Reaction Innovation's creativity has once again developed a bait that will put fish in the boat when others won't. The Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper is a soft plastic bait that can be effective in and around all types of structure. When you're faced with vegetation you can rig it weedless and swim it over grass beds or add weight to the hook and swim it through sumbmerged weeds.

The slender design of the Skinny Dipper coupled with the paddle tail creates a vibration in the water that bass cannot resist. The Skinny Dipper can also be deadly fished on a Carolina rig over humps and creek channels with grass and brush. The durability and size of the Skinny Dipper allows a hook size up to a 6/0 superline hook. For a different look, try the Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper, you won't be disappointed.

A collaboration between Daiwa's precision engineering and Gary Yamamoto's legendary soft plastic expertise, the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Macho 4.5" combines a high-density body with a bulbous tail for a larger, heavier profile that performs across a wider range of bass fishing techniques than a standard finesse worm. The high-density formulation gives the bait more weight and substance for a larger profile offering — making it versatile enough for standard soft plastic presentations like Texas rigs and Carolina rigs, while the larger size and density also make it an effective choice for heavier power fishing applications like punching heavy cover and flipping.

The bulbous tail produces a distinct action on the fall and during the pause that triggers strikes from bass that have seen conventional straight-tail worms. 

Key Features

• Daiwa + Gary Yamamoto Collaboration — Combines Daiwa's precision detailing with Gary Yamamoto's legendary soft plastic formulation; the same Yamamoto material quality trusted by tournament bass anglers in a purpose-designed Neko Macho profile.
• High-Density Body — Denser formulation than standard soft plastic worms provides more weight and substance for a larger profile; sinks faster and stays in the strike zone longer on the fall.
• Bulbous Tail — Distinctive bulbous tail produces a unique action on the fall and during the pause that differs from conventional straight-tail worms; triggers strikes from bass that have seen standard finesse worm presentations.
• Versatile Rigging — Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, neko rigs, wacky rigs, punch rigs, and flipping presentations; one bait that covers finesse through power fishing applications.
• 5 Proven Bass Colors — Natural forage imitations and proven attractor patterns covering clear water through stained water conditions.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Green Pumpkin — The universal bass color; natural crawfish and baitfish imitation effective in clear to lightly stained water across all seasons and techniques.
• Watermelon Copper Orange with Red Flake — Natural watermelon base with copper orange and red flake for added flash; effective in clear water where subtle color variation triggers strikes from pressured bass.
• Black and Blue — High-contrast dark attractor; most effective in stained or off-color water and low-light conditions where a dark silhouette is more visible to bass.
• Junebug — Dark purple/black attractor; proven in stained water and night fishing where dark colors produce a strong silhouette and trigger reaction strikes.
• Natural Shad — Translucent shad imitation; best in clear water where bass are keying on shad as primary forage; effective on neko and wacky rigs in open water.

Best For

• Neko & Wacky Rig — High-density body and bulbous tail produce a distinct fall action on neko and wacky rigs; heavier than standard finesse worms for a faster sink rate and more pronounced action.
• Texas & Carolina Rig — Larger profile and high-density formulation make the Neko Macho effective on Texas and Carolina rigs for bass in open water and around structure.
• Punching & Flipping — High-density body and larger profile make it an effective punch rig and flipping bait for bass in heavy cover; penetrates mats and vegetation more effectively than lighter soft plastics.
• Tournament Bass Fishing — Yamamoto soft plastic quality and Daiwa precision detailing in a versatile profile that covers multiple techniques with a single bait.

Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 130 Saltwater Jerkbait

The Channel Islands. A kelp edge. Calico bass stacked up and hunting bait. This is where the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 130 earns its reputation. Bigger, heavier, and more imposing than the Flash Minnow 110, the 130 was built for situations where a larger profile makes all the difference — keeping smaller fish off the bait while drawing bigger predators up from depth.

Unlike the floating Flash Minnow 110, the FM130 is a suspending bait that stays locked in the strike zone on the pause. Combining the best of the Pointer and Flash Minnow designs, it delivers a compelling side-to-side action on the twitch and slowly floats back up, making it incredibly versatile across a range of shallow to mid-depth saltwater situations. Whether you're working it on a straight retrieve or ripping and pausing through structure, the FM130 is a proven producer on calico bass, halibut, and inshore exotics.

Features

• Suspending design stays in the strike zone on the pause
• Larger 5-1/4" profile targets bigger fish and filters out smaller ones
• Side-to-side action combines the best of the Pointer and Flash Minnow
• Slowly floats up on pause — versatile across shallow to mid-depth situations
• Proven on calico bass, halibut, and inshore exotics at the Channel Islands
• Available in a wide range of saltwater color patterns

Specs

• Model: FM130
• Length: 5-1/4"
• Weight: 7/8 oz
• Type: Suspending

Best For

• Techniques: Twitch-and-pause, straight retrieve, rip-and-pause
• Species: Calico Bass, Halibut, Striped Bass, Yellowtail, and inshore exotics
• Environments: Inshore saltwater, kelp edges, rocky structure, Channel Islands, surf

Perfect For

When you need a bigger profile to pull larger fish up from depth and keep the small ones off, the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 130 is the upgrade from the 110 that serious inshore anglers reach for. Step up your game — step up your size.

