1. nutech LUres eLIte spInJIg
The modular design pairs NuTech’s dual-weed-
guard grass jig with a detachable wire arm and
one or two spinner blades. Either blade can be
changed on the tandem model. The combina-
tion of parallel arms and an articulated head
offers several advantages: It never needs tun-
ing, runs true even with a bent wire, vibrates at
slower speeds than normal spinnerbaits and
provides a ton of feedback up the line. It’s avail-
able in 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ounce.
$9.99 for a single blade; $10.99 for tandem |

2. BagLeY pro sUnnY B
tWIn spIn
At 3 inches long, the Pro sunny B Twin spin is
that perfect “bass candy” size that shallow bass
will clobber when they’re prowling for bedding
bream or holed up around wood or grass. Big
front and rear props churn the surface when
twitched or fished on a straight retrieve.

3. BagLeY fLat BaLsa B
The Flat Balsa B is similar in size to the Balsa B2,
only flatter, subtler and better suited for cooler
water. It was designed to climb through limbs
and to be fished with a variety of retrieves.

sWImBaIt
This line-thru-style swimbait that’s based on
scottsboro’s popular standard model is likely to
be a shallow-water big-fish hammer. FLW Tour
pro Alex Davis helped with the prototyping
process to make sure it has the right body roll
and tail kick. It comes in 5- and 6-inch versions.

5. moLIX sUpernato frog
Flanged 2-inch-long legs connect to the 2 1/2-
inch supernato floating frog body by a spring-
like screw, while two short wires keep every-
thing aligned. A straight retrieve sets the legs in
motion.

6. V&m VertIcaL shad
On a Damiki rig or a drop-shot, the 3-inch
Vertical shad is a great finesse option for – you
guessed it – vertical presentations. Its split tail
is horizontal to help it dart, glide or flutter,
while pectoral fins add a touch of realism.
