Zoom Adds New Z Craw Jr.Zoom Adds New Z Craw Jr.

Zoom Bait Company announces the release of the new Z Craw Jr., a downsized version of the popular ribbed crawfish lure introduced last year.

The company shrunk the original model down from five inches to three and a half inches for times when bass demand a smaller bite, yet it retains the same forward facing ribs and fluttering craws of the full sized Z Craw.

Secure the Rig Rangler to an umbrella rig by sliding the line into the slot.

If you’re an umbrella rig angler, I don’t have to tell you about the headaches of keeping all of those baits from tangling when tied to a rod that’s lying on the deck or in the rod locker.

Swimbait jigs catch on everything and you spend a lot of time untangling them.

Well, the Rig Rangler Tackle Management System solves that. It consists of a 7-inch plastic tube that has a slot down the side in which the line slips into, enabling you to slide the Rig Rangler on and off your line or down on A-rig baits for storage without damaging the lure configuration.

When on the rod in the store position, you can clip the bottom jig hook onto the rod hook keeper until it’s ready to use and eliminate tangles.

And when you’re ready to fish, simply slide the Rangler up the line, pop the line through the slot and store the Rangler.

Ocho Is Now Offered in 4 and 6-inchOcho Is Now Offered in 4 and 6-inch

When our pros asked Strike King for the perfect soft-plastic stickbait, the Ocho was the end result. It was initially offered it in 2 popular sizes, 5” and 7,” which sales and angler feedback confirmed were the right ones.

However, as consumers caught on to the advantages of the Ocho, they demanded more sizes and colors, so the 4” and 6” Ocho were added to the KVD Perfect Plastics line.

“The super-soft formula unique to the KVD Perfect Plastic coupled with the flat, octagonal body gives the Ocho unmatched action as is falls,” says 15-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier Shaw Grigsby. “The new 4” will be awesome when targeting smallmouth and spots, while the new 6” could very well be the perfect size for lunker largemouth.”

The 4” Ocho comes 10 to a pack, while the 6” version comes 6 per pack. They are available in 10 awesome colors including bubblegum and can be found at better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.
