The Frog That Changed Everything
The SPRO Bronzeye Frog 65 is the Dean Rojas Signature Series hollow body frog that redefined topwater frog fishing. Tournament-proven and angler-trusted, this is the lure that raised the bar β and it's still the benchmark every other frog is measured against. Whether you're punching through thick lily pads or walking it across open water, the Bronzeye 65 delivers.
Built for the Strike Zone
At 5/8 oz and 65mm, the Bronzeye hits the sweet spot between castability and profile. It's weighted to land belly-down cast after cast, so you spend more time fishing and less time re-rigging. The soft hollow body collapses on the hookset, and the specially designed Gamakatsu Double Frog Hooks drive home with authority.
Where Standard Frogs Fall Short
Most hollow body frogs either ride too high in the water, spin on the cast, or land hook-side up. The Bronzeye 65 was engineered to solve all three. Its precision weighting system ensures a consistent belly-down landing, its aerodynamic profile cuts through wind for long-distance casts, and its hook geometry maximizes conversion on explosive topwater strikes.
Soft Body, Hard Results
The collapsible soft body is the key to the Bronzeye's legendary hookup ratio. When a bass blows up on it, the body compresses instantly β exposing both Gamakatsu hooks for a solid, deep hookset. No more short strikes. No more missed fish.

Tackle Express Tips
- Go Heavy on Braid: Use 50β65 lb braided line for frog fishing. Braid cuts through vegetation and gives you the power to horse fish out of heavy cover.
- Match the Color to Clarity: In stained or dark water, go with dark colors like Midnight Walker or Black Widow. In clear water or bright sun, try Natural Green or Albino.
- Pause After the Splash: When a bass misses the frog, resist the urge to reel away. Let it sit for 3β5 seconds β a second strike is very common.
FAQ
What size rod should I use with the SPRO Bronzeye Frog 65?
A heavy or extra-heavy 7'β7'6" baitcasting rod is ideal. You need the backbone to drive the hooks home and pull fish out of thick cover.
Is the Bronzeye Frog 65 weedless?
Yes. The hooks ride point-up against the soft body, making it virtually snag-free through lily pads, hydrilla, and other heavy vegetation.
How do I know when to set the hook?
Wait until you feel the weight of the fish before setting. Count "one-one-thousand" after the strike, then sweep hard to the side with a powerful hookset.
The Sound That Bass Can't Ignore
The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 130 is one of the most iconic topwater lures ever made β and for good reason. That deep, hollow whopping sound produced by the rotating tail is unlike anything else on the water. Crawl it so slowly you can barely hear the tail, or rip it fast so it throws water like a swamp buggy. Either way, it gets bit. Cast it a mile, dial in your retrieve speed, and let the sound do the work.
Engineered to Run Perfect, Right Out of the Box
The Whopper Plopper's propeller-style tail is perfectly tuned from the factory and stays flexible and fish-catching forever. No tweaking, no tuning, no adjustments β just tie it on and go. The tail rotates smoothly across a wide range of retrieve speeds, producing alluring rumbles and multi-octave splashing that triggers strikes from bass, pike, musky, and stripers.
Why Standard Prop Baits Fall Short
Most prop baits are noisy at one speed and dead at another. The Whopper Plopper produces fish-catching sound and action from a dead-slow crawl all the way to a fast burn β giving you a versatile topwater that adapts to the mood of the fish. When bass are finicky, slow it down. When they're aggressive, speed it up. The Plopper works either way.
Built to Last, Built to Cast
Pre-rigged with two size #1 premium black nickel treble hooks, the Whopper Plopper 130 is ready to fish the moment it comes out of the package. The durable body handles rocks, wood, and hard-fighting fish without losing its action, and its aerodynamic profile launches exceptionally long casts for a topwater of its size β covering more water and reaching fish that other lures can't.
The Right Pick If...
- You want a topwater that works at any retrieve speed
- You're targeting largemouth, smallmouth, pike, musky, or striped bass

Best Retrieve Techniques
- Slow Crawl: Barely-there retrieve β just enough to keep the tail ticking. Deadly in calm conditions and post-spawn
- Medium Steady: The bread-and-butter retrieve β consistent tail rotation with a rhythmic whopping sound
- Fast Burn: Rip it across the surface throwing water β triggers reaction strikes from aggressive fish
- Stop and Go: Vary your retrieve speed to create an erratic, fleeing-baitfish action
Best Conditions
- Calm to lightly choppy surface β the tail sound carries best in calmer water
- Low-light periods β early morning and late evening when bass are most active on top
- Post-spawn through fall when bass are chasing baitfish on the surface

