2016 Best New Rods: The New G. Loomis E6X Series of Rods with Jonathon Van Dam and IBASSIN

The new E6X rod series introduces anglers to what G. Loomis rod designers refer to a ‘swing-weight’, the proper rod balance needed when fishing ‘tip up’ techniques like pitching/flipping and casting tubes, jigs, soft plastic jerkbaits and drop shot rigs, and ‘tip down’ lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits or swimbaits. “Proper balance lets anglers concentrate on what is happening on the end of the line, rather than the tip of the rod,” said G. Loomis’ Bruce Holt. “With the E6X series and the G. Loomis’ Multi-Taper Technology behind them, we can provide light, sensitive, yet powerful rods for all types of bass fishing techniques – what anglers know and come to expect form G. Loomis and all at a very comfortable price.”

Happy Halloween from IBASSIN

Jackall's Aska crankbait

Shallow crankbaits have been phenomenal at winning tournaments. The last few years we have seen countless anglers bragging about the merits of shallow divers. Two versions have been particularly productive; Squarebills and Circuit Board lipped.  These cranks provide amazing result when worked through shallow cover. 

 

Jackall's new Aska provides the incredible wobble of a squarebill with the vibration of a Circuit Board lip. If you are looking for crankbait with great deflection abilities, high quality finished plus the added bonus of a custom Circuit Board lip, give a very close look at the Jackall Aska.
