The Walking Bait That Doesn't Walk Like the Rest

The River2Sea Rover is one of the most distinctive topwater walking baits on the market — and it's been proving itself on bass, pike, and stripers for years. Designed by B.A.S.S. and MLF Pro Scott Martin, the Rover doesn't glide side-to-side like a traditional walking bait. Instead, its exaggeratedly cupped mouth and unique body geometry produce a choppy, slashing action that triggers reaction strikes from fish that have seen every other topwater in the box.

A Walk Unlike Any Other

Most walking baits produce a smooth, predictable glide. The Rover's cupped mouth catches water on each twitch, creating an erratic, aggressive side-to-side slash that mimics a wounded baitfish struggling on the surface. That unpredictable action is exactly what triggers the competitive feeding instinct in bass — especially on pressured fisheries where fish have learned to ignore standard presentations.

When Standard Walking Baits Get Ignored

On heavily pressured lakes, bass see Zara Spooks and similar walking baits all day long. The Rover's choppy, slashing action looks and sounds different — different enough to draw strikes from fish that have shut down on everything else. When your go-to walking bait stops producing, tie on the Rover.

Two Sizes, One Action

The Rover comes in two sizes to match the forage and the fish. The Size 98 (3 7/8 in, 7/16 oz) is the finesse option — perfect for pressured fish, smaller forage, and medium-action gear. The Size 128 (5 in, 3/4 oz) is the big-water version — built for covering open flats, targeting larger fish, and throwing on heavier baitcasting tackle. Both are pre-rigged with premium Daiichi treble hooks and ready to fish out of the package.

The Right Pick If...

• Standard walking baits are getting ignored on pressured water
• You want a topwater with a more aggressive, erratic action
• You're targeting largemouth, smallmouth, pike, or striped bass on the surface
• You need a walking bait that casts well and covers water efficiently
• You want a Scott Martin-designed bait with a proven tournament track record

Best Retrieve Techniques

• Standard Walk: Rhythmic rod-tip twitches with a steady retrieve — the Rover's cupped mouth does the rest, producing its signature choppy slash
• Pause and Walk: Walk 3–5 times, pause, then walk again — the pause often triggers strikes from following fish
• Slow Walk: Slower cadence for finicky fish or cold-front conditions — the Size 98 excels here
• Fast Burn: Aggressive, rapid twitches to cover water quickly and trigger reaction strikes from aggressive fish

Best Conditions

• Calm to lightly choppy surface — the slashing action is most visible in calmer water
• Low-light periods — early morning and late evening when bass are most active on top
• Post-spawn through fall when bass are chasing baitfish on the surface
• Pressured fisheries where standard walking baits have been picked apart
• Open flats, points, and main lake structure where fish are feeding on top

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Pike, Striped Bass
• Techniques: Topwater Walking, Walk-the-Dog, Pause-and-Walk
• Conditions: Calm to choppy surface, low-light, post-spawn, pressured fisheries, summer and fall

Key Features

• Designed by B.A.S.S. and MLF Pro Scott Martin
• Exaggeratedly cupped mouth produces choppy, slashing walk-the-dog action
• Unique body geometry creates erratic, unpredictable surface presentation
• Pre-rigged with premium Daiichi treble hooks
• Available in 2 sizes — Size 98 (finesse) and Size 128 (big water)
• Wide range of proven color patterns
• Exceptional casting distance for a walking bait

Tackle Express Tips

• Size 98 for Finesse, Size 128 for Power: Use the 98 on spinning gear (10–15 lb braid + fluoro leader) for pressured fish and smaller forage. Use the 128 on a medium-heavy baitcaster with 20–30 lb braid when targeting bigger fish or covering open water.
• Match Color to Forage: Ghost Minnow, Crystal Minnow, and Horizon Shad excel in clear water with shad forage. Bluegill and Funky Tiger shine in bluegill-heavy fisheries. Chrome Black and T1000 are go-to low-light and stained-water colors.
• Use a Loop Knot: A Rapala loop knot gives the Rover maximum freedom of movement and enhances the cupped-mouth action, especially at slower retrieve speeds.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Size 98 and Size 128?
The Size 98 is 3 7/8 in and 7/16 oz — a finesse option ideal for pressured fish, spinning gear, and smaller forage. The Size 128 is 5 in and 3/4 oz — the big-water version for covering open flats and targeting larger fish on baitcasting tackle.

