SPRO

The Spro KGB Chad Shad Swimbait is one of the great advances in fishing over the past several years is the development of glide baits. These oversized, single-jointed, hard-bodied fish imitators were created to mimic trout in California lakes but have morphed into replicating large bass prey across the country. The KGB Chad Shad 180 can resemble virtually any baitfish that bass feed on, such as trout, shad, perch, and other types of fish.

The Glide Bait designed by SPRO and KGB Swimbaits has been perfected with experience. Kevin Brightwell, the designer of KGB Swimbaits, has greatly enjoyed the partnership with SPRO. “It’s been a wonderful experience. It’s all been very natural with nothing forced, and we’ve been able to take a proven bait and make something new and fresh based off of that. It all started when I was sourcing hooks and they recognized who I was. After talking about glide baits and some fishing, they asked if I’d like to partner with them. Since then it’s been an awesome partnership.”

Brightwell thinks the KGB Chad Shad 180 will find a home in tackle boxes of anglers at every experience level. “The Chad Shad is one of the most popular baits in my lineup. It’s versatile enough that a beginner can garner results, or a seasoned pro can use it for that big kicker fish to finish out their limit. It delivers the performance of a hand-crafted, fine-tuned bait at an affordable price.”

SPRO Flappin Frog 65 gives bass anglers a topwater frog they can buzz across the surface or slow down around a promising opening. Its legs kick with slight forward movement, so you can change pace without changing baits. A floating elastomer body lets you stop it after a missed strike and give a fish another look.

Keep the Legs Working

Some days bass react to a fast, noisy retrieve; other days they want the frog walked back more slowly. The Flappin Frog is made for both approaches. Its Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook supports a weedless presentation around cover, while the TPE body is designed for durability. The real advantage is being able to experiment with speed and pauses on the same cast.

The Right Pick If...

You want a 65 mm topwater frog with kicking-leg, buzzing action for freshwater bass fishing. Choose it for moving surface presentations and the option to stop after a missed bite. For a popping presentation instead, compare the SPRO Bronzeye Popper Frog 60; for a smaller popper profile, see the Bronzeye Baby Popper 50.

Best For

• Topwater bass fishing around vegetation and cover.
• Buzzing retrieves with the legs kicking across the surface.
• Slower walks and pauses when fish follow or miss the bait.

Key Features

• 65 mm length and 5/8 oz weight, as stated in the existing listing.
• Floating TPE elastomer body.
• Kicking legs that create buzzing topwater action.
• Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook.
• Twelve listed color options.

Models & Specs

How to Fish It

Cast past the cover you want to work and bring the frog across the surface so the legs kick and buzz. Vary the speed, then stop it near an opening or after a missed strike. Around thick vegetation, match it with a suitable frog setup; SPRO Bronzeye Braid 8X Moss Green is another line option to consider.

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with a steady retrieve, then slow down if fish follow without taking it.
• Pause near gaps in cover to give a fish time to come back.
• Check the legs and hook for weeds after each pass through vegetation.

FAQ

What size is the Flappin Frog 65? The listing states 65 mm and 5/8 oz.

Can I pause it after a missed strike? Yes. Its floating body lets you stop the bait and try to draw a follow-up bite.

What hook does it use? The existing specifications list a Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook.

The SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jig 2PK gives float-and-fly fishing a compact, easy-to-control presentation for bass, crappie, panfish, and trout. Fish it beneath a bobber, with a split shot, or fly lined on light 4- or 6-pound line. You can swim it with a steady retrieve or make it rise and fall with the rod tip, so one small jig covers several finesse presentations.

Each package includes two Phat Fly hair jigs. Choose from 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz sizes in five color patterns to match the depth, pace, and profile you want to show the fish.

Why This Little Jig Gets Invited Along

The Phat Fly is built for anglers who want a small lure that can be presented at a controlled depth or worked through the water column. Its compact hair-jig profile is equally at home under a float, ahead of a small split shot, or on a light line with no added weight.

When a Small Profile Needs More Life

A tiny jig can be difficult to keep in the strike zone if it only moves one way. The Phat Fly gives you multiple ways to change the presentation: a straight wind for steady movement, a bobber for depth control, or a lift-and-drop retrieve that sends the jig up 12–24 inches before it falls back through the water.

Built for Finesse Presentations

• Float-and-fly fishing for bass, crappie, panfish, and trout
• Bobber rigs when you want to suspend the jig at a chosen depth
• Split-shot presentations when you want a little extra weight
• Fly-line fishing on light 4- or 6-pound line
• Straight-wind retrieves for steady movement
• Lift-and-drop retrieves with a 12–24 inch rod-tip lift

The Right Pick If...

• You want one small jig that works with a float, split shot, or no added weight.
• You fish light line and need a compact presentation for multiple freshwater species.
• You like changing the lure's depth and cadence instead of committing to one retrieve.
• You want a two-jig pack with bass, bluegill, shad, ghost, and chartreuse-inspired color options.

What It Does Best, and When to Choose Something Else

The Phat Fly shines when finesse, depth control, and a subtle moving target matter more than maximum casting distance or heavy bottom contact. Its 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz sizes are made for light-tackle presentations. If you need a lure for heavy cover, deep fast current, or a power-fishing retrieve, choose a heavier setup instead.

How to Fish It

For a float-and-fly presentation, suspend the jig beneath a bobber and adjust the depth until the bait is traveling where fish are holding. Add a split shot when you need the jig to get down more quickly, or fly line it on 4- or 6-pound line for a clean, natural fall.

Start with a steady retrieve when fish are willing to chase. When they need a slower presentation, raise the rod tip quickly 12–24 inches and let the jig fall back down before repeating the motion. The combination of lift, pause, and fall gives you an easy way to vary the cadence without changing lures.

