Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap
Boyd Duckett wasn’t under a sponsorship contract to fish the Rat-L-Trap at the 2007 Bassmaster Classic. Lucky for him, he fished “the Trap” anyway. Now you can find your own success with the bait. The Rat-L-Trap’s genius is in the Liv-N-Sound technology that transmits the sound of baitfish fleeing through the water, which is sure to get the attention of every big fish in the area. The Rat-L-Trap is so effective that the company has created different styles of the crankbait, including the ProTrap, Floating Trap and the Vibra-Trap. Recently, the Freshwater Tackle Shop acquired a ton of these bass-catching miracle baits in various weights and sizes. www.freshwatertackleshop.com
Vertical Lures Jig X
The Jig X is touted as the most weedless and structure-free jig design on the market. This was achieved by placing the eye of the hook in an undercut at the back of the jighead. The positioning is critical to placing the knot where it is naturally protected by the belly of the jig itself. The line runs through a Teflon-protected tunnel down the center of the jighead, allowing both the knot and the knot tag to be completely protected and free from contact regardless of the type of cover being fished. The Jig X is also available in the popular “football style” and with five weight options and five colors to choose from. The ¼-ounce Jig X is a must have for your crappie-fishing arsenal. Visit the company’s website for a live demo. www.verticallures.com