How is the Rover different from a standard walking bait like a Zara Spook?
The Rover's exaggeratedly cupped mouth creates a choppy, slashing action rather than a smooth glide. This more aggressive, erratic presentation is especially effective on pressured fish that have learned to ignore traditional walking baits.

What rod and line setup works best?
For the Size 98: a 6'10"–7'2" medium or medium-heavy spinning rod with 10–15 lb braid and a 10–12 lb fluorocarbon leader. For the Size 128: a 7'–7'6" medium-heavy baitcasting rod with 20–30 lb braid or monofilament.

The Yamamoto 6" Senko Worm gives bass anglers a larger stickbait profile while retaining the simple presentation that makes a Senko useful. Fish it weightless around shallow cover, rig it wacky over open pockets, or add a Texas-rig weight when you need more depth control. Each package contains 5 baits in your selected color.

Why choose the 6-inch Senko?

• A step up in size: Choose this model when you want more length than the standard 5-inch bait without stepping up to the 7-inch version.
• Salt-impregnated soft plastic: The bait's body contributes to its weightless fall, with subtle movement as it sinks.
• Several rigging options: Switch between Texas and wacky presentations to suit cover and how you want the worm to move.

Specifications

Choosing a color and rig

Green Pumpkin Black Flake is a useful natural-color starting point. Consider Natural Shad when matching pale baitfish, or Black with Large Blue Flake when you want a darker profile. Let water clarity and local forage guide your choice; no color is best everywhere.

Use a Texas rig with the point protected when working through cover. Wacky rigging leaves both ends free to move but can expose the hook to snags. Match the hook gap to the thicker body and check your rod's lure rating for the complete rig. For a smaller presentation, compare the 5-inch Senko.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Give the first fall time. After the cast, let the worm sink before adding action. Watch for the line jumping or moving sideways, then take up slack before setting the hook.
2. Keep a Texas-rigged worm straight. Mark the hook exit point against the body before threading it. A bowed or twisted worm can spin instead of falling cleanly.
3. Check your wacky-ring fit. Choose a ring or sleeve sized for this larger body. It should hold securely without cutting deeply into the plastic; inspect it after each fish.

Frequently asked questions

How many 6-inch Senkos are in a pack?

Each package contains five 6-inch soft baits in the selected color.

Can I fish it without a sinker?

Yes. A weightless presentation lets the bait sink on its own. Add weight when wind, current, or depth makes that presentation difficult to control.

Does the larger size guarantee larger bass?

No. The 6-inch size changes the profile you offer. Fish response depends on conditions, forage, location, and presentation.

What hook size does it need?

Choose a hook for your rig and check the actual gap against the bait. The plastic must clear the point during the hookset; size numbers vary between hook designs.

The Japanese made Fish Arrow Flash J Shad is a finesse bait in a category of its' own.  The sleek pin tail design with a foil insert gives this bait a lifelike appearance that fools fish into biting.  It has realistic eyes, detailed fish scale pattern, thin rear section for increased tail vibration, and a foil insert for a 3D effect.  There are many great colors to choose from to match the forage in your area.

Why Buy the Yamamoto 3.75" Shad Shape Worm?

