New Terminator Popping Frog
The new Terminator® Popping Frog pops and spits, and walks, something you don’t find in many other soft-bodied frogs.
When the conditions call for frog fishing, Bassmaster Pro Ott DeFoe says he will tie on a Popping Frog about 80 percent of the time.
“In most cases, especially around scattered grass — stuff with a lot of holes in it — I’m going with that one,” he says. “I like the added action and sound it offers.” When bass are holding under really thick mats of vegetation, however, he’ll turn to the Terminator Walking Frog, which he helped design as well.

Rapala Shad Dancer
The new Rapala Shad Dancer is drawing rave reviews from TV Show Host Al Lindner, who compares it to Shad Rap and Original Floating Minnow.
“It has a touch of magic that is immediately apparent,” says Lindner, legendary angler and host of the influential television shows “Angling Edge” and “Fishing Edge.” “It’s that good. You see a lot of baits come on the scene, and many of them are okay fish catchers, but this one has got the makings to be the best yet.”

Catch a Mess of Catfish with Bullet Weights’ New Cat Packs
There's more than one way to catch a catfish, so Bullet Weights has produced three new Cat Pack lead sinker assortments: No Roll, Egg and Bank. They are now widely available at fishing tackle and online retailers.
Ideal for river fishing, the No Roll is a slip-style sinker with flat sides to keep it from rolling across the bottom. It has a teardrop shape and a low profile that holds bait in place when other types of sinkers would get caught in the current. The No Roll Cat Pack includes two each of 1-ounce, 2-ounce, 3-ounce and 4-ounce sinkers.

Zoom Introduces 5-inch Boot Tail Fluke
Zoom Bait Company announces the release of the new 5-inch Boot Tail Fluke, a solid-bodied swimbait which combines the best attributes of two of Zoom's all-time Classics - the lifelike body of the legendary Fluke with the hard shaking tail of the more recently-introduced hollow Zoom Swimmer.
This latest addition to Zoom's collection fills an important niche, combining the durability and heft of a solid body with the nimble action of the Fluke and the body roll provided by the boot tail. It moves water at any speed, and can be fished throughout the water column. It can be applied to a wide variety of techniques, too.
While the Boot Tail Fluke is exceptional on a weighted swimbait hook or a jighead, it's also deadly on the back of a vibrating jig or swim jig, as well as a castable umbrella rig. When fish demand more water displacement than the Fluke can provide, or they have grown accustom to a hollow-belly profile, this offering is sure to load your livewell.
The 5-inch Boot Tail Fluke will initially be available in five colors to meet a wide variety of water colors and forage bases. Each one comes out of its clamshell package perfectly straight and intact.
Initial colors include 134-091 Albino, 134-350 Electric Shad, 134-357 Tennessee Shad, 134-408 Sight Flash, and 134-409 G's Magic.
The Boot Tail Fluke is currently available at leading tackle stores and online retailers.
