The Z-Man Finesse TRD (The Real Deal) is a 2.75-inch stickbait designed specifically for the Ned Rig, a finesse technique famous for catching bass in tough or highly pressured conditions. It is widely considered a staple for smallmouth, largemouth, and spotted bass.

Key Features

• 10X Tough ElaZtech: This proprietary material is virtually indestructible, often lasting for dozens of catches per bait.

• Buoyancy: Unlike traditional plastics that sink flat, the TRD is naturally buoyant, causing it to stand vertically off the bottom when at rest to mimic a feeding crawfish or minnow.

• Salt-Impregnated: The soft formulation and salt content provide a precise sink rate and an irresistible feel that encourages fish to hold on longer.

• Dimpled Texture: A realistic, dimpled surface adds to its natural look and feel.

The Nomad Tackle VERTREX MAX soft vibe is all about maximum vibration and maximum depth. It has a lifelike action that sinks level and straight, getting down to the fish faster. The deep body profile combined with finely tuned internal weights delivers a soft vibration bait with a huge vibration at super slow speed and even more vibration at higher speeds. The amount of vibration you can achieve at slow speeds just gently hopping this lure on or near the bottom is what sets the Vertrex Max apart from all other soft vibration baits. The deeper body with a wide belly design ensures that even at slow speeds the Vertrex Max is vibrating and attracting attention. The Vertrex features a full wire internal construction for extra strength and is fitted with the ultimate BKK hooks so you can fish it straight out of the box.

Vertrex Max Soft Vibe is suited to be fished at depths from 40ft-200ft of water. The Vertrex Max can be fished in a similar way to a slow pitch jig. The best technique is to drop them to the bottom and then use 3-10 slow lifts with a short pause off the bottom to get it vibrating on the lift and then as it glides back down on the drop it will often get hit. They can be worked fast or slow, but the Vertrex Max is has huge vibration at slow speeds making it highly effective for this technique.

The Megabass Vision 110 Jr. harnesses the winning features of the highly acclaimed Vision 110 jerkbait in a compact 98mm (3.85in) size, delivering a high level of action per inch that outshines even its larger counterpart.

The expertly crafted Vision 110 Jr. has been revamped from the ground up to enhance the dynamic movements of the original and broaden the jerkbait series. Distilled from the ONETEN, this smaller version showcases exaggerated darting and rolling patterns, as well as enticing wobbling and rolling actions. Thanks to the dual-tungsten weights of the Megabass Multiway Moving Balancer System (PAT.), this compact lure offers exceptional casting distance.

The Deps Slide Swimmer 250 returns in a new and improved form as the ultimate trophy bass swimbait. Now constructed with a durable, hard-injected plastic core that ensures every bait is perfectly uniform, while still covered in the familiar soft coating that gives the Slide Swimmer its incredibly lifelike feel and legendary action.

The revolutionary upgrade features Deps' unique inner spring system within the head of the Slide Swimmer. When the bait is paused, this spring continues to send off micro-vibrations that entice even the wariest trophy bass into striking. This proven technology, tested and refined through years of development, adds a critical triggering element that separates the Slide Swimmer from all other big baits.

At 10 inches (250mm) and 6.5 ounces, the Slide Swimmer 250 is the ultimate weapon for targeting giant bass that feed on large trout, gizzard shad, and other substantial forage. The soft outer coating creates realistic swimming action with subtle body roll, while the hard inner core provides the structural integrity needed for long casts and repeated battles with trophy fish. The combination of visual realism, natural swimming motion, and continuous micro-vibrations makes this the go-to bait for serious trophy bass hunters.

Duran's DFP Mega Clamp for Casting Reels is more than 200% wider than stock clamps and the most secure clamp on the market! It works with low profile and conventional reels that have mounting holes in the reel from the manufacturer.  It will give your fishing reel added security so it doesn't move and is necessary for deck hand rods.

A deckhand rod is a rod that does not come with a reel seat.  The benefit to a deck hand rod is to have the ability to mount the reel in the ideal location depending on your preferences.  

This clamp is designed to be used with stock hardware and protect your expensive blanks from being crushed. Deep serrations on the inside and rounded edges on the outside equal a comfortable grip and maximum holding power for those long battles.

This clamp is CNC Machined out of aircraft grade 6061 aluminum and anodized to prevent corrosion. Custom laser cut stainless steel inserts and washers are provided so it will work for a wide variety of reels. Another cool add on feature is an adjustable trigger that can be taken on or off depending on your fishing style. 

• Trigger Sold Separately
• Ideal for deckhand rods
• Will not work with spinning reels or rods
• Wider surface area to displace pressure to prevent blank damage.
• The millimeters(mm) listed is in relation to the diameter of the rod.  Measure where the reel goes, wether it is on the rod itself or the reel seat, and that will tell you what clamp you need.

The Clear Choice Tuna Propper is the latest addition to the Clear Choice Lure collection. It comes with 5x hooks and HD hardware, so it can be used right away. Species such as Big Tuna, GT's, and Snappers will be irresistibly drawn to this lure. It can be deployed by simply casting it out, or it can be slowly trolled through clean water following the boat, something not doable with most cast-able topwater baits. Its design mimics that of a flying fish or injured baitfish, leading to intense strikes. Prepare yourself for explosive action on the rod!

The all new Shimano Armajoint 190 Slow Float Flash Boost Swimbaits solve the challenges of casting a big jointed swimbait in search of trophy fish. Lure engineers leverage Shimano's proprietary Arma-Boost technology to significantly increase casting distance and accuracy by reducing unnecessary air resistance and the chances of the lure spinning during flight. As the angler casts the lure, Arma Boost technology facilitates the lure to disconnect from an internal magnet and forces the body to fold into its compact shape. Once the lure hits the water, the lure's body reengages with the magnet to create a smooth and natural swimming action.

The Shimano Armajoint 190SF is a versatile lure that can be retrieved fast or slow, enabling anglers to vary their retrieve depending on the situation. The bait will normally swim in an S-pattern, but the bait will not flare out when stopped due to the fold in its body. Anglers can slow down the receive and pause the to capitalize on the lure's natural slow-rising action. ARMAJOINT also features Shimano's proprietary FLASH BOOST technology that constantly emits a fish-attracting flash during the retrieve — even on the pause — by suspending reflective foil on micro springs to mimic the flashing behavior of an injured baitfish. Designed with purpose by leveraging innovation and technology and improving angler performance while drawing strikes from tournament-winning bass.

ROF: Slow Float

Length: 190mm (7.48in.)

Weight: 53g (1 7/8oz)

Features: 

• Arma Boost to increase a lure's casting distance by folding a jointed lure into a compact shape, reducing air resistance and minimizing the chances of the lure spinning during flight.
• Flash Boost suspends reflective foil on micro springs within the clear section of the lure body and provides an action designed to mimic the movements and flashing behavior of an injured baitfish.
• Scale Boost capitalizes on composite-pitch holograms to increase the amount and complexity of light reflected through the water.

The Mustad Jigging Assist Rig is designed for heavy jigging. Featuring a heavy-duty wide gap Mustad hook rigged with high quality PE and Kevlar materials.  The assist hook is connected to the top end of the slim jigging lure to improve hookset, as the fish often strikes at the top end.
