Everybody wondered just what the heck long-time Ozarks guide Bob Martin was throwing. No matter who fished those Truman tourneys of the 80s and 90s, they didn't stand a chance against Bob and his "secret bait." And he kept a tight lid on it, because he knew that if the secret ever got out, things would never be the same on his beloved Truman Lake. Today, we're proud to present Bob's original go-to-bait, updated with state-of-the-art technology. Its patent-pending chassis anchor the pull point/hooks and helps it run true on every cast. The balsa body is fitted with a precisely angled diving lip, which created a rolling, vibrating action that bass can't help but hammer. 3-D laser eyes, loud internal rattle, VMC premium hooks. Dives 5-6'; 3-1/4"; 1/2 oz.

Bass Pro Shops Rick Clunn's E.T.I. Orion Crankbait

The E.T.I. Advantage Fluid flow engineering studies reveal that the turbulence and pressure field created by the E.T.I. Orion presents a much more complete "signature" to a fish's highly sensitive lateral line receptors! Advanced crankbaits designed to stimulate a bass?s senses and direct its behavior. Precisely positioned rib openings create a distinct turbulence pattern that a bass?s lateral line picks up as a visual signature. With the target locked on, sight and sound are secondary -- and an all-out strike is imminent! Model 4 - 2"; 1/4 oz.; dives 4' Model 5 - 2.7"; 3/4 oz.; dives 5' Model 10 - 2.7"; 3/4 oz.; dives 10'

Bass Pro Shops Uncle Buck's Rattle Shad

High-action, high-sound -- the most versatile bait in your arsenal! When the fish are aggressive and chasing, throw 'em a Rattle Shad. When they're lethargic and uncooperative, throw 'em a Rattle Shad! This is the best pure triggering bait we know of, a high-action lipless crank with a super-tight wiggle, sexy 3-D eyes, and a terribly noisy internal rattle. Retrieve it fast or retrieve it slow, run it shallow or send it deep -- you'll find willing takers far more often than not. Great for bass, and a true secret weapon for walleye aficionados as well.

Along the beautiful length of the scenic Eau Claire River in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, many large bronzebacks can be found. Along with choosing the right location, it is important to use the right lure to catch fish worthy of bragging about. The sandy, partially stained water yields itself well to a brown-colored lure. Carolina-rigged softbaits can be especially deadly in the early summer. One excellent choice would be the Bass Pro Shops Tender Tubes. I've caught many smallmouth with the 3-1/2” size tubes of this make. Give it a try and good luck!