The Yamamoto 3.75" Shad Shape Worm is a versatile finesse bait that combines the ribbed texture of a Senko with a realistic shad-like profile — a combination that was a proven fish-catcher in Japan long before its North American release. Its salt-impregnated body produces a smooth, natural fall rate that mimics small baitfish with uncanny realism, triggering strikes from finicky bass, smallmouth, largemouth, and walleye in clear water and high-pressure conditions. 10 per pack, 6 proven colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A 3.75-inch salt-impregnated shad-profile finesse bait with a ribbed Senko-style body — its smooth, natural fall rate and realistic baitfish silhouette trigger strikes on drop shot, darter head, shaky head, and fly-line presentations where standard finesse worms get ignored.

Problem It Solves

Standard finesse worms lack the baitfish profile needed to match the hatch in clear water where bass are keying on small shad and baitfish. The 3.75" Shad Shape Worm's shad silhouette and ribbed body produce a more realistic baitfish imitation than a straight-tail worm, while the salt-impregnated formula ensures a natural fall rate that keeps the bait in the strike zone longer.

Advantages

• ✅ Ribbed Senko-style body with shad profile — unique combination not found in standard finesse worms
• ✅ Salt-impregnated formula — smooth, natural fall rate; fish hold on longer
• ✅ Proven in Japan before North American release — tournament-tested design
• ✅ Versatile — drop shot, darter head, shaky head, fly-line, Neko rig
• ✅ Effective for bass, smallmouth, largemouth, and walleye
• ✅ 6 proven color options across natural and baitfish shades
• ✅ 10 per pack
• ⚠️ 3.75" profile — larger than the 3" Shad Shape Worm; choose based on forage size and water clarity

When to Choose It

Reach for the 3.75" Shad Shape Worm when bass are keying on medium-sized baitfish in clear water, when you need a finesse bait with more presence than the 3" but still want a natural, subtle presentation, or when drop shotting and darter heading in clear water and high-pressure fisheries. It's the go-to when a standard finesse worm isn't matching the forage and you need a more realistic baitfish profile.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–24" above the weight; the ribbed body and shad profile quiver and glide naturally in the strike zone; deadly on FFS targeting suspended fish
• Darter Head — thread onto a 1/16–1/8 oz darter head; the shad profile darts and glides on a twitching retrieve, mimicking a fleeing baitfish
• Shaky Head — thread onto a 3/16 oz shaky head for a stand-up presentation on hard bottom; the ribbed body quivers naturally on the pause
• Fly-Line (Mosquito Hook) — thread a #1 or #2 mosquito hook through the nose and twitch along the bottom on light fluorocarbon; the dying-baitfish action is irresistible in ultra-clear water
• Neko Rig — insert a 1/32 oz nail weight into the nose; the head-down fall and ribbed body quiver triggers strikes from finicky fish

Best Conditions

• Clear water (visibility 2ft+) where a realistic baitfish profile is critical
• Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days
• Heavily pressured tournament lakes and clear natural lakes
• Deep structure and suspended fish on drop shot and darter head
• Year-round — especially effective in summer and fall when bass are keying on medium-sized shad

Tackle Express Tips

1. Natural Shad for clear water, Watermelon w/ Black & Red Flake for stained — Natural Shad (#306) is your go-to in ultra-clear water where a realistic forage match is critical. Switch to Watermelon w/ Black & Red Flake (#208) when water clarity drops slightly, and use Baby Bass (#305) when smallmouth are targeting juvenile bass in clear lakes and rivers.
2. Darter head for active fish, drop shot for finicky fish — When bass are actively feeding and chasing baitfish, the darter head presentation — twitching the bait to dart and glide — triggers reaction strikes. When fish are finicky and holding tight to structure, switch to a drop shot and let the bait hang in the strike zone with minimal movement.
3. Downsize to the 3" in ultra-clear water — The 3.75" is the go-to when you need more presence than the 3" Shad Shape Worm, but if bites slow in ultra-clear water or post-frontal conditions, downsize to the 3" before changing colors or techniques. The smaller profile often triggers strikes from fish that have seen the larger bait.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 3.75" and 3" Shad Shape Worm?
A: The 3.75" has a larger shad profile that's more visible and matches medium-sized baitfish — ideal when bass are keying on larger forage or when you need more presence in the water. The 3" is the ultra-finesse option for ultra-clear water and heavily pressured fish where a smaller, more compact profile gets more bites. Start with the 3.75" in most situations and downsize to the 3" when conditions are toughest.