Best Conditions

Reach for the Phat Fly when you want to keep a small hair jig suspended, moving lightly through the water, or falling on light line. Use 1/16 oz for the most delicate presentation and 1/8 oz when you want a little more weight for depth control or a quicker fall. Let the target species, depth, and desired retrieve determine the color and size.

Color and Size Guide

• 1/16 oz: The lighter choice for a delicate float, fly-line, or slow-fall presentation.
• 1/8 oz: Adds weight when you want to reach depth or make the lift-and-drop cadence more pronounced.
• Baby Bass: A natural bass-inspired option in the available lineup.
• Blue Gill: A bluegill-pattern choice for a familiar freshwater profile.
• Blue Shad: A baitfish-style color option.
• Chartreuse Ghost: A brighter option when you want more visual contrast.
• Grey Ghost: A subdued ghost-color alternative.

Key Features

• Hair jig profile: Compact presentation for freshwater finesse fishing.
• Two sizes: Available in 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz.
• Five color patterns: Baby Bass, Blue Gill, Blue Shad, Chartreuse Ghost, and Grey Ghost.
• Multiple rigging options: Fish it with a bobber, split shot, or fly lined.
• Light-line friendly: Designed for 4- or 6-pound line presentations.
• Two per pack: Each package includes 2 jigs.

Models & Specs

Every model below is sold as a 2-pack of SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jigs.

Tackle Express Tips

• Set the bobber depth first, then change retrieve speed before changing colors. The Phat Fly is designed to let you control both depth and cadence.
• On a lift-and-drop retrieve, lift the rod tip 12–24 inches and let the jig fall all the way back before repeating the motion.
• Keep 4- or 6-pound line in mind when building the rig. The light line keeps this small presentation working as intended.

FAQ

What species can I catch with the SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jig?
It is suited to bass, crappie, panfish, and trout, especially when a compact freshwater presentation is the right fit.

Can I fish the Phat Fly under a bobber?
Yes. It was designed for float-and-fly fishing and can also be used with a split shot or fly lined on 4- or 6-pound line.

What is the best retrieve?
Start with a straight wind, then try a lift-and-drop retrieve. Raising the rod tip 12–24 inches and letting the jig fall back down gives you a simple way to add height and pause to the presentation.

Complete the Setup

Build a light-tackle system around the Phenix Elixir Series Ultralight Spinning Rods, or add a compact alternative such as the Lead Masters Mini Tube Jigs. For another small-profile option, compare the Phat Fly with the Basstrix Mini Trix 1.5-inch Soft Plastic Minnow.

Pick the size that matches your depth, choose a color that fits the forage or visibility you want, and let the Phat Fly's light presentation do the searching.

SPRO Power Swivel Standard puts smooth line-twist control into a compact connection. Built with a brass body and stainless-steel line ties, this Japan-made swivel suits anglers who want to keep their terminal tackle tidy without ignoring strength. Pick the size that fits your line, leader and presentation, then let the swivel rotate as your rig moves.

A Small Connection That Keeps Turning

Twisted line can make a finesse rig harder to manage and cause frustration between casts. The Power Swivel's smooth rotation is meant to reduce that problem, while its gunmetal-black finish keeps the connection visually subdued. The range covers lighter freshwater presentations such as drop-shot rigs through larger inshore and saltwater setups. It is a swivel, not a snap: for quick lure changes, compare the SPRO Prime Snap Mini or the SPRO Prime Snap.

The Right Pick If...

You need line-twist control and want to choose a swivel by the dimensions and test ratings in the chart below. Smaller sizes keep the connection compact for finesse work; larger ratings suit rigs with higher strength demands. Match the swivel to your entire setup rather than choosing by the fish species alone.

Best For

• Drop-shot and other finesse rigs where line twist is a concern.
• Freshwater and saltwater terminal-tackle connections.
• Choosing a compact swivel by listed length, eye size and test rating.

Key Features

• Brass body and stainless-steel line ties.
• Smooth rotation to help manage line twist.
• Gunmetal-black finish.
• Ten listed sizes, from size 10 through 2/0.

Models & Specs

Dimensions and test ratings follow the existing size chart. The previous opening copy described size 10 as a quarter-inch long, but its chart says 3/8 inch; confirm that dimension if it matters to your rig. Size 7's variant label says Qty 5 while its SKU ends in “-10”; verify the physical pack count before ordering by quantity.

Rigging and Care

Connect the swivel between the appropriate line and leader or rig components, then check knots and make sure it rotates freely. Inspect it after fishing grit or debris, and rinse your terminal tackle after saltwater use.

Tackle Express Tips

• Start with the eye size and test rating, not just the size number.
• Check the knots and rotation before a long session.
• Use a snap separately if you also need fast lure changes.

FAQ

What does a swivel help with? It rotates to help manage line twist in a rig.

What is the smallest listed size? Size 10 is listed at 35 lb test and 3/8-inch length in the existing chart.

Is a snap included? This is the standard swivel listing, not a snap-swivel combination.

Choose the size suited to your setup and keep the connection turning.

SPRO Essential Series Gouken Fluorocarbon Line helps you stay in touch with a lure when subtle bites or changes in bottom feel are easy to miss. This Japanese-made line combines a small listed diameter with minimal stretch and abrasion resistance, making it a practical choice for power fishing around rocks, logs, weeds and other structure.

Feel More, Even Around Rough Cover

When a lure ticks bottom or brushes past a log, line feel matters. Gouken is designed to keep contact with the lure while standing up to contact with structure. Its level-wound 164-yard / 150-meter spool is intended to reduce line twist and kinks as you load a reel. For anglers who want more line of the same series, compare the Gouken 656-yard spool.

The Right Pick If...

You want fluorocarbon with a direct, sensitive feel for power-fishing techniques, especially around abrasive cover. It has minimal stretch, so anglers who prefer a more forgiving line should account for that when setting drag and choosing a rod.

