New Jackall Rhythm Wave Swimbait

Rhythm Wave Soft Swimbait -

           

Kicking in ‘rhythm’ with a bite-producing wobbling action when retrieved at any speed, Jackall Lures introduces the new soft plastic Rhythm Wave soft swimbaits. Offered in both 3.8- and 4.8-inch lengths, anglers can fish the Rhythm Wave rigged weightless, with a swim jig, with a weighted hooked or Texas-rigged. The thickness of its shad-like tail provides a steady rhythm action, while a top-hooking slit ensures a hidden hook for weedless applications.

Both sizes of these new Jackall soft swimbaits are offered in six colors including Bluegill/pearl White, Golden Shad, green pumpkin pepper, Holo Black, Prism Shad and Sexy Albino.

Available for the first time at the 2016 Bassmaster Classic Outdoor Expo, starting Friday, March 4 at the Cox Business Center in Tulsa, Okla., the lures will also be available that day at selected tackle retailers nationwide and in Canada.  MSRP: $4.99 – 5 Pack  (USD)

SHIMANO EXPANDS ZODIAS BASS ROD SERIES

THREE NEW MODELS FOR 2016

Offered in technique specific designs, Shimano adds three rods to its 14-model Zodias bass rod line-up with the new ZDS170M-G, 176MH-G and the 175H.

While the current Zodias series provide anglers with rods designed to perform as needed with all types of lures – be it worms, jigs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits and jerkbaits, the new Zodias rods are constructed for specific lure and situation use. The 7-foot ZDS170M-G and 7-foot-6 inch ZDS176M-G crankbaits rods have longer reargrips for long-casting leverage, and include glass composite material within their Hi Power X blank for the softer action needed. The heavy power, 7-foot-5-inch ZDS175H is ideal for braided line applications, especially when making long casts into grass. A long reargrip provides added casting distance leverage.

New Jackall Gantarel Jr!

Gantarel Jr.  Slow-Sinking Swimbaits –

Packing the same lifelike action as its larger original, Jackall Lures now offers its new Gantarel Jr. swimbait. With a 5-inch double-jointed body, a steady retrieve creates a natural ‘S’ swimming pattern, plus the lure will make a 180-degree turns when twitched to further entice a big bass to bite. To add even more realism to the Gantarel Jr. swimbaits, they are equipped with feathered treble hooks. 

     Offered in eight life-like colors – RT Bluegill, Scale Bass, Sale Sparkle Gill, Black Impact Gill, Gizzard Shad, Scale Gill, RT Ghost Gill and RT Spawn Gill, the pectoral fins on the Gantarel Jr. enhance stability, and are angled slightly to t allow the swimbait to dive down to 2-feet.

The 1.5-ounce Gantarel Jr. swimbaits feature a bearing swivel eye to eliminate any line twist. The lures offer a bottom eye so anglers can add weight to make the lures slowly sink even more, plus there’s a tail tip eye to add a stinger hook.

New Shimano Caenam 150 Casting Reel

Amazing Reel for an Great Price

For anglers looking for their first baitcasting reel, or experienced anglers who understand the word ‘value’, Shimano offers its new Caenan 150 casting reels. Three models are available – the Caenan 150, left-hand retrieve 151 and higher-gear 150HG.

            In many fishing situations, baitcasting reels “can deliver more accurate lure placement, and enable you to make quicker casts so your lure spends more time in the water,” said noted pro bass angler Jonathon VanDam. “The new Caenan reels are the perfect choice for the growing numbers of high school and college kids who are enjoying competitive fishing. I understand their passion for this sport – that fire they feel in their bellies. The new Caenan reels deliver amazing performance and value.”

Loaded with proven features, the Caenan reels deliver exceptional strength and rigidity with Shimano’s redesigned High Efficiency Gearing (HEG). Anglers can easily adjust spool speed – and dial the reel in to reduce backlashes, with Shimano’s upgraded Variable Brake System (VBS). Combine that with Stabile Spool Design (S3D) for less spool vibration and anglers can expect long-casting performance.
