The "Limit Getter" That Pros Have Trusted for Decades

The Luhr Jensen Speed Trap Crankbait earned its nickname on the tournament trail — pros call it the "Limit Getter" because it covers water fast, stays in the zone, and gets bit. Whether you're burning it over shallow cover or slow-rolling it through structure, the Speed Trap's computer-controlled thin-wall construction produces maximum vibration and stays perfectly balanced at any retrieve speed. It's a search bait, a confidence bait, and a limit bait all in one.

Computer-Controlled Molding = Tournament-Winning Action

The secret to the Speed Trap is its computer-controlled molding process, which creates an ultra-thin-walled body with precise weight distribution. The result is a crankbait that produces intense, high-frequency vibration at slow speeds and stays perfectly balanced at full burn — no rolling, no blowout, no lost action. The round-bend treble hooks are positioned to maximize hookups across the bait's full range of motion.

When Your Crankbait Rolls Out at High Speed

Most crankbaits have a ceiling — push them too fast and they roll over, lose their action, and stop catching fish. The Speed Trap was specifically engineered to eliminate that problem. You can burn it as fast as you want over shallow cover and it stays true, which means you can cover more water, trigger more reaction strikes, and find fish faster than with any bait that has a speed limit.

Two Sizes, 14 Colors, One Proven Design

The Speed Trap comes in 1/8 oz (dives to 5 ft) and 1/4 oz (dives to 8 ft), giving you the flexibility to target fish at different depths with the same proven action. With 14 color options spanning shad, craw, bluegill, and perch patterns, there's a Speed Trap for every water clarity and forage situation you'll encounter.

The Right Pick If...

• You need a search bait to cover water fast on unfamiliar lakes
• You want a crankbait that stays true at high-speed retrieves
• You're targeting bass in shallow to medium-depth cover (5–8 ft)
• You want a proven tournament bait with a deep color selection

Best Fishing Techniques

Tackle Express Tips

• Use it as your first cast on new water. The Speed Trap's ability to cover water fast makes it the perfect search bait when you're learning a new lake. Burn it along likely-looking structure and let the fish tell you where they are before you slow down and finesse them.
• Match color to water clarity. In clear water, go with Crystal Tennessee Shad, Near Clear Pearl Shad, or Pearl Silver Scale. In stained or off-color water, reach for Breeding Bluegill, Creek Craw, or Moss Back Craw for better contrast and visibility.
• Don't be afraid to burn it. Most anglers slow down instinctively — but the Speed Trap was built to be burned. A fast, aggressive retrieve triggers reaction strikes from fish that won't chase a slow bait, especially in warmer water.

FAQ

What's the dive depth for each size?
The 1/8 oz Speed Trap dives to approximately 5 feet, and the 1/4 oz dives to approximately 8 feet. Actual depth will vary based on line diameter, rod angle, and retrieve speed — lighter line and a lower rod tip will push the bait deeper.

Can I use this bait at high retrieve speeds without it rolling?
Yes — that's the Speed Trap's defining feature. The computer-controlled thin-wall molding and precise weight distribution keep the bait stable and tracking true at any retrieve speed, from a slow crawl to a full burn.

Which color should I start with?
If you're fishing clear water, start with Crystal Tennessee Shad or Near Clear Pearl Shad. In stained water, Breeding Bluegill or Creek Craw are proven producers. When in doubt, match the primary forage in the lake you're fishing — shad patterns in open water, craw patterns near rocky or muddy bottom.

One Bait. Four Imitations. Year-Round Confidence.

The Ima Roumba Silent Wakebait was designed by Bassmaster Elite Angler Fred Roumbanis — and it's been on his rod year-round ever since. The Roumba creates a natural, side-to-side wobbling wake along the surface that can imitate a crawfish scooting above shallow hydrilla, a frog hopping across lily pads, a rat or mouse skittering across the surface, or a bluegill coming up to sun. No matter the lake, no matter the season, the Roumba finds a way to get bit.