Best For

• Power-fishing presentations around rocks, wood and vegetation.
• Keeping contact with a lure to notice light bites and bottom changes.
• Pairing with moving baits such as the SPRO Little John 50 Crankbait, when fluorocarbon suits your setup.

Key Features

• Japanese-made fluorocarbon line.
• Minimal stretch for sensitivity and lure contact.
• Abrasion-resistant construction for fishing around structure.
• Level-wound 164 yd / 150 m spool.

Models & Specs

All listed variants come on a 164 yd / 150 m spool. Diameters are from the existing product specifications.

Fishing and Spooling Tips

• Match the listed strength to your lure, reel and the cover you fish.
• Check the line regularly for rough spots after contact with rocks or wood.
• Keep steady tension while spooling to take advantage of the level-wound line.

FAQ

How much line is on the spool? Each listed option is 164 yards / 150 meters.

What strengths are available? The listed variants are 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20 lb.

Is there a longer spool? Yes, Tackle Express also lists a 656-yard Gouken spool.

Choose the strength that fits your rig and keep contact with your lure through the next stretch of cover.

Don't let a tiny connection be the weak link. Spro Power Split Rings connect hooks or terminal hardware to compatible lures. Choose the size that fits the lure and hook eyes and suits the load your full rig is designed to handle.

Make Hook Changes With Confidence

A split ring is easy to overlook until a hook needs replacing. These rings offer seven size options, from lighter setups to heavier terminal tackle, so you can match the connection rather than use whatever ring is on hand. A stronger ring won't make a light hook, line, or lure attachment stronger.

The Right Pick If...

You're replacing a lure's hook ring, assembling terminal tackle, or keeping spare rings in your kit for on-the-water repairs. Check that your chosen ring fits through both eyes and closes fully after installation.

Best For

• Hook attachment and replacement on compatible fishing lures.
• Terminal tackle and lure tie-point connections that call for a split ring.
• Freshwater or saltwater setups sized to the listed ring rating.

Key Features

• Power split-ring design for hook and tie-point connections.
• Seven listed sizes with strength ratings from 32 lb to 225 lb.
• Pack counts vary by size, from 6 to 20 rings.

Models & Specs

Strength ratings and pack counts reflect the current variant labels.

Fit Comes First

Use split-ring pliers to open only as much as needed, then work the hook or lure eye around the coil. Check that the ring seats and closes cleanly before fishing. Inspect rings for distortion or damage when swapping hooks, particularly after a hard fight or snag.

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the ring's rating to the rest of your setup, not just the target species.
• Test lure and hook movement after fitting a new ring; the wrong fit can interfere with the connection.
• Keep spare rings in your most-used sizes so a damaged connection doesn't end the session.

Quick Answers

Are all packs the same quantity? No. Each size has its own pack count in the table.

Can I use these for hook changes? Yes, where a split ring fits the hook and lure eyes.

Which size should I buy? Check both eyes for fit, then choose a rating appropriate to the whole rig.

Complete the Setup

For a line connection, compare the Spro Heavy Swivel. Building a branched bottom rig? See the Spro Three Way Swivel. For a swivel supplied with split rings, see the Spro Ball Bearing Swivel with 2 Split Rings.

The Spro Prime Bucktail Jig is not like any other jig on the market. The unique shape of the head and placement of the eyelet help bring this lure to life. With bulging eyes, holographic finish, and blazing color, it puts fish at your mercy. The uniqueness of this bait is that it doesn’t fall or hang straight down like other bucktails. It glides through the water, almost swimming along. When jigged, its body stays almost parallel to the bottom maintaining a very natural appearance.

Like all SPRO products, Prime Bucktail Jigs are made with durable, super sharp Gamakatsu hooks. Once you fish it, you’ll know why SPRO is the shape of things to come. It’s hard to fish the Prime Bucktail wrong. It can be jigged off the bottom for weakfish, fluke, or other saltwater fish.

Cast it at schooling fish working it quickly back to the boat for cobia, stripers, snook, or dorado. Swim it along in freshwater for big bass and walleyes, or troll it for reservoir stripers. It’s hard to find somewhere that the Spro Prime Bucktail won’t work.

SPRO RkCrawler 55 Crankbait is made for anglers who want a wide-wobbling crankbait to work through rocky cover. Designed by Mike McClelland, it has a hunting action and is intended to bounce off cover, giving you a way to change direction and trigger a reaction as the lure deflects. Cast beyond the rocks, keep contact, and let the bait do its work.

Let the Rocks Change the Retrieve

A straight retrieve does not always get attention. The RkCrawler's wide wobble and cover-deflecting action give bass a moving target that changes course around structure. It is a better fit when you want that lively action near rocks than a tighter-wobbling crankbait such as the SPRO Little John 50 or the Little John MD 50. Choose the other bait by the depth you need to reach; a running-depth specification for this RkCrawler listing is not provided.

Best For

• Freshwater bass fishing around rocky cover.
• Cranking into suitable structure to create deflections.
• Anglers who want a wider wobble and hunting action.

Key Features

• Mike McClelland-designed crankbait.
• Wide-wobbling, hunting action.
• Designed to bounce off rocky cover.
• 26 listed color options.

Models & Specs

Colors and SKUs: CLEAR (SRC55CLR); CELL MATE (SRC55CMT); MOLTING CRAW (SRC55MCW); MELON CRAW (SRC55MLW); AYU SHAD (SRC55ASD); BRNT ORNG CRW (SRC55BOW); CLEAR GILL (SRC55CGL); DELTA CRAW (SRC55DCW); GOBBY (SRC55GBY); GREEN CRAW (SRC55GCW); GHOST ORANGE CRAW (SRC55GOC); MISSOURI CRAW (SRC55MSW); NASTY SHAD (SRC55NSD); OZARK CRAW (SRC55OCW); OLIVE CRAW (SRC55OLC); PB&J (SRC55PBJ); RED BUG (SRC55RBG); ELECTRIC RED CRAW (SRC55ERW); REAL PERCH (SRC55RPC); RED RIVER CRAW (SRC55RRW); SPRING CRAW (SRC55SCW); SPARKLE SHAD (SRC55SPK); PHANTOM WATERMELON (SRC55PWM); PHANTOM BROWN (SRC55PBR); RED CRAW (SRC55RCW); Phantom green (SRC55PGR).

