HEDDON SLOPENOSE
The legendary Heddon brand has a new update to the Slopenose, a bait first patented by James Heddon in 1902. They took the same design of the antique wooden lure and made a durable and modern plastic version.
It has a unique metal ring around the bait and can be fished like a popper, chugger, or stickbait with a walk-the-dog action.
YUM SPINE CRAW
The YUM brand has a host of great soft plastics and the newest is the Spine Craw, a 3.75” craw that can be fished a variety of ways. It has a compact body and a great action from the angled appendages. It can be fished as a flipping and pitching bait and works excellent on the back of a jig.
YUM NED RIG PRODUCTS
The Ned Rig is
everywhere these days
and YUM has three new
plastics and several kits
that have everything
you need to go and
catch some bass.
The Ned Dinger is
a three-inch version of their popular soft-stickbait. It is the perfect size for a Ned Rig and has an air pocket in the tail to trap air and keep the bait sitting straight up when the jighead is resting on the bottom.
The Ned Minnow is a baitfish imitator and a 3” size makes it great for Ned-Rigging, but it can also be fished on a drop-shot rig. The plastic is a specially formulated floating plastic to give it a great action no matter how you decide to fish it.
The final new YUM Ned Rig bait is a craw called the Ned Craw. They designed it to give it a defensive posture when at rest on the back of your jighead.
YUM also has four new kit options that include jig heads and a selection of hooks. The kits include a mix of different plastics and are specialized to the point of fitting different water types to help anglers pick the perfect kit for their needs.
BANDIT B-ROTAN
This new Bandit crankbait was designed with a loud rattling noise thanks to four nickel steel balls. The sound and thumping are unlike other baits on the market. The bait is built around the Bandit Walleye Series and has the same shape, size, and profile of those lures. It will reach depths of eight-feet on a cast and roughly double that when trolled.
ARBOGAST JOINTED JITTERBUG 2.0
The Arbogast is another legendary brand under the Pradco umbrella. They are best-known for the classic Jitterbug topwater. They released version 2.0 in the past few years and that bait had a modern twist on the time-proven bait.
They now have a jointed version that gives it a different look and action while still generating explosive topwater strikes. They added a feathered rear treble, updated hook hangers and a host of new color options.