Q: What hook size works best for drop shotting the 3.75" Shad Shape Worm?
A: A #1 Gamakatsu or Owner drop shot hook works best. Nose-hook the bait for a horizontal, gliding presentation, or hook through the mid-body for a more vertical, quivering action. The #1 gives you the right hook gap for the 3.75" body without overpowering the subtle action.

Q: Is the 3.75" Shad Shape Worm good for walleye?
A: Yes — the shad profile and natural fall rate make it an excellent walleye bait on a darter head or drop shot. Natural Shad (#306) and Smoke/Black w/ Silver Flake are top walleye color picks. Fish it on a slow, twitching retrieve over structure for best results.

Lucky Craft Staysee 90 Jerkbait

Spawn season. Bass locked tight to their beds, wary of anything that moves too fast. This is where the Lucky Craft Staysee 90 was born to fish. Engineered specifically for slow, methodical presentations, the Staysee 90 creeps into the strike zone with a hypnotic pumping retrieve — then hangs there, motionless, long enough to irritate even the most stubborn bass into biting.

What makes the Staysee 90 truly unique is its tight rolling action, a product of its beautifully sculpted body shape and precisely angled lip. This subtle, lifelike vibration mimics the biomechanical movement of a real baitfish so convincingly that bass in medium-shallow water simply can't ignore it — without ever feeling spooked. No other jerkbait on the market can get this close to a bedding bass and still trigger a strike.

Features

• Tight rolling action from a precision-engineered body shape and lip angle
• Designed for slow pumping retrieve with extended pauses — ideal for bedding bass
• Biomechanical movement that attracts without alarming fish in clear, shallow water
• Suspending action keeps the bait perfectly in the strike zone
• Effective in medium-shallow water where other jerkbaits spook fish
• Premium Lucky Craft construction with durable, realistic finishes

The ChatterBait Mini features a hex-shaped ChatterBlade roughly the size of a nickel, which acts as a built-in weedguard to help the lure deflect off cover and navigate through vegetation. Its versatile design allows it to be worked at any depth, making it a "secret weapon" for pond fishing and targeting smallmouth, spotted bass, or white bass.

Key Features:

• Patented Direct Connection: Features Z-Man's signature head-to-blade connection for instant vibration and a hard-hitting side-to-side shimmy.

• Included Trailer: Each pack comes with a super-tough ElaZtech mini split-tail trailer already pre-rigged for immediate use.

• Customizable Action: For a different look, the skirt can be removed to rig up a soft plastic jerkbait or Slim SwimZ, which is highly effective for schooling fish.

• Multi-Species Appeal: While designed for bass, its smaller size is also deadly for large panfish, trout, and perch.

The Spro Rat 50 Wakebait is built for the topwater blowup every angler is chasing, scaled up for truly big fish. Two years in development and an ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category, the Rat triggers the instinctive, reaction strike that trophy predators can't pass up.

Why Big Fish Can't Leave It Alone

Fussy fish often ignore a bait that moves too clean or too predictably. The Rat's wake and kick mimic something struggling on the surface, which flips the switch from a fish watching to a fish striking. When they're actively feeding, this is the real meal deal they're looking for.

Built for Trophy-Sized Forage

At 10 inches overall, with a 5 1/4-inch body and a 4 3/4-inch custom articulating tail, the Rat 50 throws a big-fish profile most topwater baits can't match. The articulating tail adds a natural, separate kick behind the body, making it look like an easy, oversized meal to the biggest predators in the lake. It also carries the 2022 tail design refinement shared across the Rat lineup, and ships with sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks ready to fish.

One Bait, Five Retrieves

The Rat isn't a one-trick bait. Bulge it along just under the surface, v-wake it on a steady retrieve, walk the dog with sharp twitches, or pop it for a more aggressive commotion, covering several presentations with one lure in the box.