The Wake That Triggers the Strike

The Roumba's unique body geometry produces a wide, rolling side-to-side wobble that pushes a visible wake across the surface on a slow, steady retrieve. That subtle surface disturbance — combined with the bait's natural profile — triggers the predatory instinct in bass holding in shallow cover. Keep the rod tip up, maintain a slow steady retrieve, and get ready for an explosive surface strike.

Why Standard Topwaters Miss Shallow Cover

Walking baits and poppers require constant rod work and don't fish well over thick grass or through tight cover. The Roumba is designed to be fished with a simple, slow steady retrieve — gliding just below the surface film and creating a wake that draws bass up from below. It's the ideal bait for situations where you need a topwater that fishes itself through the nastiest shallow cover on the lake.

Fred Roumbanis on the Roumba

"The Roumba is an extremely versatile bait that I'll have tied on at least one rod year round. No matter what lake I go to across the country I know I'll be able to get 'em good on a Roumba. The reason is simple; I can imitate several types of baitfish with this bait. It can be used as a crawfish scooting right above shallow hydrilla, a frog hoppin' around open water lily pads, a rat or mouse skitting across the surface, or a bluegill coming up to sun."

The Right Pick If...

• You're fishing over shallow aquatic grass — milfoil, hydrilla, and coontail
• You want a topwater that fishes itself with a simple slow retrieve
• You're targeting bass around boat docks, laydowns, brush piles, and standing timber
• Walking baits and poppers are too noisy or require too much rod work for the situation
• You want a year-round topwater confidence bait that imitates multiple forage types

Best Retrieve Techniques

• Slow Steady Retrieve: The bread-and-butter presentation — keep the rod tip up and reel slowly to maintain the surface wake
• Pause and Wake: Reel a few feet, pause, then resume — the pause often triggers strikes from following fish
• Over Grass: Slow retrieve just above the grass canopy — mimics a crawfish or frog moving through vegetation
• Around Structure: Cast past docks, laydowns, and timber and retrieve along the edge — bass will ambush it from the shadows

Best Conditions

• Shallow aquatic grass — milfoil, hydrilla, coontail, and lily pads
• Boat docks, laydowns, brush piles, and standing timber
• Low-light periods — early morning and late evening
• Warm water temps above 60°F when bass are shallow and feeding
• Calm to lightly rippled surface — the wake is most visible in calmer conditions

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass
• Techniques: Wakebait, Slow Surface Retrieve, Grass Fishing, Cover Fishing
• Imitations: Crawfish, Frog, Rat/Mouse, Bluegill/Sunfish

Key Features

• Designed by Bassmaster Elite Angler Fred Roumbanis
• Unique body geometry produces a natural side-to-side surface wake
• Silent design — no rattle, natural presentation
• 3 in body length, 1/2 oz (14g) weight
• Owner ST-36 #4 treble hooks
• Effective over grass, around docks, laydowns, brush piles, and timber
• Imitates crawfish, frog, rat/mouse, and bluegill on a single bait
• 5 color patterns to match any forage or cover type

Models & Colors

Tackle Express Tips

• Rod Tip Up: Keep your rod tip at 10–11 o'clock during the retrieve to keep the Roumba riding high in the surface film. Dropping the tip kills the wake action.
• Match Color to Cover: Bull Frog and Stink Bug are go-to colors over lily pads and green vegetation. Bluegill and Baby Bass shine around docks and timber. Albino is a low-light and clear-water standout.
• Don't Set Too Early: When a bass blows up on the Roumba, wait until you feel the weight of the fish before sweeping the rod. Premature hooksets are the #1 reason anglers miss fish on wakebaits.

FAQ

What makes the Roumba a "silent" wakebait?
The Roumba has no internal rattle — it relies entirely on its surface wake and profile to attract fish. This silent presentation is especially effective in clear water or when fish are pressured and spooking off noisy baits.

What rod and line setup works best?
A medium or medium-heavy 7'–7'4" casting rod with a 6:1 reel and 15–20 lb monofilament is ideal. Monofilament floats and helps keep the bait riding high in the surface film. Avoid braid — it sinks and can pull the bait under.

Can the Roumba be fished over thick grass without fouling?
Yes. The Roumba's body profile and hook placement allow it to glide over shallow grass without constantly fouling. Fish it just above the grass canopy with a slow, steady retrieve and the Owner ST-36 hooks will stay clean through most vegetation.