How to Fish It

Cast beyond a rocky stretch and retrieve so the bait reaches and deflects off suitable cover. Try a brief pause after contact, then resume cranking. Adjust retrieve speed to suit the spot and check your line for wear after repeated rock contact. For a line option designed with abrasion resistance in mind, see SPRO Gouken Fluorocarbon.

Tackle Express Tips

• Make casts from different angles to change how the bait meets the rocks.
• Watch for a strike just after a deflection or pause.
• Inspect your line and hooks regularly around abrasive cover.

FAQ

What action does the RkCrawler 55 have? The existing listing describes a wide wobble with hunting action.

What cover is it designed around? The product copy emphasizes bouncing off rocks and other suitable cover.

What depth does it run? A running-depth figure is not given in the current product details; choose your line and retrieve for the water you fish.

The Lure That Won Lake Oneida

The SPRO Dean Rojas Bronzeye Popper Frog 60 is the exact lure Dean Rojas used to win the BASS Elite Series tournament at Lake Oneida — and it's been a go-to topwater weapon for bass anglers ever since. Where a standard walking frog gets ignored, the Popper's cupped mouth blasts water and sound on every twitch, calling bass up from deep in the slop. This is the frog you reach for when they won't come to anything else.

Sound That Triggers Strikes

The Bronzeye Popper's cupped face creates a loud, aggressive pop on each rod twitch — displacing water and sending vibration through the surface that bass can feel from yards away. Paired with the soft hollow body that collapses on the hookset, and the specially designed Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG Double Frog Hooks, this bait is built to draw the strike and seal the deal.

Why Walking Frogs Miss the Bite

On pressured lakes or in low-visibility conditions, bass often ignore a walking frog that slides silently across the surface. The Popper changes the equation — its aggressive sound and water displacement triggers reaction strikes from fish that have seen every other topwater bait in the box. When the walking frog stops working, tie on the Popper.

Weedless Through the Worst Cover

The Gamakatsu hooks ride point-up against the soft body, making the Bronzeye Popper virtually snag-free through lily pads, hydrilla mats, and emergent vegetation. Fish it through the nastiest cover on the lake with confidence — and when a bass blows up on it, the body collapses instantly for a solid, deep hookset.

The Right Pick If...

• Walking frogs are getting ignored or short-struck
• You're fishing pressured water where bass have seen everything
• You want a frog that creates noise and surface disturbance
• You're targeting bass in lily pads, hydrilla, or open-water slop
• You want a tournament-proven bait with a proven color lineup

Best Frog Fishing Techniques

• Pop and Pause: Short, sharp rod twitches to pop water, then let it sit — the pause is when most strikes happen
• Pop and Walk: Alternate pops with side-to-side walking action for a more erratic, aggressive presentation
• Dead Sticking: Cast over a mat pocket, pop once, and let it sit motionless — deadly in post-spawn
• Burning: Fast retrieve with rapid pops across open water to trigger reaction strikes

Best Conditions

• Summer and early fall when bass are shallow and aggressive
• Pressured lakes where bass have seen too many walking frogs
• Overcast days and low-light periods — early morning and late evening
• Heavy cover: lily pad mats, hydrilla, duckweed, and emergent vegetation
• Warm water temps above 65°F when topwater activity peaks

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Pike
• Techniques: Topwater Popping, Frog Fishing, Heavy Cover, Open Water
• Conditions: Warm water, heavy vegetation, low-light, pressured fisheries

Key Features

• Dean Rojas Signature Series — tournament-proven at Lake Oneida
• 1/2 oz weight — easy to cast on medium-heavy to heavy baitcasting gear
• 60mm profile — natural baitfish/frog size
• Cupped mouth creates loud, aggressive popping action
• Specially designed Gamakatsu 3/0 EWG Double Frog Hooks
• Collapsible soft hollow body for maximum hookup ratio
• Weedless design — fishes through the nastiest cover
• 18 in-stock color patterns to match any water condition

Specs

Models & Colors

Tackle Express Tips

• Pause After the Pop: The strike almost always comes on the pause, not the pop. Twitch, pop, then let it sit for 2–3 seconds before moving it again — especially over mat pockets.
• Match Sound to Conditions: On calm, glassy water the pop carries far — use a subtle pop-and-pause. On choppy or windy days, pop more aggressively to cut through surface noise.
• Wait for the Weight: Don't set the hook on the explosion — wait until you feel the fish pulling before sweeping hard to the side. Premature hooksets are the #1 reason anglers miss frog fish.

FAQ

What rod setup works best with the Bronzeye Popper Frog 60?
A medium-heavy to heavy 7'–7'6" baitcasting rod with 50–65 lb braided line is ideal. The braid gives you the sensitivity to feel the strike and the power to pull fish from heavy cover.

How is the Popper Frog different from the Bronzeye Frog 65?
The Bronzeye Frog 65 is a walking frog — it slides side-to-side on the surface. The Popper has a cupped mouth that blasts water and creates a loud popping sound on each twitch, making it more aggressive and effective on pressured fish or in low-visibility conditions.

Is the Bronzeye Popper weedless?
Yes. The Gamakatsu 3/0 hooks ride point-up against the soft body, making it virtually snag-free through lily pads, hydrilla, and other dense vegetation.

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

Change Lures Without Rebuilding Your Rig

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

Best For

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

Key Features

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

Models & Specs

The Right Pick If...