The Right Pick If...

You're specifically hunting trophy-class largemouth, striper, or other big predators that key in on large forage, and you want a floating bait that can draw a reaction strike from fish too big to care about a smaller presentation.

Best Techniques and Conditions

Works best in low light, early morning, and evening when big fish move shallow to feed on top, as well as any time larger baitfish or forage are active near the surface. Calm water shows off the articulating tail action most clearly, though a light chop can also trigger strikes from fish already keyed on the commotion.

Best For

• Trophy-class largemouth bass and striper hunting large topwater prey
• Early morning and evening surface bites
• Bulging, v-waking, walking the dog, or popping retrieves
• Anglers who want the largest, most imposing profile in the Rat lineup

Key Features

• ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category
• 10-inch overall length with a custom articulating tail
• Updated 2022 tail design for improved action
• Versatile action: bulge, v-wake, walk the dog, or pop
• Sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks standard

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Step down to the Spro Rat 40 or Spro Rat 30 when forage or target fish run smaller than trophy class.
• Match low light conditions, like early morning or dusk, with a natural pattern like Grey Ghost or Brown, and save brighter patterns like White for overcast or stained water.
• Upsize your rod and line for this bait's weight and the fish it's designed to draw, a 2.5 oz topwater calls for stouter gear than standard bass tackle.

FAQ

How big is the Rat 50 compared to the rest of the lineup?
It's the largest at 10 inches overall and 2.5 ounces, built specifically for trophy-class fish that key on large forage.

What does the articulating tail do?
It moves independently from the body, adding a separate kick that makes the bait look like a larger, more natural meal on the retrieve.

Does it come with hooks installed?
Yes, it ships rigged with sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks ready to fish.

The Zoom Horny Toad 4.25" is one of the most iconic topwater soft plastics in bass fishing — a streamlined frog body with two hard-kicking paddle legs that churn water, create noise, and trigger explosive blowups on a steady retrieve. Buzz it across lily pads, grass mats, and shallow flats, and the kicking legs do the work. The slim, weedless-friendly body casts long distances and comes through heavy vegetation without hanging up. Rig it on a wide-gap hook and retrieve steadily for maximum leg kick, or let it flutter just below the surface on the pause. Available in 8 colors.

Key Features

• Hard-Kicking Paddle Legs — Explosive Topwater Action — The Horny Toad’s two paddle-style legs kick hard on a steady retrieve, churning water and creating surface commotion that mimics a fleeing frog or baitfish skittering across the surface; the kicking action generates vibration, splash, and noise that draws bass from a distance and triggers reaction strikes; the leg action is most pronounced at a moderate-to-fast steady retrieve speed where both legs are continuously kicking.
• Streamlined Body — Long Casts & Weedless Through Cover — The slim, streamlined body casts long distances for covering water on shallow flats and along vegetation edges; the weedless-friendly profile comes through lily pads, grass mats, and shallow cover without hanging up, allowing the bait to be fished through the heaviest topwater cover where bass are holding.
• Versatile Topwater Presentation — Buzz it across the surface on a steady retrieve for maximum leg kick and surface commotion; slow down and let it flutter just below the waterline on the pause for a subsurface presentation that triggers strikes from bass that follow but don’t commit on the surface; also effective as a swim jig trailer for a kicking-leg subsurface presentation.
• Durable Zoom Plastic — Built from Zoom’s durable yet flexible plastic that withstands repeated strikes and maintains the leg action through extended use.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Lily Pads & Grass Mats — Topwater Cover Fishing — The primary application; buzz the Horny Toad across lily pad fields, grass mats, and shallow vegetation on a steady retrieve; the weedless body comes through cover without hanging up and the kicking legs create surface commotion that draws bass up through the vegetation for explosive blowups.
• Shallow Flats — Covering Water — The long-casting streamlined body covers shallow flats efficiently; effective for locating active bass on large shallow flats where covering water quickly is needed to find fish.
• Swim Jig Trailer — Subsurface Kicking Action — Thread the Horny Toad on the back of a swim jig for a subsurface kicking-leg presentation; the paddle legs produce the same kicking action below the surface that makes the Horny Toad effective on top, adding a unique action to the swim jig that a standard trailer cannot match.

