Reviewed: Yakima Bait’s MagLip

by JD on June 14, 2010

Does it live up to the hype??

Yakima Bait Co’s MagLip has been selling like hotcakes in the Pacific Northwest lately, but is that just a case of everybody rushing out to buy the newest thing on the market or does this plug actually catch fish?

Recently, we spent a couple weeks thoroughly testing the MagLip to find out. Read on for the full review.

You know that old saying that “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it?” Well, I kinda figured that was going to be the case with Luhr Jensen’s new K15x Kwikfish. More to the point…if it’s not broken, don’t break it.

by JD on November 12, 2008

Okay, so big bass and stripers often get that way…big…by eating a ton of threadfin shad, right? So why not throw something at ‘em that imitates one of their favorite menu items? In a nutshell, that’s pretty much the idea behind SPRO’s new 4-inch BBZ-1 Shad.

Brad’s Lil Wiggler

by JD on September 8, 2008

I almost cried the day I heard that STORM Pee Wee Warts were going to be discontinued. Though small, those little babies packed a mean punch when it came to pulling plugs for steelhead. [click to continue…]
