JACKALL LURES
DISC KNOCKER LIPLESS
CRANKBAIT
Expanding its TN lipless crankbait line-up, Jackall Lures
offers the new TN/60 and TN/70 Disc Knocker
baits. Ideal for targeting pressured fish, these
new lures incorporate a disc-shaped weight
in their body chamber to create a unique,
deep sound to tempt fish. The bottom lip of
both versions have the same tungsten weight as
the original TN 60/70 lipless cranks, allowing them to
swim level at the slowest retrieves and also stand straight up
on the bottom when stopped.
PRICE: $14.99

EGRET BAITS
MAMBO MULLET
Z-MAN
POP SHADZ
Z-Man’s new Pop ShadZ™, is a versatile soft
plastic topwater bait unlike anything else we’ve
seen. Made from patented ElaZtech super-plastic
technology, the folks at Z-Man have created the
very first true soft plastic popper. Not only will
the Pop ShadZ cause a commotion on the surface
and float a heavy-gauge hook on the pause, but
it will also walk through grass, pads and other
cover without snagging, while offering a natural
texture and ultra-soft feel that will have all types
of fresh and saltwater gamefish coming back for
more. Best rigged with a wide-gap 5/0, or 6/0
hook, its belly slot and shallow dorsal pocket
makes weedless rigging and solid hooksets a
breeze. Available in 3- and 5-inch sizes, sold
three per pack in eight different colors.
Egret Baits just released their latest baitfish-
imitating creation, the Mambo Mullet. Like
their proven VuDu Shrimp and VuDu Mullet,
their new Mambo Mullet is made of a super-
durable thermoplastic elastomer, which
promises to survive far more toothy attacks
than traditional plastics. The features that
make the new Mambo Mullet so exciting
are the reverse “hydro cups” notched into
its flanks, which catch water and causes the
lure to undulate erratically when retrieved
through the water. This wobbly dance is
proving hard to ignore by predatory species,
as well as anglers looking to increase their
hook-up ratios. The Mambo Mullet is 3.5
inches long, weighs .25 ounces and comes
in ten tantalizing colors to perform in any
water condition.
PRICE: $7.99 (2 per pack)

TSUNAMI
K9 WALKER
This top water lure with its “walk
the dog” action is constructed
with true-to-life 3-D eyes to help
focus strikes. Tuned rattles alert
predators to the K9’s presence,
as it darts across the water’s
surface. Fast hooksets are assured
with extra sharp, tinned, Mustad
treble hooks. Strong stainless steel
split rings, along with superior
lure construction for maximum
strength, guarantees explosive
and successful topwater fishing.
