Watch out Kermit, Mad Maxx is Here!!!

Flipping though my latest Bass Pro Shops catalog, I noticed this brand new frog from Tru-Tungsten & Fish Harder Companies!

Tru-Tungsten Mad Maxx Frogs are Super-premium frogs that take temptation to the highest level with 3D eyes and a keel design for easy ''walk the dog'' action. Features tungsten rattles for extra attracting power, a pro drain to keep water out, and a super-sharp double frog hook.
I cannot wait to get my hands on them! They look like thew will be awesome, like all the other Tru-Tungsten products! Right now they are a BassPro exclusive.

BTD Summer Slam Event!

Bass Tackle Depot is running a pretty cool special; you can get 15% off of all crankbaits and topwaters! This special runs through Sunday at Midnight.

I pretty tempted to order some new Lucky Craft Kelly J's or stock up on some Ima hardbaits.

Either way, its pretty hard to find deals on good high quality hard baits that BTD carries. Not too mention its free shipping on orders over $50, plus no sales tax!

When is the last time you did not spend $50 in a sporting goods store?

Youvella Pro Flip & Little Flip Hooks Available

Many of the top Fisher Harder Pros have been using these Youvella hooks for quite some time. They were available at the Bassmasters Classic & quickly sold out. Shortly after the classic the OWG (Offset Wide Gap) hooks were available in many online shops like Basspro.com and others. I have been using the Youvella OWG's quite a bit, sticking and landing a very high percantage of bites, I have nothing but good things to say so far.

I was surfing around today and finally found the Pro Flip & Little Flip hooks in stock, which just in time for summer fishing around here when flipping really starts to play a factor.

So get them while you can, I expect them to sell out quickly!

Check out the New Sexy Sunfish

As soon as I saw this color of Strike King Red Eye Shad, I started making my order at Bass Tackle Depot to get up to $50 for free shipping, luckily I did not order right away, as everything is 15% off this weekend, thru Monday!!!

I know this color will pull up plenty of bass from the waters I fish in MN and will work in any water that has a good blue gill population.

Couple of Swimbaits hitting the shelves

There has been much talke about the Jackall Swimming Ninja & 4" Tru-Life swimbaits, both seem to be in stock at several stores.

Kota Kiriyama used the Jackall Swimming Ninja to sack a 35 pound bag during the BASS Elite Series on Lake Amistad and ultimately ran out of the baits as the fish destroyed what he had but he still managed a 12th place finish. The natural swimming motion of the bait coupled with a dead stick fall in front of followers was the key to enticing the big fish into committing. The Jackall Swimming Ninja is tested and proven to put big fish in the boat!

The 4 inch TRU-LIFE SWIMBAITS are a collaborative design created by Tru-Tungsten and swimbait kings Ish Monroe and Matt Newman. The 4 inch Swimbait comes in two versions. A wake bait that takes 2 balls to become a slow fall bait and a slow fall bait that will take 2 balls to become a fast fall bait to get to those deeper fish. Tru Tungsten Tru-Life Swimbaits have a 4 segment jointed body that creates an incredible life like swimming motion. This matched with Life-like a finish including scales, eyes make this an irresistible bait for lurking bass..

Both of these hot baits are in stock at Bass Tackle Depot.

2009 Red River Bassmaster Classic Winning Lures & Gear

So here is a brief summary of the baits and gear used by Skeet Reese to win 2009 Bassmasters Classic!
Skeet used two main baits, the new Crazy Legs Chigger craw and the Lucky Craft Redemption Spinnerbait. These baits seem very fitting, since a chigger craw was Skeet's demise when Boyd Duckett used it to knock him to second on Lay Lake and Skeet designed the Redemption Spinnerbait for Lucky Craft and that is exactly what he got, REDEMPTION!!!

Winning Gear Notes
> Spinnberbait gear: 7' extra-fast Lamiglas XR 704 rod, Abu Garcia Revo Winch (5.4:1), 50-pound Spiderwire Ultracast braided line, 3/8-ounce Lucky Craft Redemption Spinnerbait (MS American shad head, nickel combination blades, customized translucent skirt).

> He said he fished spinnerbait on the Revo Winch because it's a strong, slower-geared reel. And he fished it on the braid because it cut through the pad stems better than mono or fluorocarbon.

> Flipping gear: Lamiglas XFT 806 flipping stick, Abu Garcia Skeet Series Revo casting reel, 25-pound Berkley Trilene 100% fluorocarbon, 3/16- and 1/4- ounce unnamed sinkers (1/4-ounce in wind), 3/0 unnamed hook, Berkley PowerBait Crazy Leg Chigger craw (black/blue-fleck)

Simply Catches Bass

The next lure I am going to Blog about is a very simple & ordinary looking lure, but here is the deal, it flat catches bass. I have been using this to catch bass for years. It is the Lake Fork Ring Fry.

Like I said, it does not look like much, but then again neither do Senkos or Trick worms and we know they catch the heck out of bass as well. Here is how I use it to catch bass:

In water less then 4ft, I fish it weightless like many people fish senkos around docks, wood and scattered grass. The way I catch most of my fish, is to fish it on a Carolina or Mojo rig. The Carolina Rig is the choice for deeper water and scattered cover. I use the mojo rig in water 5-20ft where around just about any cover from thick weeds to gravel & rocks, its flat deadly!

Give the Ring Fry a chance, you will not be disappointed. Off all the anglers I have introduced this bait to, I don't any have ever complained.