Tackle Express Tips
- Start Slow, Speed Up: Begin your retrieve at a slow crawl and gradually increase speed until you find the cadence the fish want that day. The Plopper produces at every speed β let the fish tell you what they want.
- Match the Color to Forage: In shad-heavy lakes, go with Phantom Shad, Chubby, or Crystal Minnow. In perch or bluegill fisheries, try Perch or Munky Butt. In stained water, Blue Blood and Rat Ta Tat create the best silhouette.
- Use a Loop Knot: A loop knot (like a Rapala knot) gives the Whopper Plopper maximum freedom of movement and enhances the tail action, especially at slower retrieve speeds.
FAQ
What rod and line setup works best with the Whopper Plopper 130?
A medium-heavy 7'β7'6" casting rod with 30β50 lb braided line is ideal. Braid floats and keeps the lure riding high on the surface, while the sensitivity lets you feel the tail action and detect any change in retrieve speed.
How do I know if the tail is tuned correctly?
The tail should rotate freely and consistently at slow retrieve speeds. If it's not spinning, check for debris caught in the tail joint. The Whopper Plopper comes factory-tuned and rarely needs adjustment.
Can I use the Whopper Plopper 130 for pike and musky?
Absolutely. The 5 in, 1 3/8 oz profile is a great pike and musky topwater, especially in summer when fish are shallow and aggressive. Upgrade to heavier treble hooks if you're specifically targeting large musky.
Three Baits in One. Master of All of Them.
The Ima Square Bill Crankbait is Bassmaster Elite Angler Bill Lowen's signature design β a bait he dreamed about for decades and finally brought to life through countless conversations with Ima's engineers in Japan. Most square bills do one thing well. The Ima Square Bill does everything well: burn it, wake it, twitch it, or deflect it off cover. Mix them all on a single retrieve and watch what happens.
Built Around an Earth-Shaking Wobble
The Ima Square Bill's stubby, rounded body produces a wide, aggressive wobble that displaces water and triggers reaction strikes from bass holding tight to cover. The computer-chip lip deflects off wood, rock, and laydowns with a natural, erratic kick that mimics a fleeing baitfish. And two sticky-sharp Owner #6 treble hooks nail even the short strikers β though most bass absolutely choke this bait down.
Why Most Square Bills Have a Weakness
Most square bills are specialists. Some burn well but lose their action when waked. Others deflect off cover but fall apart on a fast retrieve. The Ima Square Bill was engineered to have no weakness β it performs at every speed and in every situation. That versatility is what makes it Bill Lowen's go-to bait and a must-have in any crankbait lineup.
Bill Lowen's Favorite Retrieve
Bill's preferred technique is to mix it all up on a single retrieve β twitching to waking, then reeling it down to three feet and burning it. That unpredictable, multi-speed presentation keeps bass guessing and triggers strikes from fish that have seen every standard crankbait retrieve. The Ima Square Bill is the only bait that can pull it off without losing its action.
The Right Pick If...
- You want a square bill that performs at every retrieve speed
- You're fishing shallow cover β wood, rock, laydowns, docks, and riprap
- You want a bait that deflects off structure with a natural, erratic kick
- Standard square bills are getting ignored on pressured water
- You want a tournament-proven design from a Bassmaster Elite pro
Best Retrieve Techniques
- Burning: Fast, steady retrieve to cover water quickly and trigger reaction strikes from aggressive fish
- Waking: Slow retrieve that keeps the bait just below the surface, creating a visible wake β deadly in low-light conditions
- Twitching: Erratic rod-tip twitches to create a darting, fleeing action β great for finicky fish
- Deflecting: Cast into cover and let the bait deflect off wood, rock, and laydowns β the kick on contact triggers reaction strikes
- Mixed Retrieve: Bill Lowen's favorite β twitch, wake, burn, and deflect all on one retrieve
Best Conditions
- Spring pre-spawn and spawn when bass are shallow and aggressive
- Fall when bass are chasing shad in shallow water
- Anytime bass are holding tight to shallow cover β wood, rock, docks, and riprap
- Stained to moderately clear water where the wobble and color carry
- Low-light periods when a waking retrieve draws fish from a distance
Best For
- Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass
- Techniques: Burning, Waking, Twitching, Deflecting, Mixed Retrieve
- Conditions: Shallow cover, stained water, spring pre-spawn, fall shad patterns
Key Features
- Bill Lowen (Bassmaster Elite) Signature Series design
- Stubby, rounded body produces an earth-shaking wide wobble
- Computer-chip lip deflects naturally off wood, rock, and laydowns
- Two sticky-sharp Owner #6 treble hooks
- Performs at every retrieve speed β burn, wake, twitch, or deflect
- No weakness β a true master of all square bill techniques
- 8 color patterns to match any forage or water condition