The Norman Deep Little N is a legendary Classic-winning lure that hunts in the 9-to-12 foot range. With a medium wobble, the DLN triggers strikes whether it's slow rolled or burned in.

A classic medium diver, the Deep Little N hits that 9-12 foot sweep spot quickly. With the famous medium-wide Norman action, the Deep Little N has posted wins in the biggest tournaments in the nation – including a Bassmaster Classic.

Cover water, then make them commit. The SPRO McStick 110 Jerkbait, designed by bass angler Mike McClelland, combines a weight-transfer system for longer casts with a darting jerkbait action. Work it with rod twitches and pauses to give following fish a chance to strike, whether you're using spinning or baitcasting gear.

Reach Fish Without Rushing the Retrieve

A short cast can leave a lot of fish untouched, especially when you need to cover a bank or reach a distant target. The McStick's weight-transfer design helps you get it out there. Once it lands, vary the cadence rather than simply winding it in: twitch, pause, and watch how fish respond. Casting distance and action still depend on your tackle and retrieve.

The Right Pick If...

You want a hard jerkbait for bass fishing with a long-casting design and a choice of baitfish-inspired and high-visibility finishes. Choose a subtle shade when a natural look suits the water, or a brighter finish when you want the lure to stand out. Exact running depth and suspension behavior are not confirmed here, so don't choose it on those specifications alone.

Best For

• Cast-and-retrieve jerkbait fishing for bass.
• Working points and banks with a twitch-and-pause presentation.
• Matching a natural shad look or trying a brighter color as conditions change.

Key Features

• Designed by professional bass angler Mike McClelland.
• Weight-transfer system intended to support longer casts with spinning or baitcasting gear.
• Darting action and multiple finish options.

Models & Specs

Pick a Look, Then Fish the Cadence

Start with Natural Herring, Ayu, or a shad pattern when a baitfish look fits the situation; try Clear Chartreuse or another bold color when visibility is limited. Select your color using the options and photos above. Cast past your target, work a twitch-pause sequence, and adjust the pause length if fish follow without striking. Inspect the hooks and line tie before each trip.

Tackle Express Tips

• Try a shorter pause first, then lengthen it if fish follow but don't commit.
• Keep some slack after each twitch so the lure can dart rather than simply pull straight ahead.
• Carry a natural and a brighter color to adapt to changing light and water clarity.

Quick Answers

Are hooks included? Yes. The product information says hooks are included even though they aren't shown in every picture.

Can I cast it on spinning gear? The listed weight-transfer design is described as suitable for both spinning and baitcasting gear; match your rod and line to the lure.

How should I retrieve it? Start with twitches and pauses, then adjust the cadence to fish response and conditions.

The Megabass Shading-X R 62 is fueled by a patented balancer system that enables dizzyingly high-pitch action and improved cast performance, elevating the finesse shad to exquisite new heights. Reengineered to perform in Japan’s toughest conditions, the Shading-X R 62 series is built to deliver bites when bass are keyed on precise, high-pitch action. The main spherical weight of the Triangle Counter Balancing System. operates as a traditional moving balancer, increasing cast distance on bait finesse and spinning setups alike.

The upper balancer truly comes alive when twitches cause it to shift along its lateral axis, adding unpredictable dynamism to the Shading-X R’s action. With one fixed weight and two moving balancers, the lure’s center of gravity is dynamically triangulated in every configuration from cast to retrieve, powering the Shading-X’s compelling performance. The thin, tapered body generates a high-pitched vibration that practically bursts at the seams, supercharging the kind of tight action that is often required in finesse situations.

Upon retrieve, the balancers roll into the forward position for an optimal head-down posture, enabling a hair-trigger responsiveness that will even bring the Shading-X R to life with ultra-slow pulls or extra-sensitive angler input. With a fast retrieve, the high-pitch vibration compels targets into decisive reaction bites. The engineering of the Shading-X R 62 series brings disparate parts together in perfect harmony, leveraging dynamic weight triangulation to deliver a new high-pitch predator for the toughest angling conditions.