The Z-Man Original ChatterBait is a versatile, tournament-winning lure that combines the flash of a spinnerbait, the vibration of a crankbait, and the profile of a jig into a single "fish-slaying package". It is known for its patented head-to-blade connection and signature hex-shaped blade, which produce an unmatched erratic action that triggers reaction bites from bass and other predatory fish.

Key Features & Design

• Intense Vibration: The trademarked hex-shaped blade pivots violently on the jig eyelet, creating a powerful thump you can feel throughout your retrieve.

• Snag-Resistant: The blade doubles as a weedguard, helping the lure deflect off wood and grass without getting hung up.

• Quality Hardware: Built with a custom 5/0 heavy-duty needlepoint hook designed for solid hooksets and durability.

• EZ Skirt® System: Features a quick-change silicone skirt that allows you to swap colors fast to match changing water conditions.

• Trailer Ready: Includes a molded-in bait keeper to lock soft plastic trailers securely on the hook shank.

Versatility & Use

Effective year-round but particularly excels in stained to muddy water and around cover like submerged vegetation or docks. It tracks straight without hydroplaning, making it easy to fish at various speeds and depths.

The Reaction Innovations Smallie Beaver 3.5" is a compact soft plastic creature bait for bass anglers who want to downsize their presentation. Use it on a Texas rig or as a finesse jig trailer when a larger bait adds more bulk than you need. Each package contains 10 baits in your selected color.

Why choose the Smallie Beaver?

• Compact Beaver profile: A smaller alternative to the Sweet Beaver for a more restrained offering.
• Ribbed body: Adds texture to the bait's profile while its appendages move as you work the rig.
• Trailer versatility: Pair it with a suitably sized finesse jig, keeping the hook gap clear of excess plastic.

Specifications

Choose your rig and color

Start with a Texas rig when you want to protect the hook point around cover, or add the bait to a finesse jig for a skirted presentation. Reaction Innovations also identifies the Smallie Beaver as a compact punching option; that application requires tackle suited to the cover, not simply a small bait.

Watermelon/Red or Watermelon/Green Pumpkin offers a natural-color starting point. Hematoma is an option when you want a darker profile, while White Trash provides a light-colored alternative. Use water visibility and local forage to guide your choice, then adjust based on fish response.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Size the hook to the body. Check that the plastic can compress away from the point. An oversized hook can overwhelm this compact bait, while too little gap can hinder the hookset.
2. Match the trailer to the jig. Hold the bait alongside the hook before threading it. Keep it centered and straight so it follows the jig without twisting.
3. Change one variable at a time. If you downsize to the Smallie Beaver, keep your initial color and presentation similar. That makes it easier to judge whether the smaller profile is helping before changing weight or retrieve.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Smallie Beaver only for smallmouth bass?

No. It is also a downsizing option for largemouth bass when you want a compact creature bait.

How many baits are in a pack?

This listing contains 10 Smallie Beaver soft baits per package in the selected color.

Can I use it as a jig trailer?

Yes. The manufacturer recommends it as a finesse jig trailer. Choose a jig whose hook and keeper fit the smaller body.

What weight should I use for a Texas rig?

Use enough weight to reach and control the bait in your chosen cover. Depth, current, line, and vegetation affect the choice; there is no single weight for every situation.

