Mattlures Jitterfish

by Leave a Comment

Mattlures has introduced a new swimbait called the Mattlures Jitterfish. This bait looks awesome. This bait reminds me of the classic jointed jitterbug, but with a realistic fish appearance and with big fish catching size and weight. The bait comes in at 2.5 ounces, is 8 inches long, and comes in 4 different colors. I bet the Pike will eat this thing up like an appetizer.… ...Read More

by Leave a Comment

Jackall lures has introduced a new swimbait that again caught my eye  for a few reasons, it is called the Jackall swimming ninja G90. This bait is less than 4 inches long and weighs 3/4 oz.

The feature that I like best is that this lure has the ability to stand straight up on the… ...Read More

I read about spawning benches and contacted several people about the dimensions of the benches and learned that anywhere from twelve inches to eighteen inches worked well. I wanted it to be reasonably permanent and… ...Read More
