Zoom Creates Midsize Brush Hog
Zoom Bait Company’s Brush Hog, one of the most popular creature baits on the planet, have traditionally come in Tiny, Baby, and Standard sizes. For some situations, however, the Baby is a bit small and the Standard is just a bit too large. For that reason, Zoom is releasing a new Mid-Size Brush Hog to split the difference.
The Baby Brush hog is really good, but in certain situations, you need it a bit bigger,” says Zoom Pro Andy Morgan. “This new size will really fit the bill as an ‘all-around’ version that I will always carry with me.”
It’ll have the same proportions and action as both its little brother and big brother, just in an in-between size that’ll attract both numbers of tournament-sized fish and the kicker you need to seal the deal. Don’t just flip it – it excels on a magnum shaky head, on the back of a jig, and on offshore structure as well, and it will come in eight of Zoom’s proven colors.

Minn Kota Report
Minn Kota Offers New Hydraulic Shallow Water Anchor
Minn Kota announces the upcoming release of the Raptor shallow water anchor. With a host of new innovations and unmatched anchoring and durability, the Raptor is engineered to stand up to the harshest conditions, giving anglers the ability to confidently hold their boat securely in place in more fishing situations than ever before.
Hydraulic anchoring systems currently on the market have lacked the ability to adapt to changing conditions on the water. Once anchored, waves, current, tide changes and different bottom compositions can negatively affect the anchors’ ability to hold a boat in place. Raptor is the only shallow water anchor to feature “Active Anchoring” and “Auto-Bottom Mode”, which enable these shallow-water anchors to automatically monitor the water and bottom conditions to keep the boat anchored firmly in place no matter what the fishing situation.