The 6th Sense Axis Metal 2.0 Squarebill Crankbait is built around a patent-pending pivoting metal lip that produces a fundamentally different action than any conventional squarebill — the Erratic Hunting Action (EHA) causes the bait to randomly hunt side-to-side as it dives to 2–5 feet, mimicking the unpredictable movement of a fleeing or disoriented baitfish rather than the predictable wobble of a standard crankbait. The 2.0 update adds a metal insert in the mouth of the bill for a louder underwater knock and increased durability, while a 10% smaller bill delivers a more stable, controlled action. 2.5", 1/2 oz, #2 treble hooks. 

• Patent-Pending Pivoting Metal Lip — The core innovation of the Axis Metal; unlike a fixed plastic bill, the metal lip pivots during the retrieve to produce random, unpredictable side-to-side hunting movement; the pivot mechanism allows the lip to deflect off cover and change direction erratically rather than tracking straight — triggering reaction strikes from bass that have seen every standard squarebill retrieve.
• Erratic Hunting Action (EHA) — The pivoting metal lip produces 6th Sense’s proprietary Erratic Hunting Action — a random, side-to-side hunting movement that mimics a disoriented or fleeing baitfish; the unpredictable action is the primary trigger for reaction strikes from bass holding on shallow cover and structure.
• 2.0 Upgrade: Metal Insert for Louder Knock — A metal insert has been added into the mouth of the metal bill in the 2.0 version; the insert produces a louder, more pronounced underwater knock during the retrieve that adds an acoustic trigger to the visual EHA action; also increases bill durability for extended use around rocks, wood, and hard cover.
• 2.0 Upgrade: 10% Smaller Bill for Stable Action — The 2.0 bill is 10% smaller than the original Axis Metal bill; the reduced bill size produces a more stable, controlled action that maintains the EHA hunting movement without the excessive rolling or blowout of the original at higher retrieve speeds.
• 2–5 Foot Depth Range — Dives to 2–5 feet on a standard retrieve; ideal depth range for shallow cover fishing — laydowns, dock posts, riprap, and shallow grass edges where bass hold in the 2–5 foot zone; the squarebill profile deflects off cover to trigger reaction strikes.
• 2.5" / 1/2 oz — #2 Treble Hooks — 2.5-inch body at 1/2 oz provides the casting weight needed to reach shallow cover targets accurately; premium #2 treble hooks sized for the body profile and the bass species targeted in the 2–5 foot depth range.

Color Guide

• Shad Burst — High-flash shad imitation with burst finish; effective in clear to lightly stained water when shad are the primary forage; flash and shad profile trigger reaction strikes from bass keying on baitfish in open water and over shallow flats.
• 4K Bluegill — Hyper-realistic 4K bluegill imitation; effective around shallow cover where bluegill are present — docks, laydowns, and shallow grass edges; the detailed bluegill profile triggers territorial and feeding strikes from bass holding in bluegill habitat.
• 4K Shad — Hyper-realistic 4K shad imitation; effective in clear water where bass are keying on shad; the detailed scale pattern and realistic shad profile trigger strikes from sight-feeding bass in clear water conditions.
• Bluegill Spawn — Bluegill spawn color pattern; highly effective during the bluegill spawn (late spring through early summer) when bass are aggressively feeding on spawning bluegill around shallow cover and beds.
• Tiger Truese — Tiger pattern with Truese finish; effective attractor color for stained water and low-light conditions; tiger patterns provide high contrast and visibility in off-color water where natural imitation colors lose effectiveness.
• Boiled Crawfish — Boiled crawfish red/orange pattern; highly effective in spring when bass are feeding heavily on crawfish; red/orange tones trigger feeding strikes from bass keying on crawfish in rocky and hard-bottom shallow cover.