Tackle Express Tips
- Match Color to Water Clarity: In clear water, go with natural patterns like Bluegill, Fred's Perch, or Silver Lining. In stained or murky water, reach for high-visibility colors like Chartreuse Smash, Barred Black Back Chart, or Hot Craw.
- Use Fluorocarbon: 12β15 lb fluorocarbon line sinks and keeps the bait in the strike zone longer. It also has less stretch than mono, giving you better feel for deflections and a more solid hookset.
- Let It Deflect: Don't steer the bait away from cover β aim directly at laydowns, stumps, and rocks. The natural kick on contact is one of the most strike-triggering moments in crankbait fishing.
FAQ
What depth does the Ima Square Bill run?
The Ima Square Bill is a shallow-running crankbait designed for the 1β3 foot depth range, making it ideal for fishing over shallow flats, around docks, and through shallow wood and rock cover.
What rod setup works best?
A medium or medium-heavy 7'β7'4" fiberglass or composite crankbait rod with a 6:1 reel and 12β15 lb fluorocarbon is ideal. The softer tip of a fiberglass rod loads up on the cast and keeps fish pinned during the fight without pulling hooks.
How is the Ima Square Bill different from other square bills?
Most square bills excel at one or two techniques. The Ima Square Bill was specifically engineered by Bill Lowen to perform equally well when burned, waked, twitched, or deflected off cover β making it one of the most versatile shallow crankbaits available.
Walks, Pops, Spits β All in One Bait
The Ima Big Stick is the result of years of development by Ima's Japanese engineering team and professional angler Randy Pringle β and it shows. At 7 inches and 1.75 oz, the Big Stick is a magnum topwater that can spit like a popper, walk like the hardest-sashaying walking bait on the market, and do it all without requiring expert technique or specialized gear. It's designed for conventional tackle, starts working the moment you begin your retrieve, and is built to handle anything from trophy bass to stripers, pike, and musky.
Eight Sound Chambers. One Unforgettable Presentation.
The Big Stick features eight individual sound chambers that create a massive ruckus at fast retrieve speeds β and can be dialed back to a subtle pop along the surface when fish are finicky. The rear-weighted design kicks the action into gear immediately on the retrieve and dramatically increases casting distance and accuracy. A unique head design pushes significant volumes of water on every direction change, creating a surface disturbance that draws fish from a distance.
Built for Trophy Fish, Not Just Bass
Most big topwaters are built for one species. The Big Stick is built for all of them. Wire-through construction, heavier split rings, and Owner ST-66 #1/0 treble hooks mean this bait can handle the shock of a 50 lb striper, a 40-inch musky, or a 10 lb largemouth without failing. The durable finish and premium hardware make it a legitimate multi-species weapon for both freshwater and saltwater applications.
Standard vs. Silent β Two Presentations, One Profile
The Big Stick comes in both a standard (rattling) version and a silent version. The standard model's eight sound chambers create aggressive noise and vibration β ideal for stained water, choppy conditions, and aggressive fish. The silent version relies entirely on its surface action and profile β perfect for clear water, pressured fish, and situations where noise spooks rather than attracts.
The Right Pick If...
- You want a big topwater that walks AND pops without switching baits
- You're targeting trophy largemouth, stripers, pike, or musky on the surface
- You need a topwater that casts far and starts working immediately on the retrieve
- You fish both freshwater and saltwater and want one bait that handles both
- You want a premium Japanese-engineered topwater with tournament-proven action
Best Retrieve Techniques
- Walk the Dog: Rhythmic rod-tip twitches produce a wide, aggressive side-to-side walk β the rear-weighted design makes this effortless
- Popping: Short, sharp twitches to spit water and pause β the unique head design creates a loud, aggressive pop
- Fast Burn: High-speed retrieve to activate all eight sound chambers and create maximum surface commotion
- Subtle Pop: Slow, gentle twitches for a quiet, subtle presentation β or use the silent version for pressured fish
Best Conditions
- Open water, main lake points, and offshore structure where big fish are feeding on top
- Early morning and late evening low-light periods
- Post-spawn through fall when trophy fish are chasing large baitfish