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

Tackle Express Tips

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

FAQ

How many snaps come in a pack? Six.

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

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

Pick the size that fits your rig and keep a pack handy for your next lure change.

SPRO Prime Snap makes lure changes quick when you are surf fishing or plugging. Its egg-shaped connection is designed to let a lure move freely, while the wire end bends at 90 degrees for a cleaner profile around cover. Change the presentation without cutting and retying every time the bite shifts.

More Fishing, Less Retying

When you are testing different plugs, a snap can save time between casts and keep the attachment simple. The Prime Snap's shape is intended to preserve lure action, and its bent wire end helps make the connection less likely to catch vegetation. Choose a listed strength suited to your complete line, leader and lure setup. If you need a smaller connection for lighter applications, compare the SPRO Prime Snap Mini.

The Right Pick If...

You regularly change lures while surf fishing or plugging and want the option of listed 50, 75, 125 or 175 lb strengths. The snap is not a swivel: if line twist is the problem, consider a separate SPRO Power Swivel Standard as part of your rig.

Best For

• Surf fishing and plugging with repeated lure changes.
• Keeping a lure's connection free to move.
• Matching snap strength to different leader and lure setups.

Key Features

• Egg-shaped snap connection intended to support lure action.
• Wire end bent at 90 degrees for a sleeker profile.
• Four listed sizes, from 50 to 175 lb.
• Quick lure attachment without retying for every change.

Models & Specs

Pack counts for sizes 5 and 6 come from the existing product description; the counts for sizes 3 and 4 are not specified there.

How to Use It

Attach the snap to your leader, close it fully around the lure's attachment point, and check the connection before casting. Switch plugs as conditions change, then inspect the wire after contact with rough structure or a hard fight.

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the snap's listed strength to the rest of your rig rather than choosing by lure size alone.
• Check that the closure is seated after every lure change.
• Replace a snap that has bent or no longer closes securely.

FAQ

What sizes are listed? Size 3 (50 lb), size 4 (75 lb), size 5 (125 lb) and size 6 (175 lb).

How many are in a pack? The original listing confirms seven for size 5 and six for size 6; it does not state pack counts for sizes 3 and 4.

Is this a snap swivel? No. This product is a snap; add a swivel separately if your rig needs line-twist control.

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 — 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 — exposing both Gamakatsu hooks for a solid, deep hookset. No more short strikes. No more missed fish.

The Right Pick If...

• You're fishing matted vegetation, lily pads, or slop where other lures can't go
• You want a frog that walks easily with minimal rod work
• You need a lure that casts far and lands right every time
• You're targeting largemouth bass in warm-water conditions
• You want tournament-proven performance in a proven color lineup

Best Frog Fishing Techniques

• Walking the Dog: Twitch the rod tip rhythmically to create a side-to-side walk on the surface
• Dead Sticking: Let it sit motionless over a pocket in the weeds — let the bass come to it
• Burning: Reel fast across open water to trigger reaction strikes
• Popping: Short, sharp twitches to create a splash-and-pause action

Best Conditions

• Summer and early fall when bass are shallow and aggressive
• Overcast days when bass are more likely to be on top
• Low-light periods — early morning and late evening
• Heavy cover: lily pads, hydrilla mats, duckweed, and emergent vegetation
• Post-spawn when bass are guarding shallow flats

Best For

Tackle Express Tips

• Go Heavy on Braid: Use 50–65 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 3–5 seconds — 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'–7'6" 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.

Spro Ball Bearing Swivel with Welded Rings

The true ball bearing swivel is heavy duty and will hold up to some of the biggest fish.  Having welded rings makes it even stronger and better since you don't have sharp end that you would normally get from split ringed swivels.

Standard swivels don't actually have ball bearings inside and can hang up when pulling on big fish.  The rotation with the Spro Ball Bearing Swivel with Welded Rings is unmatched and will not hang up or freeze under heavy loads.  

With ratings as low as 40lbs and as high as 420lbs, you are sure to find the size and pound rating to suit your fishing.  Just make sure you rinse them after saltwater use so they can be used again and again.  

Give each branch of your rig its own connection. The Spro Three Way Swivel is a compact option for building a reverse dropper-loop rig for halibut or bottom fish, or a double-fluke rig. Its three-way layout helps organize the main line, leader, and dropper rather than crowding them onto one connection.

Keep a Multi-Line Rig Manageable

When a dropper and leader cross, tangles can cost you fishing time. This swivel's three connection points help separate the branches, while the original listing highlights strength in a compact profile and corrosion resistance. It works with live bait or ahead of a lure where a three-way arrangement suits your presentation. It does not eliminate tangles on its own: leader lengths and how you fish the rig still matter.

The Right Pick If...

You're tying a halibut or bottom-fishing dropper setup, or a double-fluke rig, and want a compact three-way junction. Select the rating to suit your full rig and target fish, not just the swivel's size number.

Best For

• Reverse dropper-loop-style rigs for halibut and other bottom fish.
• Double-fluke rigs where two branches need an organized connection.
• Live-bait or lure rigs that call for a three-way junction.

Key Features

• Three-way connection for main line, leader, and dropper.
• Compact size with strength ratings listed by option.
• Corrosion-resistant construction described in the original listing.
• Pack quantity varies by size; check the table before ordering.

Models & Specs

Rigging Notes

Connect the main line to one eye, then attach your leader and dropper to the other two according to your rig. Keep the branches at practical lengths for your bait or lure and inspect each knot before dropping down. Rinse the swivel after saltwater use.

Tackle Express Tips

• Check the pack count when comparing sizes: the options range from two to eight swivels.
• Test the finished rig in the water and adjust branch lengths if the lines cross.
• Match the swivel rating to your weakest connection and the conditions you're fishing.

