Anglers have always loved to modify their lures especially jerkbaits. Sometimes anglers have to for the jerkbait to run right, suspend level, or dive to a certain depth. That’s all history now with the Jackall Squirrel and Jackall Squadminnow. These lures don’t need any adjustments; you can just take them out of the package and catch fish with them. Why doesn’t Jackall Squirrel and Squadminnow jerkbaits need any adjustments? You can thank the Jackall Lures engineers in the research and development (R&D) division for that. They developed a vaulted design process in which three dimensional computer modeling combined with machines especially built to produce lures at precise tolerances to ensure uniformity.
Since making that first Rebel Lure in 1962 things have changed significantly. Rebel Lures started out making minnows out of “space age polymer” plastic when all the other lure companies were still building them from balsa wood or metal. It was George Perrin’s vision to build these technological advanced lures 50 years ago. Since then other lure companies have come and gone while Rebel Lures continued to design and build new lures like the Frog-R and Crappie Crank-R; in addition to keeping some of the old favorites and most popular lures like the Pop-R and Rebel Minnow.
Hello…is anyone home? That’s what it must sound like to a bass under the surface of the lake when a ima Roumba comes skirting across. Knock, Knock…is anyone home? That’s what it must sound and look like when the ima Roumba is being retrieved sub surface to a bass. Some bass is going to answer the call when you come a knocking with a ima Roumba and they are not going to be happy. They may even try to kill or eat your Roumba. It’s like they don’t like to be “Waked” up by something slowly moving across their domain.
I don’t know who came up with the name for the Jigwobbler by Wake Fishing LTD, but they hit the nail on the head. It’s a hybrid between two fish catching lures a crankbait and jig. It’s like nothing else you have ever seen with a wobbling action that gives it the appearance of really swimming, but sinks when paused resembles a dying baitfish.
It’s one of those why didn’t I think of that moments. Trolling crankbaits for slab crappie sure makes a lot of sense. Crappie like to school in open water or on offshore ledges at times and the only way to catch them is trolling. Sure during the spawn they migrate towards the bank, but often a cold front will push them back to deeper water quickly. Big Slab crappies have a ravishing appetite often eating big forage or following schools of shad to feast on. One lure that imitates this forage is crankbaits. A crankbaits like the new Rebel Crappie Crank-R was designed with input from renowned crappie tournament pro and crappie fishing guide Todd Huckabee specifically for catching those slab crappie.
I hear of anglers kissing their fish, but what about their lures. I guess someone down at Rebel Lures got the same idea with a lure, kissed it and ended up not with a prince, but a frog. That’s the only explanation I can come up with on how they ended up with the super realistic Rebel Frog-R. This isn’t your run of the mill hollow body frog either. It’s a hard body frog with the shape and color patterns that will fool any fish in to thinking it’s the real thing.
There is no other lake like it in the world. Kentucky Lake runs hard and fast from the Tennessee boarder to the Kentucky Dam. This hydroelectric dam on the Tennessee River is just one of nine dams on the river that’s owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA). It covers over 160,000 acres and has a canal that connects it to Lake Barkley on the Cumberland River. Both of these reservoirs have numerous ledges that hold large schools of bass and other game fish. Few lures can catch as many fish as a crankbait off these ledges, but how can you catch more fish on a crankbait on these ledges? Professional Bassmaster Elite Angler Ben Parker has been catching bass off these ledges with crankbaits for years and gives these three tips for cranking Kentucky Lake ledges.
I am a ima Big Stik. I am a high-tech fish killer that spits, pops, walks, sashays, and drives fish wild. I can pitch water three feet in front of me. I am a magnum popper that can catch anything that swims. I can be fished in fresh or saltwater. No fish is too big for me. I’m a ima Big Stik and love to go out fishing for big bass, monster stripers, giant musky, or anything that’s big enough to take me on!
Mama take this Jitterbug from me. I can’t cast it any more. It’s getting to dark, to dark for me to see. You cast it for me, so I can keep fishing. Hey, Hey, Hey…Knock, knock, knocking on Mr. Bass door. Yeah…oh yeah. A wooden Fred Arbogast Jitterbug brings back memories of times when I was much younger and had a full head of hair. Our family would travel for its summer vacation up to Lake Mille Lacs in Minnesota to relax and go fishing. Every morning my father and the other men who were up in the lodge would take off in a fleet of boats leaving their wives and kids behind. I always assumed that they were die hard anglers, but the truth be told, they were probably just seeking solitude of fishing quietly not caring if they caught any. That left me and my brothers along with one small row boat, a couple fishing poles, and a few lures with mom. Although my mom wasn’t overly excited about taking the row boat out with three rambunctious boys, she probably thought that if we all rowed enough it would tire us out. Little did she know that we had a never ending supply of adrenalin pumping though us. Her only chance of survival was having us cast out wooden Jitterbug and reel them in till our arms gave out.
Did I happen to mention that the Real Gill Xr50 Series of lures by XCalibur Lures looks really real? I mean real! Just like any common bluegill or panfish that is swimming in your local fishing hole. Think about it for a minute. Bass and other predators love to eat what? That’s right, forage that swims by and gets to close. Bass love cover like boat docks and brush piles. Bluegill and panfish hide around docks and brush piles. It’s better than takeout. “Honey, should we go out to eat?” says one bass to another hiding under the shade of a boat dock. “Why, we have all we can eat right here at home; I think, I will have me a Longear with a Pumpkinseed for dessert,” replies the other bass. You get the point and now you have a lure that really looks like what they eat.