Tackle Express Tips
- Go Heavy on Tackle: The Big Stick is 1.75 oz β use a heavy or extra-heavy 7'6"β8' casting rod with a high-speed reel (7:1+) and 50β65 lb braid. The heavy setup handles the weight, maximizes casting distance, and gives you the power to drive Owner ST-66 hooks home on big fish.
- Standard vs. Silent by Water Clarity: Use the standard rattling version in stained water, choppy conditions, or when fish are aggressive. Switch to the silent version in clear water, calm conditions, or when fish are spooking off noise.
- Match Color to Forage: Sardine, Mackerel, and Ghost Blue Back are go-to saltwater and striper colors. Bone and Red Head are classic low-light and clear-water patterns. Trout and Hatchery Trout shine in trout-forage fisheries and tailwaters.
FAQ
What's the difference between the standard and silent Big Stick?
The standard version has eight internal sound chambers that create noise and vibration at all retrieve speeds. The silent version has no rattle and relies entirely on its surface action and profile β ideal for clear water or pressured fish that spook off noisy baits.
What rod and line setup works best?
A heavy or extra-heavy 7'6"β8' casting rod with a high-speed reel and 50β65 lb braided line is ideal. The 1.75 oz weight needs backbone to cast and the braid gives you the sensitivity to feel the action and the power to set hooks on big fish.
Can the Ima Big Stick be used in saltwater?
Absolutely. The wire-through construction, heavier split rings, and Owner ST-66 hooks are built to handle saltwater species including striped bass, bluefish, and other inshore predators. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each saltwater use.
The Rapala Jigging Rap swimsΒ in tantalizing circles under the ice or in open water for suspended game fish, the Jigging Rap features a balanced, weighted minnow profile.
Single reversed hooks with center treble and eyelet, this bait can also be bottom bounced, yo-yo style off the bottom with unbeatable results. Wide range of sizes is complimented with natural and glow color patterns.

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 β 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 4β5 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 β stocked trout lakes, clear reservoirs, tournament-fished bass fisheries β 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 β High-contrast, realistic eyes add a focal point that draws strikes from reactive fish
- Transparent Holographic Finish β Reflects light from multiple angles; mimics the iridescent flank of a small shad or fry
- Chattering Rattles β Internal sound chamber calls fish in from distance, especially effective in stained water
- Neutral Suspension β Holds at 4β5 ft on the pause; doesn't rise or sink out of the strike zone
- Owner Stinger-36 Trebles β Two #10 Super Needle Point hooks; razor-sharp right out of the package
- Forage-Size Profile β 2" matches fry, small shad, and juvenile baitfish that pressured fish prefer
The Right Pick Ifβ¦
- 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 4β5 ft and need a finesse presentation
Best Fishing Techniques
- Jerk-pause β Two quick twitches, pause 3β5 seconds; the suspend does the work on neutral fish
- Slow troll β 1β2 mph behind a kayak or electric motor; dives to 4β5 ft and tracks true
- Cast and steady retrieve β Works as a shallow crankbait when fish are actively feeding
- Deadstick pause β 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 4β5 ft range
Best For
- Rainbow & Brown Trout (lakes, reservoirs, tailwaters)
- Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass (finesse presentations)
- Walleye (slow troll and jerk-pause)
- Crappie and Panfish (finesse jigging retrieve)
- Any situation requiring a forage-size suspending presentation
Models & Specs
Specs are loaded dynamically from product metafields. Mira Shad: 2" length, 1/7 oz, suspending, dives 4β5 ft, two #10 Stinger-36 trebles. Available colors: Flame, Pink Passion, Shiner, Baby Bass, Gold Shiner, Brown Trout, Black Pearl.
Tackle Express Tips
- Use light line. 4β6 lb fluorocarbon is the sweet spot β 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 1β1.5 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 50Β°F, count to 10 after each twitch. Trout and bass in cold water need the bait to sit still longer before they commit β most anglers don't wait long enough.
FAQ
Q: Is this the same as the Rip'n Minnow 65?
A: No β 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 1β2 mph behind a slow-rolling boat or kayak at 4β5 ft over weed flats and sand transitions. Brown Trout and Gold Shiner colors work particularly well.
Q: What line should I use?
A: 4β6 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 β it floats the nose up and kills the suspending action.

Roboworm uses state-of-the-art robotic technology to create consistent, well-defined colors every time. It also allows them to create unique color combinations, usually only found in 'hand poured' worms. The super soft plastic Strait Tail Worms end up having a very sensitive, alluring action complete with a Salt Release System that provides a burst of salt when a fish bites ' causing them to hold on longer for solid hooksets.

