Scum Frog Launch Frog XS
The new Scum Frog Launch Frog XS offers bass a smaller profile but has the same long distance casting ability as its bigger brother.
The original Launch Frog gained popularity quickly because of how far it would cast. This is a smaller version of that.
The key to the Launch Frog XS’ performance is the unique tungsten “parasite” weight system which adds weight without the bulk to the hook shank. This allows the soft-bodied Launch Frog XS to achieve long casting distances with a smaller body size. Premium frog hooks and its high compression body delivers the highest hook-up rate possible in a hollow body frog.

Northland Tackle Weedless Wacky Jig
Northland Tackle has announced its new Weedless Wacky Jig with its sleek, built-in weighted jig-head to get your bait to where the fish are.
Covering multiple depths and conditions, the new Northland Weedless Wacky Jig comes in 1/16-, 1/8-, and 3/16-ounce options, all featuring a #2 sticky-sharp, premium Gamakatsu hook.
Northland designed the Elite Series Weedless Wacky Jig with two easily-bendable (but almost unbreakable) titanium wire weed guards for penetrating cover.
And when it comes to keeping bass pinned, Northland’s Weedless Wacky Jig design features a wide hook gap and straight eye shank to ensure you can winch bruisers out of the salad and into the boat for a quick photo and release.
In terms of colors, the Weedless Wacky Jig comes in black and green pumpkin.
It’s sold two per card with an suggested retail of $4.99.