Quick Answers

What is a three-way swivel for? It joins a main line to two separate rig branches, handy for a dropper setup or double-fluke rig.

Does every size have the same pack quantity? No. Pack counts are shown for each size in the table above.

Can I use it in saltwater? The original listing describes corrosion resistance and saltwater applications; rinse it after use.

The Legendary BBZ-1 in a Compact, Fish-Catching Package

The Spro BBZ-1 Jr. Swimbait is the compact version of one of the most iconic hard swimbaits ever made. Designed by swimbait legend Bill Siemantel, the BBZ-1 Jr. delivers the same natural S-action and lifelike baitfish profile as the full-size BBZ-1 in a 6" package that triggers big strikes from largemouth bass, stripers, and other large predators. This bait has been producing for years and keeps on producing — because the action is simply that good.

Multi-Jointed Action That Swims Like the Real Thing

The BBZ-1 Jr.'s multi-jointed body produces a fluid, natural S-curve swim at any retrieve speed. Whether you're burning it near the surface, slow-rolling it through the water column, or letting a Slow Sink model hover in the strike zone, the bait stays in its lane and looks alive. Paired with lifelike finishes that match real forage species and premium Gamakatsu treble hooks, this is a hard swimbait built to get bit and keep fish pinned.

When Bass Have Seen Every Soft Bait in the Box

Pressured fish get conditioned to soft swimbaits fast. The hard-bodied BBZ-1 Jr. offers a completely different look, sound, and feel — the durable resin body displaces water differently and the jointed action creates subtle vibration that soft baits can't replicate. When the bite dies on soft plastics, tie on a BBZ-1 Jr. and change the game.

Sink Rate Options Let You Fish Any Depth, Any Condition

The BBZ-1 Jr. is available in Floater and Slow Sink models, giving you the flexibility to target fish at different depths and in different conditions. The Floater works the surface and upper water column; the Slow Sink (1 ft per 3 seconds) lets you hover the bait in the strike zone longer for finicky fish. Choose your sink rate based on where the fish are holding.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a proven hard swimbait with decades of big fish history behind it
• You're targeting largemouth bass, stripers, or large predators in fresh or inshore water
• Soft swimbaits have stopped producing and you need to change the presentation
• You want sink rate options to target fish at different depths

Best Fishing Techniques

• Steady slow-roll retrieve through the water column
• Surface or near-surface burn with the Floater model
• Hovering the Slow Sink in the strike zone on a pause-and-go retrieve
• Open water schooling fish situations
• Casting to structure, points, and drop-offs

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water where the lifelike finish is most visible
• Post-spawn and fall when bass are chasing baitfish
• Pressured fisheries where soft swimbaits have been heavily worked
• Freshwater lakes and reservoirs; inshore striper and calico fishing

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, striped bass, spotted bass, pike, large predatory fish
• Techniques: Hard swimbait fishing, slow-roll, surface presentation, pause-and-go
• Environments: Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, inshore saltwater

Key Features

• 6" multi-jointed hard swimbait — natural S-action at any speed
• Durable resin construction for long-lasting performance
• Lifelike finishes matching real forage species
• Premium Gamakatsu treble hooks for solid hookups
• Available in Floater and Slow Sink models
• Designed by swimbait legend Bill Siemantel

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match sink rate to fish depth. If fish are holding near the surface or in shallow cover, go Floater. If they're suspended mid-column or holding deeper, the Slow Sink lets you hover the bait right in the zone on a pause.
• Slow down more than you think. The BBZ-1 Jr.'s action is most effective at a slow, deliberate retrieve. Most anglers fish it too fast — let the jointed body do the work and give fish time to commit.
• Check your hooks regularly. The Gamakatsu trebles are sharp out of the box, but big fish and structure can dull them. Touch up with a hook file or swap trebles after heavy use to keep your hookup rate high.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Floater and Slow Sink models?
The Floater (2 oz) stays at or near the surface and is ideal for shallow presentations and surface-feeding fish. The Slow Sink (2.25 oz) descends at approximately 1 foot per 3 seconds, allowing you to work the bait through the water column and pause it in the strike zone for suspended or deeper fish.

What gear should I use with the BBZ-1 Jr.?
A medium-heavy to heavy swimbait rod in the 7'–7'6" range pairs well with the BBZ-1 Jr. Use 15–20lb fluorocarbon or monofilament for most presentations. Fluoro works well in clear water; mono gives the Floater a slightly more buoyant action.

Is this bait good for striped bass?
Yes — the BBZ-1 Jr. is an excellent striper bait, particularly in inshore and freshwater striper fisheries. The 6" profile and lifelike finish match common striper forage, and the multi-jointed action triggers reaction strikes from fish of all sizes.

The Spro Rat 40 Wakebait is built for the topwater blowup every angler is chasing. Two years in development and an ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category, the Rat triggers the instinctive, reaction strike that big predator fish 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.

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. That versatility means one bait in your box covers several presentations depending on mood and conditions.

The Right Pick If...

You're targeting big largemouth, smallmouth, or other topwater predators and want a floating bait that draws explosive surface strikes rather than subtle bites. It's equally at home worked over grass flats, points, and open water wherever big fish are keyed on baitfish near the surface.

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 baitfish are active near the surface. Low wind and calm water let the wake action show at its best, though a slight chop can also trigger reaction strikes from fish keyed on the commotion.

Best For

• Big largemouth and smallmouth bass hunting topwater prey
• Early morning and evening surface bites
• Bulging, v-waking, walking the dog, or popping retrieves
• Anglers who want one bait that covers multiple topwater presentations

Key Features

• ICAST Best of Show winner in the hard lure category
• Versatile action: bulge, v-wake, walk the dog, or pop
• Sticky-sharp Gamakatsu hooks standard
• Floating body for consistent surface presentation

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Downsize to the Spro Rat 25 for finesse topwater situations, or size up to the Spro Rat 50 when targeting trophy-class fish.
• Match low light conditions, like early morning or dusk, with a natural shad pattern, and save brighter patterns like Chrome Silver for overcast or stained water.
• Upgrade to stainless steel split rings if you fish saltwater-adjacent brackish water or want extra insurance against bent hardware on big strikes.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Rat 25, 40, and 50?
They're sized differently to match the size of forage and target fish, with the Rat 40 sitting in the middle at 4 inches and 1 ounce.

