Rage Swimmer from Strike King Lures
If you’re looking for a swimbait that has all the qualities you need for fooling Michiana bass, the Strike King Rage Swimmer could be the answer.
“We’ve known for some time that the Rage Tail properties would translate wonderfully into a swimbait,” says Steve Parks, the designer and originator of the Rage Tail line. “With that design, we can create an unmatched swimming action in a soft plastic bait. Every single aspect of this bait achieves the exact swimming action that our pros wanted - the reverse ribs on the body, consistency of the plastic and unequaled action of the Rage tail on the bait.”
The Rage Tail Swimmer is offered in both 3 ¾” and 4 ¾” versions. Both are available in 10 swimbait-specific colors. It is or will soon be in stock at better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.

Flambeau Outdoors Expands Anti-Rust Gear Storage
Rusty tackle stinks. Flambeau Outdoors, maker of the only tackle boxes with anti-corrosive Zerust extruded directly into the internal dividers, is expanding its line with Waterproof Satchels, HD Tuff Boxes and HD Cases to keep tackle, tools, gadgets and marine electronics safe and rust free.
Other cases are notorious for trapping moisture and causing corrosion when used for off-season storage, especially in humid climates. The additional protection of Zerust separates Flambeau cases and boxes from all others at any price. Zerust releases a harmless vapor that adheres to enclosed metals, protecting them from moisture and rust for three years. Refills are inexpensive and easy to replace.

Zoom Offers 4-inch Snack-Size Swimbait
Zoom Bait Company announces the release of the new 4-inch Zoom Swimmer, a downsized version of the company’s ultra-popular hollow-bodied swimbait introduced early this year. While the new model is slightly smaller, it retains its 5-inch big brother’s lifelike swimming action because it features the same realistic shad-shaped body and lively paddle tail, just in a slightly more compact package.
This style of lure has taken the bass world by storm over the past half-decade, but just as the monstrous 8- to 12-inch California versions, they don’t produce in every fishery and there’s a need for bite-sized finesse. Fishermen have clamored for a smaller version of the Swimmer that retained the same uniformity, constant swimming action and ultra-natural characteristics of the original. When the forage is smaller than usual or excessive fishing pressure makes the bite tough, this will become your go-to swimbait.
