Freshwater Lures

The Deps Tiny Bullshooter 100 Bluegill is a compact, precision-engineered swimbait that delivers all the fish-catching features of its larger predecessor in a smaller package perfectly sized to match baby bluegill and small panfish. Designed for targeting wary bass in pressured waters, this 100mm swimbait excels around weeds, docks, and other areas where small bluegill live.

The Tiny Bullshooter's effectiveness comes from the realistic water displacement created by its jointed body design. It produces a fish-drawing action even with a straight retrieve, but with the right rod work, it achieves a weaving, roaming movement and can execute dramatic 180-degree turns that trigger explosive reaction strikes from following bass.

Engineered with innovative pectoral fins made of durable PVC material that stick to the body during the retrieve, then move and hover like a live bluegill when stopped. The uniquely shaped belly fin acts like a horizontal tail, helping to prevent snags while stabilizing the bait and enhancing its natural action. The slow-sinking design allows it to hover in the strike zone, making it deadly effective for finesse presentations.

• Stop-and-Go: Creates swimming and wandering action away from cover
• 180-Degree Turn: Unique feeding action triggers bites from followers
• Slow Roll: Methodical retrieve along bottom structure
• Hover Presentation: Pause to let pectoral fins move like live bluegill

Pro Tips:

• Add a feathered hook to fool pressured bass and increase attraction, especially in current
• Fish around weeds, docks, and shallow cover where baby bluegill live

Storage Warning:

Store your lures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Avoid storing in hot vehicles or tackle boxes during warm months, as high temperatures can cause deformation or cracking due to air expansion. We are not responsible for damage caused by improper storage in high-temperature conditions.

The Reaction Innovations Little Dipper 3.5" is a compact paddle tail swimbait built around a thumping tail action that produces a tight, rhythmic thump on the retrieve — effective as a standalone swimbait on a jig head or weighted hook, and equally effective as a trailer on a swim jig, chatterbait, or umbrella rig. The 3.5" profile matches smaller baitfish and is ideal for finesse and pressured conditions where a larger swimbait profile gets ignored. 9 per pack in 6 colors.

Key Features

• Thumping Paddle Tail — Tight Rhythmic Action — The paddle tail produces a tight, thumping action on the retrieve that creates vibration and water displacement; the tail thumps rhythmically at a wide range of retrieve speeds, from a slow roll near the bottom to a faster mid-water retrieve; the tight thump is most effective for triggering reaction strikes from bass that are actively feeding on baitfish.
• 3.5" Compact Profile — Finesse & Pressured Conditions — The 3.5" size matches smaller shad, shiners, and baitfish profiles and is most effective when bass are keying on smaller forage or when a larger swimbait profile is getting ignored; compact enough for light jig heads (1/8–3/16 oz) and finesse swim jig applications.
• Versatile Trailer & Standalone Applications — Effective as a standalone swimbait on a jig head or weighted hook, and as a trailer on a swim jig, chatterbait, or umbrella rig; the paddle tail adds action to any moving bait application.
• 9 Per Pack — 6 Colors — Nine baits per pack across 6 colors spanning shad, bream, and natural baitfish patterns.

Color Selection Guide

Best For

• Swim Jig Trailer — Primary Application — Thread the Little Dipper on the back of a swim jig for a full-profile baitfish presentation; the paddle tail adds a thumping action to the swim jig on the retrieve that complements the jig’s skirt movement; most effective on a steady retrieve through grass edges, laydowns, and open water.
• Chatterbait Trailer — Thread on the back of a chatterbait for a swimbait trailer that adds profile and paddle tail action to the blade’s vibration; the combination of the chatterbait’s blade thump and the Little Dipper’s paddle tail creates a highly effective baitfish presentation for reaction strikes.
• Umbrella Rig — Use as one of the trailer baits on an umbrella rig for a multi-bait schooling baitfish presentation; the 3.5" size is ideal for umbrella rig applications where a compact profile is needed.
• Standalone Swimbait — Jig Head — Thread on a 1/8–3/16 oz jig head and swim steadily for a compact baitfish imitation; most effective when bass are actively feeding on smaller baitfish near the surface or along grass edges; vary the retrieve speed to find the cadence that triggers strikes.

Features:

• The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 60 is a new, even smaller version of Larry Dahlberg's classic topwater lure.
• Measures just 2 3/8 inches, weighs 1/4 ounce.
• Propeller-like tail rotates and creates tons of surface commotion at a variety of retrieve speeds.
• Pre-rigged with size 8 black nickel trebles.
• Available in 8 essential topwater colors.

The Whopper Plopper 60 by River2Sea is a scaled-down version of Larry Dahlberg's beloved topwater lure series. At a mere 2 3/8 inches and 1/4 ounce, the Whopper Plopper 60 packs all the same enticing surface action as its larger counterparts in a compact and adorable form.

