GANTIA JOINTED SWIMBAITS Even anglers have to do a double take at the realistic finish of Jackall Lure’s new Gantia swimbaits. A triple-jointed, four-segment, hard swimbait with a semi-hard tail, the 7-inch Gantia lures entice big fish through not only the eight available colors, but also a unique design and swimming action. Hitch The Gantia is equally effective when fished at high speed or slow speed retrieves, and when twitched, it turns just like a frightened bait fish. It can also be fished “suspended” by adding weight to an extra eyelet. Color finishes offered for the new Gantia swimbaits include RT Ghost Scale Wakasagi, RT Largemouth Bass, RT Sexy Pearl Ayu, Drizzle Blue Natural, Trout, Scale Gill, Gizzard Shad and Hitch. RT Ghost Scale Minnow PRICE: $37.99 jackall-lures.com RT Largemouth Bass POWERPRO MAXCUATRO Losing lures gets expensive, which is one of the reasons to get the best line you can. PowerPro Maxcuatro is braided exclusively with Spectra HT (High-Tenacity) fiber from Honeywell that is up to 25-percent thinner than equivalent test pound braid. Spectra HT fiber allows for 4 carrier construction, contributing to less friction when it goes through guides. Anglers will notice the extra casting distance when using smaller, lighter lures, or when pitching jigs at docks and brush piles. As with other PowerPro braided fishing lines, Maxcuatro is up to eight-times more sensitive and has minimal stretch when compared to nylon and fluorocarbon fishing lines. Anglers feel even the lightest strikes, allowing them to make quick and solid hook ups, and therefore, catch more fish. PowerPro: the smart stocking stuffer!

But they have not rested on their past laurels and have continuously upgraded their product line over the past two decades, making it thinner, stronger, smoother, slicker, rounder, etc. Now the Spiderwire engineers have made their proven Dyneema-based superbraid less visible in the water with a pink camo coloration. Spiderwire Stealth Braid is constructed to provide strength, sensitivity and long casting performance. New to the Stealth portfolio is our Pink Camo, which is uniquely colored for high visibility in all water conditions. The no-stretch properties of SpiderWire’s PE fibers provide incredible sensitivity to instantly detect bites and underwater structure.