The Fish Arrow Wheel Head Jig Head is a pretty neat little jig head.  The blade spins as you run the jig head through the water creating vibration and water movement.  We find it extremely effective with a Fish Arrow Flash J Shad Swimbait and a slow to medium wind.  Stained or dirty water is the key to really making this technique shine but we've caught lots of bass in gin clear water too. 

Sampo Ball Bearing Swivel Welded Ring Scissor Snap is prefered on the West Coast for big game fishing and all types of trolling. Nickel-plated brass snap and welded rings at both ends are super strong and matched to swivel size for top no-twist protection.

Hot on the heels of one of the most popular baits of 2023 comes the all-new Yamamoto 2.5" Yamatanuki. Much like its 3.5” big brother, the 2.5” Yamatanuki is a power-finesse offering that fish can’t resist. It weighs ¼ oz alone, is available in 8 colors, falls with the same tantalizing sway and shimmy, and allows for countless rigging opportunities to fit most any scenario. This new size of the Yamatanuki was repeatedly requested by our pros and consumers who wanted a smaller, more compact version of their new favorite soft plastic.

The smaller size allows for greater application in clear water, smallmouth, spotted bass, and other finesse scenarios. The 2.5” perfectly fits the bill as it can be fished on light line, rigged weightless, or on most any style of jig head. It can be cast, pitched, skipped, dropped, or presented however the situation calls for. As usual, you can expect consistent and top-quality products from a bait company that’s proudly made in the USA.

The 2.5” Yamatanuki will take your finesse fishing game to a whole new level! Count Per Bag: 10

At just 4.75 inches and under 1 oz, this jointed glide bait mirrors the legendary walk-the-dog motion of the oversized KGB Chad Shad 180—but in a finesse-friendly size that fools finicky largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass during tough bites like cold fronts or heavy fishing pressure. Its lifelike baitfish profile glides effortlessly with subtle tail kicks, drawing savage strikes from monsters hiding in cover or open water.

Ideal for intermediate swimbait anglers transitioning to big baits without bulky gear—pair it with standard 7-foot medium-heavy rods and 15-20 lb fluoro for all-day casting comfort. Available in 9 vibrant colors like Bone White and Sexy Shad to match any forage.

Berkley PowerBait Gilly Swimbait – 110mm

When finesse is the call, the Berkley PowerBait Gilly Swimbait 110mm is the right tool. Designed by Bassmaster Classic Champion Mike Iaconelli with Japanese influence in both design and technique, the 110mm Gilly is the more compact, finesse-oriented size — perfect for clear water, heavily pressured fisheries, and situations where a subtler profile gets more bites.

Rather than a traditional segmented body, the Gilly uses scale-shaped ribs in the tail section to produce an undeniably realistic baitfish movement that coaxes strikes even from the most wary fish. Its versatility is unmatched — rig it weightless with the hook sideways through the body for the best action, or adapt it to a jighead, weighted swimbait hook, Texas rig, or drop shot.

Features

• 110mm finesse profile — ideal for clear water, pressured fish, and subtle presentations
• Scale-rib tail design — realistic baitfish movement without traditional segmentation
• Hyper-realistic profile — effective even in ultra-clear, heavily pressured fisheries
• Versatile rigging — weightless sideways hook, jighead, weighted swimbait hook, Texas rig, drop shot
• Pro-designed by Bassmaster Classic Champion Mike Iaconelli
• 2 per pack

Best For

• Techniques: Weightless, jighead, swimbait hook, Texas rig, drop shot
• Conditions: Clear water, pressured fisheries, finesse situations
• Species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass

These P-Line Rock Cod Rigs are ready to hit the water.  They include the line, swivels, hooks, and two plastic squids.  The Rock Cod Rig is a smaller version of the highly effective Ling Cod Rig. At 3.5 inches these squid are the perfect length for school sized rockfish. This version is also tied on 50 pound leader, but uses a smaller 5/0 hook. When it’s time to load the cooler with a limit of Rock Cod you’d better have one of these rigs in your arsenal.

Here at Tackle Express, we like to put a small piece of squid or some gel fish attractant on the squid.  The gel scent can be Hookup Baits Mermaid Milk, Smelly Jelly, Hot Sauce, or any kind of scent that stays on well.  We like to put it inside the squid so it releases slowly. 

Add a weight that is heavy enough to get to the depth of water you're fishing, hit the bottom and jig it up and down 3 feet at a time using the rod tip.  After a few times, send it to the bottom again since the terrain can change as the boat drifts.
