3. LIVETARGET ICT SKIP SHAD
AND TWITCH MINNOW
ICT means Injected Core Technology, which is
the process used to combine a detailed bait-
fish-imitating soft-plastic core with a soft, yet
protective polymer shell for these realistic-look-
ing minnow baits that flutter and dance on the
fall. With either model, you can skip it, jerk it,
rig it weightless, or add it to drop-shots and
Carolina rigs.

4. STANLEY VIBRA WEDGE
EXTREME
The wire arm tapers from .041 to .018 inch. The
result is a blade setup that’s durable, but allows
for more vibration. A Code Red version features
a red head. It comes in 3/8 and 1/2 ounce.

5. PH CUSTOM LURES ROLLING P
6
Made in America from juletong wood, a soft-
wood that grows in southern Asia and is ideal
for carving, the Rolling P is a prop bait that cuts
the surface and simultaneously rolls when
twitched. PH designed it to cast easily and cre-
ate a loud commotion – perfect for windy,
choppy days.

fluorocarbon and ticks through cover easily.
The circuit board lip is made to take a beating.
