New lure to try

[Reporter]

This is what I use for whitebass. It works. Just add a hook to the end and voila!

It's heavy for far-reaching fish!

Megabass Baby Pop X BFS Popper



probably the most expensive lure I would buy.  So just two different ones to try out on order.  Specs are 2" and 3/16th oz. weight. 

It would be just a tad bit smaller than the Owner Gobo Popper and a tad bit bigger than the Eurotackle Z-Popper.  It's gonna be a long wait until spring to try this lure out and still waiting for delivery of it.

Eurotackle Spade Blade Spin

The Eurotackle Spade Blade Spin is the hottest ice fishing lure of the season. This lure offers an easy and effective way to catch fish through the ice. Its spade shape and quick-spinning blade make it perfect for targeting different species of fish in low-light conditions. The blade also produces a unique vibration that attracts fish from all directions. Plus, the blade is designed to stay beneath the ice, making it easier to keep your line in the strike zone. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, the Eurotackle Spade Blade Spin is sure to help you catch more fish this season.

Shimano BT Spin Bait

The Shimano BT Spin Bait is an ultra compact and super versatile tailspin bait that is perfect for mimicking small forage. Molded with a small shad profile body shape and a unique lightweight blade design, the BT Spin Bait produces enticing flash and flutter on the retrieve and the fall to lure fish into biting. It also gives anglers the ability to fish it with a horizontal retrieve in open water or use a lift-and-fall technique for vertical jigging. The perfectly shaped underside enables it to sit stationary when it hits the bottom to mimic a frightened baitfish as well. Covered in Shimano’s Scale Boost technology to add another layer or realism, the Shimano BT Spin Bait can cover the entire water column with outstanding efficiency.

The new Clam Psycho Shad ice fishing lure is an imitation of Salmo Chubby Darter.

I remember all the media hype with the Chubby Darter and yeah a lot of people were disappointed with their results.  I was not, as I was quite successful with the Chubby Darter, but have moved on to always the new lures.  It always ready in the tackle box.

Clam also introduce their Tikka Flash lure last year.  Which is sort of an imitation of the JB Spanker lure but only difference is having an attractor blade attached.  It really looks like a failed imitation of a tail spinner, minus the swivel.  They should've double ring attached so the blade would plane out level, better for presentation and fluttering effect.  It was supposed to be the hyped up hot product last year, but that was all marketing hyped.

Eurotackle tail spinner lure: I-Shimmer 3/32oz $5.99

Kind of interesting.  I might buy into in the future, but not sure as of yet.

However I've got my stash of other tail spinners.

Kenders T-Rip



I wasn't keeping it a secret.  I just forgot to share it back when I was trying it out a few years ago.  Maybe I did but forgot about it.

Well a few years ago, there was sort of a hype around the Z-Viber and Kenders K-Rip mini vibe baits.  Yeah I tried them and my luck has it as mostly hype.

Well the T-Rip is a slim minnow profile.  No one talks about it, except me of course.  Comes in two sizes
1/2" - #16 Treble Hook (Approx 1/32 oz)
3/4" - #14 Treble Hook (Approx 3/32 oz)

The T-Rip baits just seems to get bitten like way more than I expected.  Personally I swapped out the treble hooks for the single hook.  Thought that I might not hook up as much, but it's been nearly 100% hook up.

Kenders has now made an XL version.
1-7/8" Length and 1/4 oz. in weight

Didn't buy the XL size as there are a lot of other lures in about that size range already.

Eurotackle Spade Blade Spin

Well they just reinvented the wheel...

So in stead of the original two sizes: Micro and Standard.  They now have a new Micro size, old Micro size and Standard.

It's been relisted as Micro, 1/16, and 1/4 sizes.

It's too bad the marketing on this lure is terrible.  As there isn't really anything that makes it hot per say, except to catch fishermen first.  It is unique in a jingle different way, but as far as lure performance, it's kind of dull.  Well anyway the new micro size is listed with a 1/20th oz. weight from a third party.  Really not much different from 1/16 to 1/20 as far as weight.  Since the home website is also terrible for updating and listing actual good information, there isn't a size listed at all nor is there an actual weight listed on the new Micro version. 

Apparently not a hot lure...

They show trout catch. But I think this lure is also good for white basses and giant crappies.
