Kingdom Baits - 5" Fluke Lure (More Colors)
The fluke is a great bait for triggering a reaction bite. Its sudden, erratic movement can entice strikes when fish are finicky. Its ability to pause on the bottom allows it to stay in the strike zone longer, increasing your chances of getting bit. Rig the fluke with a weighted jig head or a weighted weedless hook. The fluke has long been known for its deadly weightless presentation on grass beds in the spring, especially for big bass during the spawn. But this bait is also just as effective in saltwater when rigged weightless. Some hooks we recommend include a jig head or a 3/0 hook with a 1/16 to 1/8 oz weight. You can also use the Owner 5/0 “rigging hook,” run through the head of the bait from the bottom and out the top.

Kingdom Baits - 5.5" El Camaron Lure (More Color Options)
This bait is exclusive to Kingdom Baits. It’s our take on a longer-profile shrimp pattern that can twitch, jerk, and dart like a baitfish, but in the same cast can also glide in like a larger shrimp, appearing as an easy, vulnerable snack. This bait glides more realistically than any other shrimp bait on the market. It’s very versatile and effective with just about any rigging method. You can rig this bait on a weighted jig head or weighted weedless hook, but it also excels with a weightless presentation in the upper water column or in shallow water. Some hooks we recommend are a jig head or a 3/0 hook with a 1/16 to 1/8 oz weight. For weedless or weightless setups, the preferred EWG hooks are the Owner Beast 4/0 or Trokar 5/0.

Marker 54 - Jerk Shrimp (More Colors)
Backward Motion - Soft Plastic Constant action but slow retrieve Our patented Jerk Shrimp is engineered to rise vertically even at distance. The lure stays in a pothole longer, it can hover above an oyster bed, and you can "jig" the clean water window above the grass. The backward action mimics the natural motion of a fleeing shrimp. The Jerk Shrimp is in constant motion but stays in sight of the fish longer. Your cast takes 5x longer than normal which gives the fish more time to strike. Use alone or with a cup-face popper. To retrieve: Quickly pop 3 times, let sink, repeat. Great for Redfish, Flounder, Trout, and Snook.

Nomad Tackle- Vertrex Max Inshore Lure
The VERTREX MAX soft vibe is all about maximum vibration and maximum depth. It has a lifelike action that sinks level and straight, getting down to the fish faster. The deep body profile combined with finely tuned internal weights delivers a soft vibration bait with a huge vibration at super slow speed and even more vibration at higher speeds. The amount of vibration you can achieve at slow speeds just gently hopping this lure on or near the bottom is what sets the Vertrex Max apart from all other soft vibration baits. The deeper body with a wide belly design ensures that even at slow speeds the Vertrex Max is vibrating and attracting attention. The Vertrex features a full wire internal construction for extra strength and is fitted with the ultimate BKK hooks so you can fish it straight out of the box. Perfect for offshore species like Striped Bass, Yellowtail, Kingfish, Mutton Snapper, Grouper, Red Snapper, Tuna and many more, it is suited to be fished at depths from 40ft-200ft of water. The Vertrex Max can be fished in a similar way to a slow pitch jig. The best technique is to drop them to the bottom and then use 3-10 slow lifts with a short pause off the bottom to get it vibrating on the lift and then as it glides back down on the drop it will often get hit. They can be worked fast or slow, but the Vertrex Max is has huge vibration at slow speeds making it highly effective for this technique. The Nomad Slow Pitch Jig Rods are designed specifically to work vibes and they feature a slightly slower taper rod and a tip with more backbone to impart more action to the vibe. Traditional soft tipped slow pitch jig rods are not ideal for working vibes. Every Nomad Design lure has been crafted by decades of experience on the water to be tougher, last longer and to catch more fish.
