Big Show Kicker Tail WormBig Show Kicker Tail Worm

Toyota pro Terry Scroggins has long been nicknamed “Big Show” – a name given to him by a boat mechanic near his home waters of the St. Johns River, when Scroggins was winning darn near every derby held on the famous Northeast Florida waterway.

Just as fitting however, might be the nickname “Terry the Tinkerer.” The highly likeable pro can’t stand not using his mechanically talented mind and hands to improve an existing lure, or better yet, build an original of his own.

Scroggins’ fast growing in popularity “Kicker Tail” worm – created in a side room of his garage with the help of a mold maker from Michigan -- provides fascinating proof of Scroggins’ talents.

Pro Brandon LesterPro Brandon Lester

Just because Team Toyota’s Brandon Lester is only 31 years old, doesn’t mean he’s too inexperienced to remember lures that everybody cast not long ago to catch springtime bass -- which then seemed to fall out of fashion.

Fact is, Lester has competed in nearly 100 B.A.S.S. events, and already qualified for 5 Bassmaster Classics, including the 2020 Classic in Alabama where he had a very good chance to win going into the final day.

So we asked the country music loving father of two young daughters to choose a couple lures we all should consider digging out of our tackle collection to throw big bass a change-up as springtime bass fishing is in full effect.