What retrieve works best to start?
A steady v-wake retrieve is a good starting point, then experiment with bulging or popping based on how fish respond.

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

The Finesse Braid Built for Precision Anglers

When the bite is tough and every presentation counts, you need a line that casts effortlessly, holds strong, and gives you a visual edge on subtle strikes. The SPRO Finesse Braid 8X in Flash Pink was engineered specifically for finesse applications — drop shots, ned rigs, shaky heads, and any technique where feel and control win the day.

Built for Finesse, Proven on the Water

Constructed from premium Japanese fibers in an 8-carrier braid configuration, the SPRO Finesse 8X Flash Pink is noticeably smoother than 4-strand alternatives. That smoothness translates directly into longer, quieter casts and reduced guide wear — critical when you're making hundreds of presentations in a single session.

Why Standard Braid Falls Short

Most braided lines are built for power fishing — heavy cover, big baits, maximum strength. Finesse fishing demands something different: a line thin enough to feel every tick of a drop shot, quiet enough not to spook pressured fish, and strong enough to handle a surprise big bite. Standard 4-strand braid is too coarse, too loud, and too stiff. The SPRO Finesse 8X solves all three problems.

Why 8-Strand Wins Here

The 8-carrier construction creates a rounder, denser braid profile that glides through guides with minimal friction. The result: exceptional castability, near-silent retrieves, and a line that lays flat on your spool without digging or bunching. Pair that with phenomenal abrasion resistance and incredibly high knot strength, and you have a finesse line that can handle rocks, docks, and unexpected trophy fish without flinching.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a high-visibility pink line for easy bite detection on spinning gear
• You're fishing drop shots, ned rigs, shaky heads, or wacky rigs
• You're targeting pressured bass, trout, or panfish in clear to stained water
• You want a braid-to-fluorocarbon leader setup for finesse applications
• You fish light jigs or small swimbaits in open water or around light cover

Best Fishing Techniques

• Drop shot — feel every subtle tap with zero stretch sensitivity
• Ned rig / mushroom head — perfect for slow, subtle bottom presentations
• Shaky head — ideal for dragging and hopping in rocky structure
• Wacky rig — smooth casting with spinning gear, minimal line twist
• Light swimbait — maintain feel and control on slow retrieves

Best Conditions

• Clear to lightly stained water — flash pink high-vis color aids bite detection
• Pressured fisheries where finesse presentations outperform power fishing
• Rocky or hard-bottom structure where abrasion resistance is critical
• Calm to moderate conditions where casting distance and accuracy matter

Best For

• Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, trout, panfish
• Techniques: Drop shot, ned rig, shaky head, wacky rig, light jigging
• Gear: Spinning reels, light to medium-light rods, 6–16 lb. applications

Key Features

• 8-carrier Japanese fiber construction for maximum smoothness
• Flash Pink high-visibility color for superior bite detection
• Exceptional abrasion resistance through rocks and cover
• Incredibly high knot strength — holds under pressure
• Ultra-quiet retrieve through guides
• 164 yards / 150m per spool
• Available in 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 lb. test

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Go with a fluorocarbon leader: Tie 6–10 ft. of 6–10 lb. fluorocarbon to your braid with an Alberto or FG knot for near-invisible presentations in clear water.
• Match your line test to your rod: The 6–8 lb. sizes shine on ultralight to light spinning rods; step up to 10–12 lb. for medium-light rods fishing around light cover.
• Use the Flash Pink to your advantage: Watch the line where it enters the water — a subtle twitch or sideways movement often signals a bite before you feel it in your hand.

FAQ

Is the SPRO Finesse Braid 8X Flash Pink good for spinning reels?
Yes — the 8-carrier construction creates a round, smooth profile that lays evenly on spinning spools and minimizes line twist, making it an excellent choice for spinning setups.

Should I use a leader with this braid?
For most finesse applications in clear water, yes. A 6–10 ft. fluorocarbon leader in matching or slightly lighter pound test will reduce visibility at the business end while keeping the sensitivity benefits of braid.

Does the pink color spook fish?
No — Flash Pink is a high-visibility color for the angler, not the fish. It disappears underwater at depth and is designed to help you detect subtle bites by watching the line, not to attract or spook fish.

The SPRO Swimbait 8" is one of the most productive, longest-lasting swimbaits on the market. Its action, color, and build quality set it apart from baits that look similar but don't hold up or swim the same once they hit the water.

Why a Straight Retrieve Leaves Bites on the Table

Big, wary fish often follow a swimbait without committing when it just swims in a straight line. Bill Siemantel's technique for this bait is a directional change: give it a quick jerk before starting your retrieve, then one or two more sharp jerks mid-cast and near the end. Each jerk snaps the bait a full 180 degrees, which is often exactly what turns a follow into a strike.

Built to Match the Forage

Available in floating, slow sinking, and fast fall models, you can match the bait's fall rate to the depth and mood of the fish, and the color range is built to mirror the natural forage most game fish key in on, from baitfish patterns to trout and carp profiles.

The Right Pick If...

You're targeting big largemouth bass, striper, or other large predators in waters where trophy-sized forage like trout or carp patrol, and you want a swimbait durable enough to fish hard, season after season.

Best Techniques and Conditions

Use the floating model for working over cover and shallow flats, and the slow sink model when you need to get the bait down to suspended or deeper-holding fish. Works best around structure and open water where big fish ambush large forage, and responds especially well to the jerk-and-pause directional change technique.

