Clive Mathias — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:34:40 +0000

The good folks at Killerbug’s Esox Shop in Denmark are now offering the 2011 lineup of Rockstar Lures! I’m sure we’ll be seeing some big Rockstar pike from that part of the world very soon!

The Rodent: First Impressions

Clive Mathias — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 23:46:17 +0000

It isn’t very often that I come across a lure that looks so good I don’t even want to use it. The Rodent, by Bettencourt Baits is one such lure. Fishing lures simply do not get much more realistic then this. As soon as I took the 5 inch, 7/8 ounce Rodent out of the package, the high level of quality was apparent. The Rodent was clearly built by very skilled artisan.

I’ll be putting this beautiful lure to the test fishing for hungry spring pike in May. Stay tuned to find out how The Rodent stands up to the fierce jaws and sharp teeth of one of the most fearsome predators in freshwater!

For more information about the The Rodent, visit Bettencourt Baits.

If you ask me, these way cooler then the bottlecap lure! Great way to re-use old metal!

“Handmade individually. They are formed in a hydraulic press, cut away from excess material, drilled, sanded, patina’d, sealed with a spray sealant, and then riveted together.”

New Storm Lures Kickin’ Stick

Jonathon Marshall — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:05:44 +0000

The new Storm Kickin’ Stick is yet another fine example of a hardbody swimbait. The Kickin’ Stick comes in 9 colours and three sizes (5″, 6″ and 8″) all fitted with rattles, slow-sinking buoyancy, and quality VMC hooks. Guaranteed to perform for all applications and will only set you a back about 10-13 bucks each.

Check out this video of Dave Mercer catching a musky on his very first cast! Unfortunately the video is not available to embed, though I could probably copy the html code and embed it here anyway. Instead I’ll send Dave an email and hope that in the future we can post his videos here directly.

New 2010 Salmo Colours!

Jonathon Marshall — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:43:27 +0000

These lures are difficult to find in North America, but our European members will probably recognize these Salmo lures immediately. Salmo has released several new colour patterns for many of their lures, however the Salmo Slider is one of my favorites and is now available in some truly amazing colours. I especially like the clown colours, definitely need a few of those!

New 2010 Zoom Swimmin’ Fluke Spied!

Jonathon Marshall — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:55:43 +0000

I’ve you’ve never rigged up a Zoom Super Fluke you have no idea what you’re missing. These plastic baits are perfect for weightless texas rigged applications. Well this year you can enjoy the new Zoom Swimmin’ Super Fluke! It’s the same size as the regular Super Fluke, but now with a swimming/paddle tail for extra vibrations. This deadly lure just got better!

Check out Zoom’s new product brochure for more great additions coming out this year!

Pass the Dutchie Baits

I stumbled across these videos on youtube while searching for something other than videos about lures to break up today’s posts. While this is a lure post, it has some mystery behind it. “Dutchbaits” are handmade wooden lures with some pretty awesome paint jobs, the music and camera work are great too. And that’s all I know! I’ve contacted the original poster on youtube for some background information.

NEW SPRO BBZ1 “Junior” 6-inch Swimbait

Jonathon Marshall — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:56:38 +0000

2010 may go down as the year of the swimbait. Several manufacturers have lined up their best engineers and designed some of the most beautiful lures I’ve ever seen, and many have started scaling them down to the key 4″-6″ range as well. One such lure that I’m looking forward to trying this season is the SPRO BBZ1 Jr. a 6″ version of the SPRO BBZ1.

Name That Lure!

Jonathon Marshall — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:04:41 +0000

With the success of the Name That Fish! series of posts I thought perhaps our readers would also appreciate a spin on the series with a Name That Lure! series.

This wooden topwater lure is about 4.5 inches long, features a spinning prop on both ends, and #6 hooks. It’s also one of my favorite topwater lures for bass, pike, and musky.

UPDATE: It’s a Smithwick Devil’s Horse!

If you have any rare fish or favorite lures that you’d like to submit for either Name That Fish! or Name That Lure! please feel free to email us your submissions, we’d love to hear what about what you’ve found.