Why Buy the Yamamoto 3" Senko?
The Yamamoto 3" Senko is the compact, finesse version of the most legendary soft plastic bait ever made. Same salt-impregnated formula, same irresistible side-to-side fall action, same proven Yamamoto colors β in a 3-inch profile that excels in clear water, high-pressure fisheries, and finesse situations where the 4" and 5" are too large. Whether you're wacky rigging around docks, drop shotting suspended fish, or Ned rigging on hard bottom, the 3" Senko delivers the subtle, lifelike action that drives finicky bass wild. 10 per pack, 8 proven colors.
Main Use & Benefit
A 3-inch salt-impregnated stickbait with the legendary Senko side-to-side fall action in a compact, finesse-friendly profile β ideal for wacky rig, drop shot, Ned rig, and any situation where a smaller profile gets more bites from finicky bass in clear water and pressured fisheries.
Problem It Solves
The 4" and 5" Senko are proven fish-catchers, but their larger profiles can be too much for ultra-clear water, heavily pressured fish, and finesse situations where bass are keying on smaller forage. The 3" Senko delivers the same legendary action in a compact profile that gets bites when larger sizes get ignored β without sacrificing any of the Senko's signature fall action or salt-impregnated feel.
Advantages
- β Compact 3" profile β ideal for clear water and pressured fish where larger Senkos get ignored
- β Same legendary side-to-side fall action as the 4" and 5" Senko
- β Salt-impregnated formula β natural fall, enhanced scent, fish hold on longer
- β Versatile β wacky rig, drop shot, Ned rig, Neko rig, weightless Texas rig
- β 8 proven color options across natural and reaction shades
- β 10 per pack
- β οΈ 3" compact profile β for more bulk and presence, consider the 4" or 5" Senko
When to Choose It
Reach for the 3" Senko when bass are ignoring the 4" in ultra-clear water or post-frontal conditions, when you're targeting smallmouth or spotted bass that key on smaller forage, or when you need a compact Senko for Ned rig and drop shot presentations where a smaller profile gets more bites. It's the go-to downsize option when conditions are toughest.
Best Fishing Techniques
- Wacky Rig β hook through the center with a #1 or #1/0 wacky hook; use an O-ring to extend bait life; the compact 3" body produces a tight, symmetrical wiggle on the fall that's deadly around docks, laydowns, and open water
- Drop Shot β nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12β18" above the weight; the side-to-side action quivers naturally in the strike zone; excellent for FFS targeting suspended fish
- Ned Rig β thread onto a 1/16β3/32 oz Ned head; the compact 3" body is the ideal size for a Ned rig presentation on hard bottom; the Senko's action on the pause is irresistible
- Neko Rig β insert a 1/32 oz nail weight into the nose; the head-down fall and side-to-side action triggers strikes from finicky fish in clear water
- Weightless Texas Rig β rig on a 1/0β2/0 EWG hook for a slow-falling presentation through sparse cover and open water
Best Conditions
- Ultra-clear water (visibility 3ft+) where a compact, natural profile is critical
- Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days
- Heavily pressured tournament lakes and clear natural lakes
- Smallmouth and spotted bass fisheries where a smaller profile gets more bites
- Year-round β especially effective in spring (wacky rig) and summer (drop shot, Ned rig)

Tackle Express Tips
- Use an O-ring for wacky rigging β The 3" Senko is small enough that a standard wacky hook can tear through the bait quickly. Slide an O-ring onto the center of the bait and hook through the O-ring β you'll get 3β5x more casts per bait and the action is identical. A #1 wacky hook is the right size for the 3" body.
- Green Pumpkin Black Flake for most situations, Bubblegum for bluegill spawn β Green Pumpkin Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Bubblegum (#229) during the bluegill spawn when bass are keying on pink/red forage β it's one of the most underrated Senko colors for this specific situation. Use Watermelon w/ Black & Red (#208) as your all-around natural color in clear water.
- Downsize to the 3" before changing techniques β If you're fishing the 4" Senko and bites slow down, switch to the 3" before changing colors or techniques. The smaller profile often triggers strikes from fish that have seen the larger bait β especially in ultra-clear water and post-frontal conditions. Keep both sizes on deck and let the fish tell you which one they want.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between the 3", 4", and 5" Senko?
A: All three use the same salt-impregnated formula and legendary side-to-side fall action. The 3" is the finesse option β ideal for ultra-clear water, pressured fish, smallmouth, and spotted bass where a smaller profile gets more bites. The 4" is the most versatile all-around size. 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" in most situations and downsize to the 3" when conditions are toughest.
Q: What hook size works best for wacky rigging the 3" Senko?
A: A #1 or #1/0 wacky hook works best for the 3" body. Use an O-ring to extend bait life and keep the hook centered. For drop shot, a #1 Gamakatsu or Owner drop shot hook is the standard choice. For Ned rig, a 1/16β3/32 oz Ned head with a #1 hook is the right size.
Q: Is the 3" Senko good for smallmouth bass?
A: Yes β it's one of the best smallmouth baits available on wacky rig and drop shot. The compact 3" profile matches the smaller forage smallmouth key on in clear lakes and rivers. Baby Bass (#305) and Smoke w/ Large Black Flake (#150) are top smallmouth color picks.
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 β 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 β 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
- β Ribbed Senko-style body with shad profile β unique combination not found in standard finesse worms
- β Salt-impregnated formula β smooth, natural fall rate; fish hold on longer
- β Proven in Japan before North American release β tournament-tested design
- β Versatile β drop shot, darter head, shaky head, fly-line, Neko rig
- β Effective for bass, smallmouth, largemouth, and walleye
- β 6 proven color options across natural and baitfish shades
- β 10 per pack
- β οΈ 3.75" profile β 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 β nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12β24" 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 β thread onto a 1/16β1/8 oz darter head; the shad profile darts and glides on a twitching retrieve, mimicking a fleeing baitfish
- Shaky Head β 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) β 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 β 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 β especially effective in summer and fall when bass are keying on medium-sized shad
Best For
| Technique | Species | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Drop Shot / FFS | All bass species | Suspended fish, deep structure, real-time sonar targeting |
| Darter Head | Largemouth, Spotted Bass | Clear water, darting baitfish imitation |

