Yo-zuri Top Knock Pencil
"Yo zuri- top knock pencil, this is a great bait for all low light scenarios, early morning, late in the day, or even overcast, this bait mimics all sorts of baitfish which is what makes it such a great versatile bait. Regardless of the species redfish, trout,snook, tarpon and everything in between this bait has you covered!"
Gulp 3" Shrimp
"Gulp has become to be a go to for fisherman all over the world, with hundreds of different colors and several rigging options from a jighead, weedless hooks, or even thrown on a circle hook and dead sticked on the bottom there is no situation this bait doesn’t produce. I rely on this bait more than any, there isn’t a wrong way to work it or a color that doesn’t produce, the three inch shrimp always triggers a bite and with the scent of gulp fish find it irresistible and don’t want to let it go!"
NLBN Mini Mullet
"The NLBN mini mullet has really become one of my go to snook and tarpon baits, when hooked on a weedless hook without weight the action this bait has looks so much like a dying baitfish it’s incredible, not only does it look incredible it gets bit! Snook and tarpon rarely turn this bait down, and there has been numerous situations where it has actually out fished live bait, not only does it look realistic but you can also cover alot more ground than just tossing out a live mullet, the combination of a realistic look and working lots of territory are the recipe for an epic day"