Best For

• Trophy-class largemouth bass and striper keyed on large forage
• Matching natural baitfish, trout, and carp forage patterns
• Triggering follows into strikes with directional-change jerks
• Anglers who want a durable swimbait that holds up over a full season

Key Features

• 8-inch profile built to match trophy-sized forage
• Available in floating and slow sinking models
• Responds dramatically to Bill Siemantel's directional-change jerk technique
• Durable construction that holds up to repeated big-fish strikes

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Start every retrieve with a hard jerk before the bait moves, that initial directional change often triggers a reaction strike from fish that just watched it land.
• Use the Killer Carp pattern on waters with carp forage, and Silver Fish for more general baitfish-matching situations.
• If you need a smaller profile for the same technique, try the Spro BBZ-1 Jr. Swimbait.

FAQ

Should I choose the floater or the slow sink?
Pick the floater for working over cover and shallow flats, and the slow sink when you need the bait to reach suspended or deeper-holding fish.

What's the best way to work this bait?
Don't just cast and retrieve steadily. Jerk it hard before starting your retrieve, then add one or two more sharp jerks mid-cast to trigger directional changes that draw strikes.

Is this bait durable enough for repeated big-fish strikes?
Yes, it's built to hold up as one of the longest-lasting swimbaits in its class, season after season.

When Bass Are Thinking Big

The SPRO Bronzeye King Daddy 90 Frog is built for one thing: trophy fish. At 1 oz and 90mm, this is the magnum version of the legendary Bronzeye series — same tournament-proven design, same Gamakatsu-grade hardware, just scaled up for the biggest bass in the lake. When the bite is big and the cover is thick, the King Daddy is the full meal deal.

Built for the Talica Series — Big Rods, Big Fish

The King Daddy's 1 oz weight loads heavy-action rods effortlessly, launching long casts over mats, pads, and open flats. It lands belly-down every time thanks to precision weighting, and the soft hollow body collapses on the hookset to expose the heavy-duty 6/0 Gamakatsu Double Frog Hooks — hooks built to handle the shock of a 5+ lb bass blowing up from below.

Why Smaller Frogs Miss the Mark

In post-spawn and late summer, big bass are keyed in on larger prey. A 65mm frog gets ignored while a 90mm profile triggers the reaction. The King Daddy fills that gap — big enough to draw out the fish that won't commit to a smaller bait, but still weedless and walkable through the nastiest cover on the lake.

Weedless. Walkable. Unstoppable.

The hooks ride point-up against the soft body, making the King Daddy virtually snag-free through lily pads, hydrilla mats, and emergent vegetation. Walk it, pop it, or dead-stick it over a pocket — the King Daddy does it all. And when a trophy bass commits, the hookup ratio is exceptional.

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting trophy largemouth in heavy vegetation or slop
• You want a frog that casts farther and lands right every time
• Smaller frogs are getting ignored or short-struck
• You're fishing post-spawn or late summer when big bass want a big meal
• You need a lure that can handle a heavy-action baitcasting setup

Best Frog Fishing Techniques

• Walking the Dog: Rhythmic rod-tip twitches create a side-to-side walk — the King Daddy's weight makes this effortless
• Dead Sticking: Cast over a mat pocket and let it sit — big bass will come up for it
• Burning: Fast retrieve across open water to trigger reaction strikes from aggressive fish
• Popping: Short, sharp twitches to splash and pause over likely ambush points

Best Conditions

• Late summer and early fall when trophy bass are shallow and feeding heavily
• Post-spawn when big females are recovering on shallow flats
• Overcast days and low-light periods — early morning and late evening
• Heavy cover: lily pad mats, hydrilla, duckweed, and emergent grass
• Warm water temps above 65°F when topwater activity peaks

Best For

• Species: Largemouth Bass, Pike, Muskie, Trophy Bass
• Techniques: Topwater, Frog Fishing, Heavy Cover, Open Water Walking
• Conditions: Warm water, heavy vegetation, low-light, post-spawn, late summer

Key Features

• 1 oz weight — optimal for long-distance casting on heavy-action rods
• 90mm profile — magnum size that triggers big-fish strikes
• Precision belly-down weighting system
• Heavy-duty 6/0 Gamakatsu Double Frog Hooks
• Collapsible soft hollow body for maximum hookup ratio
• Weedless design — fishes through the nastiest cover
• 12 color patterns to match any water condition
• Fishes effectively in heavy cover and open water

Models & Colors

Tackle Express Tips

• Go Heavy on Everything: This is a 1 oz bait — use 65 lb braid minimum, a 7'6" heavy or extra-heavy baitcaster, and a high-speed reel (7:1+) to pick up line fast after the hookset.
• Dark Colors for Dark Water: In stained or murky water, Midnight Walker and Rainforest Black create the best silhouette. In clear water, try Natural Green or Albino.
• Wait for the Weight: With a big frog and a big bass, the strike can be explosive. Don't set the hook on the splash — wait until you feel the fish pulling before sweeping hard to the side.

FAQ

What rod and reel setup should I use with the King Daddy 90?
A heavy or extra-heavy 7'6" baitcasting rod paired with a high-speed reel (7:1 or faster) and 65 lb braided line is ideal. The 1 oz weight needs backbone to cast and power to pull fish from heavy cover.

Is the King Daddy 90 weedless?
Yes. The 6/0 Gamakatsu hooks ride point-up against the soft body, making it virtually snag-free through lily pads, hydrilla mats, and other dense vegetation.

How does the King Daddy 90 differ from the Bronzeye Frog 65?
The King Daddy is the magnum version — 90mm vs 65mm, and 1 oz vs 5/8 oz. It's designed to target trophy bass that want a bigger meal, and it pairs with heavier tackle for fishing the nastiest cover.
