design is comprised of four key technologies- Hyper Drive, Digigear, Hyper Double Support, Hyper Armed Housing and Hyper Tough Clutch.

HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR- a brand-new gear design makes the teeth of the gears more efficient at transferring power, therefore making the gear set feel smoother, more powerful and also reducing gear noise.

HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT- a two bearing support system for the reel's pinion gear means no flex and an ultra smooth retrieve/ gear rotation.

HYPER ARMED HOUSING- the reel features an aluminum frame and sideplate for maximum rigidity and precision performance of the internal components.

HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH- a redesigned and reinforced clutch mechanism increases durability and performance.

Another bonus for the Coastal 80 is it’s UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag) system, which includes impregnated drag discs that are about 30 times more durable than typical discs, considerably increasing the effective drag power while also reducing start-up resistance.

The G-Ratt Baits Poppa Pete Swimbaits are a silent slow sinking glide bait weighing 5 Ounces and 10 inches in length equipped with heavy-duty hardware, size 2/0 hooks, and rotating hangers. The tails are easily replaceable. Papa Pete has a nice wide glide on slow reel cranks and then can be fished fast for an erratic baitfish action and sinks extremely slow in a level position.

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 Bottom Dweller Swimbait Shiner6 is a 6" slotted swimbait that best imitates your local bait-fish. An extremely soft but durable plastic with a memorizing action triggering giant bites and lasting through each fight. The Shiner6 is a soft bait with everything you're looking for in one from the head wobble, to the body roll, the hard thumping tail and tracking abilities at all speeds.

This bait is RIG & THROW.

We recommend 15-20lb fluorocarbon line & Owner's 6/0 - 8/0 Beast Hook for best results.

The bait weighs approximately 2oz, and requires stout hooks and line. Please throw on an appropriate 7'+ H-XH rod.

1 bait per pack.

The Deps Lure Sleeve is a sleeve for storing your swimbaits and keeping them safe and straight.  It is perfect for big baits that don't fit in a tackle box, or for shore fishermen who carry a small amount of lures in their bag and run around the field.  The  Deps Lure Sleeve can be easily inserted and removed by pressing both ends of the sleeve and opening the mouth.  

We love it because it keeps the tail and fins straight so the bait swims correct.  If just a little bend in a tail happens, the bait will not swim right.  It also keeps the paint from being scratched by other baits or hooks.  The clear plastic allows you to see quickly which bait is which.  This is a must have for all brands of baits. 

Comes 3 to a pack.