Not your average topwater lure, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper 60 features a propeller-like tail that adds an extra element of fun with its rotating motion and unique "plopping" splashing sounds. This tail is no joke either, built to withstand the rough conditions of rocks, wood, and big freshwater fish.

While the Whopper Plopper 60 is the smallest Whopper Plopper in terms of length, it has a deeper, wider belly that creates more of a bluegill profile like the Whopper Plopper 75. All in all, the Whopper Plopper 60 is a great choice for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass when the topwater bite is strong, but fish are pressured and used to a smaller forage base.

The original Pointer Series has a lively, powerful action with a side-to-side slide. Even though it is small, the Lucky Craft Pointer 48DD has an excellent castability and has the ability to tempt any bass. It silently enters the target and attacks unwary bass. The Pointer 48 is the right choice when you’re on fish and searching for strikes. This product is the one miracle bait for bass, trout, musky and every species of fish.

The Baitsanity Antidote 7 Glide Baits appeared on the swimbait scene just a few years ago with their Explorer Series swimbaits, starting with their Trout and Carp Explorers. These custom baits quickly found a home in the hands of big bait anglers looking for a full sized glide bait option that wasn’t as expensive as JDM imports like the Deps Slide Swimmer or Roman Made Negotiator. 

That swimbait is the Baitsanity Antidote, a Glide Bait that is crafted with an ABS Resin body for increased durability. The Antidote Glide Swimbait has a highly detailed air brushed paint job along with a single joint construction, with allows the Antidote Glide to swim Side-To-Side with a seductive “S” action that trophy sized bass can’t resist.

We've fished this bait several times and we're very impressed with the versatility.  On a slow wind, the bait will stay just under the water's surface creating a wake behind the bait.  We've found that this in often times what creates a strike.  A slow steady retrieve without popping the rod has been the most productive.   

The summer before the weeds grow too thick, the bait should be incredible.  Due to it's ability to stay in the first 6 inches of the water column, fishing this over grass or stickups makes this bait very unique.

Savage Gear Pulse Tail Bluegill RTF 4" Swimbait catch bass to redfish, Northern pike to speckled trout, many predators rely on some blend of vision and smell to locate prey; but across the board, vibration and water displacement play a significant role in forage location. Savage Gear capitalizes on these predatory instincts with the new family of Pulse Tail soft plastic baits.

Comprising the Pulse Tail Bluegill, Pulse Tail Shiner, Pulse Tail Mullet and Pulse Tail Baitfish, this innovative lineup excels at stimulating a predator’s feeding instinct. The first three baits are designed after particular forage, while the Pulse Tail Baitfish presents a more broadly applicable form that easily resembles a wide range of freshwater and saltwater forage species. For each of these models, the split rear fin design creates a realistic pulse swimming action that mimics the surge of a fleeing forage fish.

IMA Skimmer Grande Topwater Lure delivers an bigger version than the original that is targeted at attracting the hunting predators in the lake. Designed with a rear weight, the IMA Skimmer Grande provides a hard side to side attraction that differentiates it from all other topwater walking baits.

Built with a thinned-down shape, the IMA Skimmer Grande sits with its nose poking out of the water. When worked with quick jerks and the rod tip pointed down, the IMA Skimmer Grande stirs the water and creates a large boil behind the bait. This imitates the erratic nature of an injured baitfish.

 

The Ima Flit 100 Jerkbait is the effort of endless research and development. Ima combined Michael Murphy’s biology expertise with its own advanced technology and the Flit 100 was born.  The Flit 100, named for its erratic fleeing action and 100mm in length, was designed on the basic premise of “matching the hatch.”  

The Ima Jerkbait, designed with a wide back, flat sides, and a narrow stomach, is designed to closely mimic the flat-sided Herring and/or Panfish prey, common in the U.S.   The Flit 100 incorporates a realistic finish, a uniquely designed bill for ease of use and specially designed triangular chambers. This creates constant focal points of contact, maximizing vibration and sound consistency. The Ima Flit 100 is the next generation jerkbait designed specifically to trigger strikes and enhance your fishing experience.

Techniques:

• Jerk Pause:  Start with slack and end with slack after each series of jerks allowing the bait to glide back and forth.
• Deadsticking: Start out with a couple cranks and jerks to get the bait to desired depth and then pause the lure with slack line.
• Burning: Reel the jerkbait in fast spurts stopping periodically. A very effective technique around shad spawns and schooling fish.

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

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

Color Guide

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

Best For

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

The Yamamoto 3” Shad Shape Worm is perfect for ultra-clear water fishing. This smaller-profile bait mimics small baitfish and is a great choice for anglers seeking a challenge.