This Evergreen FA Jerkbait is the answer to Morizo’s uncompromising search for tools that lead to a catch. As a tournament fisherman, Shimizu says he only uses tools he is confident will bring about absolute results. Regardless of season or field, this jerkbait has all the features — body shape, lip structure, action, distance, ability to go deep and much more — of an ultimate search bait that works with efficiency under any condition. Its significant vibrations move the water dynamically to attract fish near and far, then with an irregular dart, induces a strike in a lure-in-and-trigger-a-bite action that Shimizu favors. The jerkbait boasts complete mastery when it comes to searching a wide area.

FA-115: 4 1/2" - 5/8oz

FA-87: 3 3/8" - 5/16oz

All of Morizo Shimizu’s theories about jerking is contained in this killer-size jerkbait. We kept the original FA-115 features of distance and action, but added natural bite-inducing vibrations to withstand tougher fishing conditions. The FA-87 takes the original performance of the FA-115 and gives it more natural, whether its in the irregular and wide-angled dart action, the tight wiggle action and pauses of a pumping retrieve, and its use as a bait tackle even at this size thanks to its casting distance. This killer jerkbait has a small body with the versatility to go from stillness to motion, dramatic to subtle, and produce natural vibrations that lead directly to a bite.

Berkley Krej 100 Jerkbait

The Berkley Krej 100 does something no other jerkbait does: it rises on the work and slides backward on the pause. That unique ascending-then-back-sliding action — called "krejing" — keeps the bait in the strike zone longer and gives you a level of control that traditional jerkbaits simply can't match. It's a bait built with Forward Facing Sonar in mind, letting you watch the lure's movement in real time and dial in your cadence to match exactly what the fish want.

At 3.9 inches with a sinking design, the Krej 100 can be fished sub-surface as a traditional jerkbait or worked on the surface for a topwater presentation. Two ultra-sharp #6 treble hooks ensure solid hook sets on whatever you dredge up.

Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD Deep Diving Jerkbait

The bass are suspended at 6 feet, tight to a main lake point, and they haven't moved all morning. Standard jerkbaits can't reach them. That's exactly where the Lucky Craft Pointer 78DD was built to shine. DD stands for Deep Diver — and this 3" suspending jerkbait dives 5–7 feet, putting it right in the face of fish that are holding just out of reach of the standard Pointer 78.

Like all Pointer models, the 78DD is engineered with a specially designed brass weight system that creates an ultra-low center of gravity. Stop the retrieve and the bait wobbles and vibrates in place — emitting a subtle, bass-calling vibration that triggers strikes from lethargic, cold-water fish. A short twitch of the rod tip sends it darting side to side in a fluid underwater walk-the-dog action. And here's a pro tip straight from the Tackle Express team: use 6–8 lb fluorocarbon on a full spool — fluoro is heavier than braid and helps the bait reach maximum depth. Braid floats and will prevent the lure from diving properly.

Features

• Deep Diver (DD) bill dives 5–7 feet — deeper than the standard Pointer 78
• Brass weight system creates ultra-low center of gravity for wobble-and-vibrate on pause
• Suspending design stays locked in the strike zone
• Short rod twitch generates underwater walk-the-dog action
• Ideal for suspended, lethargic fish in cold water

Specs

• Length: 3" (7.8 cm)
• Weight: 3/8 oz (9 g)
• Depth: 5–7 ft
• Type: Suspending

Trophy Bass Fishing Applications

The Armajoint 190 excels in demanding trophy bass fishing situations. Work around deep structure and ledges where big fish hold, cast to points and humps, fish along weed edges and grass lines, target suspended fish in open water, or work around boat docks and laydowns. The slow sink rate allows you to control depth precisely while the ultra-realistic action triggers strikes from trophy bass that ignore other lures.

Versatile Retrieve Techniques

• Steady Retrieve: Simple straight retrieve produces natural swimming action
• Stop-and-Go: Pause during retrieve allows Flash Boost to continue working
• Twitch Retrieve: Erratic rod twitches create wounded baitfish action
• Slow Roll: Ultra-slow retrieve keeps bait in strike zone longer
