TheΒ Halco Max 220 LureΒ is a massive 220mm long and weighs a substantial 180 grams and its slender profile casts like a bullet into the strongest breezes. It has been designed to run straight and true severalΒ meters below the surface in the roughest of sea conditions. The streamlined design allows for high operating speeds and maximum hook exposure, so critical in lure design.
Maxβs effective operating envelope is exceptional, ranging from a fast hand retrieve to a racy 14 knots while trolling.Β You can troll it up to 21 knots but there is no need to troll it that fast.Β That just demonstrates that it can be trolled fast and has a nice tight wobble.
Like all Halco lures, Max is constructed out of high tech polymers and has been built with strength and durability in mind. Heavy duty Halco Fish Rings and 2 extra strong Mustad hooks are standard equipment on Max and it is available in nine fish catching colors.

Why Buy the Yamamoto 3.75" Shad Shape Worm?
Proven on California lunkers and quickly becoming a go-to across the country, the Yamamoto 3.75" Shad Shape Worm is a finesse bait that punches well above its weight class. Its healthy shad profile, salt-impregnated body, and smooth, even fall rate make it one of the most natural-looking finesse baits in the water β and bass know it. In clear water or high-pressure conditions, this is the bait that gets bit when nothing else will. 10 per pack at $5.51.
Main Use & Benefit
A 3.75-inch salt-impregnated shad-profile finesse bait designed for natural baitfish imitation on drop shot, shaky head, darter head, and fly-line presentations β its smooth, even fall and realistic shad silhouette trigger strikes from finicky bass in clear water and pressured fisheries.
Problem It Solves
Standard finesse worms don't produce the realistic baitfish profile and smooth, non-rolling fall that triggers finicky bass in clear water. The Shad Shape Worm's healthy shad silhouette and salt-impregnated body create a natural, even fall that looks like a dying baitfish β exactly the presentation that gets bit when bass have seen everything else.
Advantages
- β Healthy shad profile β realistic baitfish silhouette that triggers finicky bass
- β Salt-impregnated body β natural fall rate, added scent, fish hold on longer
- β Smooth, even fall β no rolling or spinning on the drop

- β Proven on California lunkers and pressured fisheries nationwide
- β 10 per pack at $5.51 β excellent value
- β οΈ Only 4 color options currently available β focused on proven natural forage shades
- β οΈ Finesse-focused β not designed for power fishing or heavy cover applications
When to Choose It
Reach for the Shad Shape Worm when bass are keying on baitfish in clear water, when standard finesse worms are getting ignored, or when you need a natural, dying-baitfish presentation that stays in the strike zone. It's the go-to for high-pressure fisheries, post-frontal conditions, and any situation where a realistic shad profile outperforms a standard worm.
Best Fishing Techniques
- Fly-Line (Mosquito Hook) β the Tackle Express team's favorite: thread a mosquito hook through the nose or mid-bait and twitch it along the bottom; the subtle, dying-baitfish action is irresistible in clear water
- Drop Shot β nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12β24" above the weight; the shad body quivers and glides with every twitch for a natural suspended baitfish presentation
- Shaky Head β thread onto a 3/16β1/4 oz shaky head for a stand-up presentation on hard bottom; the shad profile quivers naturally on the pause
- Darter Head β swim on a 1/8β3/16 oz darter head for a darting, baitfish-style retrieve through open water and over structure
- Ned Rig β compact presentation on hard bottom for finicky fish in clear water
Best Conditions
- Clear water (visibility 2ft+) where a natural baitfish profile is most effective
- Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days
- Heavily pressured tournament lakes and clear natural lakes
- Open water and mid-depth structure (10β30ft) on drop shot and shaky head
- Year-round β especially effective in summer and fall when bass are keying on shad