Tackle Express Tips
- Natural Shad for clear water, Watermelon w/ Black & Red Flake for stained β 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.
- Darter head for active fish, drop shot for finicky fish β When bass are actively feeding and chasing baitfish, the darter head presentation β twitching the bait to dart and glide β 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.
- Downsize to the 3" in ultra-clear water β 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 β 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 β 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.
Why Buy the Yamamoto Double Tail Grub?
The Yamamoto Double Tail Grub is the go-to when you need more action, more bulk, and more disturbance than a single tail grub can deliver. Two curly tails working simultaneously create a larger disturbance that helps fish hone in on your bait from a distance β making it one of the most effective jig trailers, spider jig components, and spinnerbait trailers in the Yamamoto lineup. Add it to a Yamamoto Skirt to build your own custom spider jig color combination, or pin it onto a spinnerbait to slow your retrieve and add extra bulk and resistance. Available in 4" and 5" sizes, 20 per pack.
Main Use & Benefit
A dual curly tail grub available in 4" and 5" sizes that produces twice the disturbance and action of a single tail β ideal as a jig trailer, spider jig component, and spinnerbait trailer where extra bulk, resistance, and tail action trigger strikes that a single tail can't match.
Problem It Solves
A single tail grub adds action to a jig or spinnerbait, but sometimes you need more β more bulk to slow the fall, more disturbance to attract fish from a distance, and more tail action to trigger strikes on the pause. The Double Tail Grub's two curly tails deliver all three, making it the upgrade choice when a single tail isn't getting the job done.
Advantages
- β Dual curly tails β twice the disturbance and action of a single tail grub
- β Extra bulk and resistance β slows the fall and retrieve on jigs and spinnerbaits
- β Spider jig compatible β pairs with Yamamoto Skirts for custom color combinations
- β Yamamoto soft plastic formula β supple for great hook penetration, realistic feel
- β Available in 4" and 5" sizes β choose based on jig size and target species
- β Wide range of proven Yamamoto colors
- β 20 per pack
- β οΈ More bulk than a single tail β can overpower smaller jigs; best on 3/8 oz and larger
When to Choose It
Reach for the Double Tail Grub when you want to add more action, bulk, and disturbance to a jig or spinnerbait than a single tail can provide β especially when you need to slow your retrieve, when fish are keying on a larger profile, or when you want to build a custom spider jig with a Yamamoto Skirt. Choose the 4" for standard jig and spinnerbait applications, and the 5" when you want maximum bulk and a slower fall on larger jigs.
Best Fishing Techniques
- Jig Trailer β pin onto a 3/8β1/2 oz flipping jig, football jig, or swim jig; the dual tails add kicking action on every hop and a slower fall that triggers strikes on the pause
- Spider Jig β combine with a Yamamoto Skirt on a round head jig for a custom spider jig; the dual tails complement the skirt's action for a full, pulsing presentation
- Spinnerbait Trailer β pin onto a 3/8β1/2 oz spinnerbait to add bulk, resistance, and dual tail action that slows the retrieve and triggers strikes on the pause
- Buzzbait Trailer β pin onto a buzzbait for extra bulk and a kicking tail action that keeps fish committed on the bite
- Jighead β thread onto a 1/4β3/8 oz round jighead for a standalone swimming presentation with maximum tail action
Best Conditions
- Stained to murky water where extra disturbance helps fish locate the bait
- Heavy cover and structure where a slower fall triggers more strikes
- Warm water (summer and early fall) when bass are active and keying on larger profiles
- Year-round as a jig trailer β the dual tails produce action in any water temperature
- Any depth β equally effective shallow on spinnerbait and deep on football jig