Best For

• Shallow Cover Fishing — Squarebill profile and 2–5 ft depth range are purpose-built for shallow cover — laydowns, dock posts, riprap banks, and shallow wood; the pivoting metal lip deflects off cover to change direction erratically and trigger reaction strikes from bass holding tight to structure.
• Reaction Strike Bass — Erratic Hunting Action and random side-to-side hunting movement trigger reaction strikes from bass that have seen standard squarebill retrieves; the unpredictable EHA action is most effective on pressured fish that ignore conventional crankbaits.
• Spring Bass Fishing — Boiled Crawfish and Bluegill Spawn colors for spring bass feeding on crawfish and spawning bluegill; 2–5 ft depth range covers the primary spring bass holding depth on shallow flats, points, and spawning areas.
• Stained Water — Louder underwater knock from the metal insert adds an acoustic trigger that helps bass locate the bait in stained or off-color water where visual triggers are reduced; Tiger Truese and Boiled Crawfish colors for maximum visibility in stained conditions.

The G-Ratt Baits Pistol Pete Swimbaits weighs 1.2 ounces and is a slow sinking bait. 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 Pistol Pete comes equipped with two size 4 hooks. The hooks can be changed if desired. The tails are easily replaceable. 

Pistol Pete is a scaled-down version of Sneaky Pete. Coming complete with strong components, rotating hook hangers and 3X hooks to ensure you land more fish! Pistol Pete is weighted with steel bearings to produce a nice rattling sound to help enhance that big bite!

Zoom The Fluke 4" is a proven soft jerkbait built for lead head and darter head rigging — and the key difference from the Super Fluke is the solid belly. The Super Fluke has a split belly for weedless rigging; The Fluke has no split, making it the purpose-built choice when you want a fully exposed hook on a lead head or darter head with a cleaner, more streamlined body profile. Every Zoom Fluke is realistic, super-soft to the touch, and salt-impregnated to hold even the most tentative bite. 10 per pack in 6 colors.

Key Features

• Solid Belly — Purpose-Built for Lead Head & Darter Head — Unlike the Super Fluke’s split belly design, The Fluke has a solid belly with no split; the solid belly provides a cleaner, more streamlined body profile on a lead head or darter head, and eliminates the gap that a split belly creates when threaded onto a jig head; the result is a more natural baitfish profile on the retrieve and a more secure connection to the jig head that prevents the bait from spinning or sliding during the jerk-and-pause retrieve.
• Dying Baitfish Action — Jerk-and-Pause Retrieve — On a lead head or darter head, work with sharp rod tip twitches and pauses; on the jerk, the bait darts and flashes to one side; on the pause, it glides and slowly sinks with a subtle shimmy that mimics a dying or disoriented baitfish; the pause is when the strike most often occurs as bass commit to the bait on the fall.
• Salt-Impregnated — Holds Even Tentative Bites — Salt is impregnated throughout the plastic; the salt taste triggers a natural hold response that keeps bass on the bait longer, giving you more time to detect the bite and set the hook; particularly effective for tentative bites from pressured bass that mouth the bait before committing.
• Super-Soft Realistic Profile — Made from Zoom’s super-soft plastic that compresses naturally on the hookset for better hook penetration and produces a lifelike, flexible baitfish profile on the retrieve.
• 10 Per Pack — 6 Colors — Ten baits per pack across 6 colors.

The Fluke vs. Super Fluke — Which to Choose

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Lead Head — Primary Application — Thread on a 1/8–3/8 oz lead head for a subsurface jerkbait presentation; the solid belly provides a clean, streamlined profile on the jig head; work with sharp twitches and pauses, keeping the bait in the strike zone at a consistent depth.
• Darter Head — Open Water Jerkbait — Thread on a darter head for a darting, erratic baitfish action on the jerk-and-pause retrieve; the darter head’s angled eye causes the bait to dart to one side on each twitch, producing a more erratic action than a standard round lead head.
• Schooling Bass — Baitfish Match — When bass are schooling and feeding on baitfish near the surface, cast the Fluke on a light lead head and retrieve at the same speed as the fleeing baitfish; the 4" profile matches smaller shad and shiner profiles that schooling bass are keying on.
• Dock & Structure Fishing — Cast past dock pilings, bridge columns, and rocky structure and retrieve the Fluke on a lead head through the shadow line; the jerk-and-pause retrieve triggers strikes from bass holding tight to structure in the shade.