Tackle Express Tips
- Fly-line it on a mosquito hook β Thread a #1 or #2 mosquito hook through the nose of the Shad Shape Worm and twitch it along the bottom on 6β8 lb fluorocarbon. The subtle, dying-baitfish action is the most natural presentation you can make in clear water β and it's the Tackle Express team's top pick for this bait.
- Natural Shad for clear water β Natural Shad is your go-to in clear water where a realistic forage match is critical. Switch to Houdini Too in slightly stained water or when you need a subtle reaction color that still looks natural.
- Light line is key β The Shad Shape Worm's smooth fall and natural action are best showcased on 6β8 lb fluorocarbon or 10β15 lb braid with a 6β8 lb fluoro leader. Heavy line kills the action β go as light as you're comfortable with for maximum bites.
FAQ
Q: What makes the Shad Shape Worm different from a standard finesse worm?
A: The Shad Shape Worm has a healthy shad body profile β wider and more baitfish-shaped than a standard straight tail worm β combined with a salt-impregnated formula that produces a smooth, even fall with no rolling or spinning. The result is a more realistic baitfish imitation that triggers strikes from finicky bass that have seen standard finesse worms.
Q: What hook size works best for fly-lining the Shad Shape Worm?
A: A #1 or #2 mosquito hook (Owner, Gamakatsu, or similar) works best. Thread it through the nose for a head-down fall, or through the mid-body for a more horizontal, gliding presentation. Use 6β8 lb fluorocarbon for the most natural action.
Q: Is the Shad Shape Worm good for smallmouth bass?
A: Yes β it's excellent for smallmouth on drop shot and shaky head over rock, gravel, and hard bottom. The shad profile is a great match for the smaller baitfish smallmouth key on in clear lakes and rivers. Natural Shad and Green Gizzard are top smallmouth colors.
The Owner 4301 X-Strong Single Replacement Hook Pro Pack is the go-to upgrade when trebles are working against you. Built with extra-strong wire, a forged shank, and Owner's Super Needle Point, these hooks are designed to punch through heavy grass, navigate thick cover, and still drive home on the strike β all while being far gentler on fish at the boat.
Built for the 4301 Series
The 4301 was engineered specifically as a treble hook replacement for crankbaits, jerkbaits, swimbaits, and multi-hook lures. X-Strong wire construction handles the shock of aggressive strikes without bending out, and the Black Chrome finish fights corrosion in both freshwater and inshore salt environments. Pro Pack quantities mean you stock up and stay fishing.
Why Trebles Fail in Cover
Treble hooks are a liability the moment you're near grass, laydowns, or dock pilings. Three exposed points means three times the snag risk. They also make clean catch-and-release harder β tangled trebles cause deeper wounds and longer handling time. The 4301 solves this: one strong point, far less drag through cover, and a hook removal at the livewell that takes seconds, not minutes.
What Sets It Apart
- X-Strong Wire β Extra-heavy gauge holds up in matted vegetation and under hard-fighting fish
- Super Needle Point β Bites fast on light pressure; no need to power-set to get purchase
- Black Chrome Finish β Resists rust in freshwater and inshore saltwater conditions
- Forged Shank β Maximum strength without adding unnecessary weight to the lure
- Treble Drop-In Replacement β Matches standard split ring sizes; swap in minutes
- Pro Pack Quantities β Bulk counts per size so you're never caught short mid-season
The Right Pick Ifβ¦
- You fish crankbaits or jerkbaits in grass, hydrilla, or heavy cover
- You practice strict catch-and-release and want faster, cleaner releases
- You're in a jurisdiction or tournament with single-hook requirements
- You want to reduce hook tangles during lure retrieval and netting
- You fish inshore or freshwater and need corrosion-resistant hardware
Best Fishing Techniques
- Crankbait fishing in submerged vegetation β replace all trebles before the first cast
- Jerkbait fishing over shallow flats β reduces fouling and improves lure action
- Swimbait rigging on larger profile baits (1/0β2/0)
- Topwater walking baits β front hook forward, rear hook rearward for clean hookup geometry
- Inshore plugging for snook, redfish, and trout
Best Conditions
- Heavy grass, hydrilla, milfoil β single hook slides through where trebles hang up
- Dock and structure fishing β less fouling on posts and cables
- Shallow flats and grass beds β inshore single-hook regulation areas
- Tournament fishing β cleaner C&R means healthier fish in the livewell
Best For
- Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass (crankbaits, jerkbaits)
- Snook, Redfish, Speckled Trout (inshore plugging)
- Tournament anglers in C&R-focused events
- Anglers fishing single-hook-only regulation waters
- Any lure angler who fishes in or near vegetation
Models & Specs
Specs are loaded dynamically from product metafields. Sizes available: #6, #4, #2, #1, 1/0, 2/0 β Pro Pack quantities vary by size.
Tackle Express Tips
- Orient hooks correctly. Front hook faces forward, rear hook faces rearward. This isn't optional β wrong orientation kills hookup ratio and throws off lure balance.
- Size to the split ring, not the lure. Match the hook gape to the split ring diameter on your existing lure. A hook that's too large will kill action; too small and you'll miss fish.
- Keep extras on the boat. Pro Pack quantities exist for a reason. These are consumable β keep a spare pack in your tackle tray so a bent hook doesn't end your day.
FAQ
Q: Will replacing my trebles with single hooks affect lure action?
A: Minimally, if you size correctly. The 4301 is designed to closely match the weight profile of standard trebles. In most cases, lure action improves slightly because there's less hook drag through the water column.
Q: Can I use these in saltwater?
A: Yes. The Black Chrome finish provides solid corrosion resistance for inshore use. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure to extend hook life.
Q: How do I know which size to buy?
A: Match the hook size to your existing treble β if you're running #4 trebles, start with #4 single replacements. Check Owner's sizing chart for gape width if you're unsure, or ask us at Tackle Express.

The Whopper Plopper 110 from River2Sea is a downsized iteration of Larry Dahlberg's renowned topwater lures. At just under 4 1/3 inches and 1 ounce, this little guy still has all the captivating surface action of the original Whopper Plopper.
With its propeller-like tail that spins, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper 110 creates unique rumbling and multi-octave splashing noises that set it apart from other topwater lures. This tail is also extremely durable, able to withstand the rough treatment of rocks, wood, and big freshwater fish.
While the Whopper Plopper 110 is the smallest Whopper Plopper in terms of length, it has a deeper, wider belly that creates more of a bluegill profile than the other sizes. All in all, the Whopper Plopper 110 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.
Each Whopper Plopper 110 comes pre-rigged with two size 4 premium black nickel trebles and is available in 10 colors to match any fishing condition. Grab one today and a whopping catch is expected to arrive in no time!