Tackle Express Tips
- Match size to jig weight β Use the 4" Double Tail on jigs 3/8 oz and under for a balanced profile. Move to the 5" on 1/2 oz and larger jigs β the extra bulk and resistance of the 5" complements heavier jigs and produces a slower, more enticing fall on football jigs dragged over deep structure.
- Build a spider jig with a Yamamoto Skirt β The Double Tail Grub is one of the best spider jig components available. Pair a Cinnamon w/ Black & Purple Flake 4" with a matching Yamamoto Skirt on a 3/8 oz round head jig for a custom color combination that's deadly for largemouth in heavy cover. The dual tails complement the skirt's pulsing action perfectly.
- Slow down on the spinnerbait β The Double Tail Grub adds significant bulk and resistance to a spinnerbait β use this to your advantage by slowing your retrieve speed. The extra bulk causes the spinnerbait to helicopter and flutter on the pause, and the dual tails keep working even when the blade stops. If fish are short-striking, slow down before switching colors.
FAQ
Q: What's the difference between the 4" and 5" Double Tail Grub?
A: The 4" is the standard size for most jig trailer and spinnerbait applications β it adds bulk and dual tail action without overpowering smaller jigs (3/8 oz and under). The 5" has more bulk and resistance, making it better for larger jigs (1/2 oz and up), football jig trailers on deep structure, and situations where you want maximum bulk and a slower fall.
Q: How do I build a spider jig with the Double Tail Grub?
A: Thread the Double Tail Grub onto a 3/8β1/2 oz round head jig, then slide a Yamamoto Skirt up the hook shank so it sits behind the jig head. The skirt's tentacles and the grub's dual tails work together to create a full, pulsing presentation. Match the grub color to the skirt color or go contrasting for a reaction color combination.
Q: Can the Double Tail Grub be fished solo on a jighead?
A: Yes β thread it onto a 1/4β3/8 oz round jighead for a standalone presentation with maximum tail action. The dual tails produce significantly more disturbance than a single tail grub on the same jighead, making it effective in stained water and when fish are keying on a larger, more active profile.

The Lead Masters Mini Tube Jig 1/32 oz is a hand-poured tube jig designed for finesse presentations targeting trout, crappie, bluegill, bass, perch, and panfish on light tackle. At 1/32 oz, it falls faster and casts farther than the 1/64 oz version, making it more versatile across a wider range of conditions while still maintaining the slow, natural tube action that triggers strikes from finicky fish. The hollow tube body produces a natural, tentacle-like flutter on the fall and retrieve. Because these jigs are hand-poured, colors may vary slightly between batches β a characteristic of hand-poured lures that often results in unique, one-of-a-kind color variations. Available in 35 colors. 3 per pack.
Key Features
- 1/32 oz β Versatile Light Weight β Heavier than the 1/64 oz version for better casting distance and a faster fall rate that covers more water column; still light enough for ultra-light and light spinning gear on 2β6 lb line; the 1/32 oz is the most versatile weight in the mini tube jig range β light enough for finesse presentations and heavy enough to cast without a bobber in most conditions.
- Hand-Poured β Unique Color Variations β All Lead Masters Mini Tube Jigs are hand-poured; colors may vary slightly between batches, which is a natural characteristic of hand-poured lures; hand-poured jigs often have unique color blends and translucency variations that differ from machine-produced jigs.
- Hollow Tube Body β Natural Flutter Action β The hollow tube body collapses and flares on the fall and retrieve, producing a natural, tentacle-like action that mimics small invertebrates, aquatic insects, and small baitfish; most effective on a slow, steady retrieve without twitching β let the tubeβs natural action do the work.
- Water-Filled Bobber Compatible β Can be used with a water-filled casting bobber to achieve greater casting distance on ultra-light gear; the bobberβs weight provides the casting mass while the jig trails behind at the desired depth.
- 35 Colors β Solid, Bi-Color, Sparkle & Specialty β The largest color selection in the Lead Masters mini tube jig lineup, covering every water clarity, light condition, and target species preference.
- 3 Per Pack β Three jigs per pack; provides multiple jigs for rigging multiple rods or replacing lost jigs when fishing around structure.
Retrieval Tip
A slow, steady retrieve without twitching produces the best results with the Mini Tube Jig. The tubeβs natural action is most effective when the bait is allowed to move on its own β twitching can disrupt the tube flutter and reduce strikes. Cast, let the jig sink to the desired depth, and retrieve slowly and steadily.
Color Selection Guide
- Clear Water β Natural & Translucent β Pearl, Smoke/Clear, Smoke/Sparkle, Bi-Smoke/Clear Sparkle, Bi-Smoke/Pearl, Pink/Clear, Clear/Gold Sparkle for clear water where a natural, translucent profile is preferred; smoke and clear finishes allow light to pass through the tube body for a lifelike appearance that triggers strikes from pressured fish.
- High Visibility β Stained Water & Low Light β Yellow, Yellow/White, Yellow/Chartreuse, Yellow/Green Sparkle, Yellow/Red Sparkle, Chartreuse/Silver Flake, Black/Chartreuse, Bi-Smoke/Chartreuse, Bi-Orange/Chartreuse, Black Red/Chartreuse Sparkle for stained water and low-light conditions where high-visibility colors are needed; chartreuse and yellow tones remain visible in off-color water.
- Attractor & High Contrast β Firecracker, Red/White, Pink/White, Pink/White Chartreuse, Bi-Red/Pearl, Bi-Smoke/Fire, Tequila Sunrise, Orange/Watermelon Scale for high-contrast attractor presentations that trigger reaction strikes; red, pink, and orange tones are effective for trout and crappie across a wide range of conditions.
- Natural Imitation β Grasshopper, Brown/Blue Sparkle, Bi-Green/Pumpkin, Bi-Green/Pearl, Green/White, Green/Yellow for natural baitfish and invertebrate imitations; grasshopper and pumpkin tones for trout in streams where terrestrial insects are present, green and brown tones for panfish around vegetation.
- Dark Water & Low Light Silhouette β Black, Black/Clear Sparkle, Smoke/Multi, Bi-Yellow/Pearl for dark water and low-light conditions where a visible silhouette is needed; black provides maximum contrast against the sky in low-light conditions.

- Trout Fishing β The 1/32 oz weight and tube action are highly effective for trout in streams, rivers, and stocked ponds; use on 2β4 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon with an ultralight spinning rod; Pearl, Firecracker, Red/White, and Chartreuse/Silver Flake for stocked trout, smoke and clear finishes for wild trout in clear water; Grasshopper for stream trout when terrestrial insects are present.
- Crappie & Panfish β Effective for crappie, bluegill, perch, and panfish around docks, brush piles, and submerged structure; the 1/32 oz weight casts farther than the 1/64 oz without a bobber, making it more practical for open water panfish presentations; bi-color finishes (Bi-Yellow/Pearl, Bi-Red/Pearl) are proven crappie colors.
- Bass on Light Tackle β Effective for bass on light spinning gear in clear water and pressured conditions where larger presentations are ignored; the tube action and small profile trigger strikes from finicky bass that wonβt commit to larger jigs.
- Ice Fishing β The 1/32 oz weight and tube flutter are effective for ice fishing targeting crappie, bluegill, and perch through the ice; the slightly heavier weight compared to the 1/64 oz provides better jigging response in cold water conditions.

The Zoom Super Fluke Jr 4" is the compact version of the legendary Super Fluke β a split-belly soft jerkbait that produces a dying baitfish action on the jerk-and-pause retrieve. The split belly design is the key: it allows the bait to be rigged weedless for fishing through cover, or threaded onto a darter head, jig head, or scrounger head for a fully exposed hook presentation. On a scrounger head, pop it or swim it subsurface when gamefish are feeding on baitfish. On a darter head, work it with sharp twitches and pauses for a darting, wounded baitfish action that triggers reaction strikes. 10 per pack in 8 colors.
Key Features
- Split Belly Design β Weedless or Exposed Hook Rigging β The split belly is the defining feature of the Super Fluke; the belly slot allows the bait to be rigged weedless with the hook point tucked into the split for fishing through grass, laydowns, and shallow cover without snagging; the same split belly also accepts a darter head, jig head, or scrounger head for a fully exposed hook presentation when fishing open water or around sparse cover.
- Dying Baitfish Action β Jerk-and-Pause Retrieve β The soft jerkbait profile produces a darting, wounded baitfish action on the jerk-and-pause retrieve; 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 often when the strike occurs as bass commit to the bait on the fall.
- Scrounger Head β Subsurface Baitfish Presentation β Thread the Super Fluke Jr on a scrounger head and pop or swim it subsurface when gamefish are actively feeding on baitfish near the surface; the scrounger headβs bill produces a wobbling action that complements the Flukeβs soft body shimmy for a highly realistic baitfish presentation.
- 4" Compact Profile β 10 Per Pack β The 4" Jr size matches smaller baitfish profiles (shad, shiners, small perch) and is effective when bass are keying on smaller forage or when a more compact presentation is needed; 10 baits per pack.

Best For
- Weightless Weedless β Shallow Cover & Topwater β Rig weightless with the hook point tucked into the split belly and work through shallow grass, laydowns, and over submerged vegetation; the weightless Fluke sinks slowly on the pause, producing a gliding, dying baitfish action that triggers strikes from bass holding in shallow cover.
- Darter Head β Open Water Jerkbait β Thread on a 1/8β3/16 oz darter head for a subsurface jerkbait presentation in open water; work with sharp rod tip twitches and pauses; the darter head keeps the bait in the strike zone at a consistent depth while the Flukeβs body produces the darting, wounded baitfish action on each twitch.
- Scrounger Head β Schooling Bass & Surface Feeding β Thread on a scrounger head and swim or pop subsurface when bass are schooling and feeding on baitfish near the surface; the scrounger headβs wobbling action combined with the Flukeβs shimmy produces a highly effective baitfish imitation for schooling bass situations.
- Dock Skipping β The 4" compact profile and weightless rigging make the Super Fluke Jr ideal for skipping under docks and overhanging cover; the flat body skips easily across the surface and the slow sink on the pause triggers strikes from bass holding tight under dock structure.
