Zoom brings back an original in hand-pour laminates.
Zoom Bait Company will introduce the Original Zoom Worm, a finesse worm that dates back 40 years.
The new version, however, will come in hand-poured triple laminate patterns instead of the conventional injection colors that originally comprised its lineup.
This release comes a year after Zoom brought out the "Z-3" triple laminates in the Swamp Crawler product, another finesse-oriented worm. Anglers across the country have clamored for additional products to be released in this lineup, and the subtle 6-inch Original - with its flat tail, slight egg sack and lightly-ribbed body - seemed a likely choice to fulfill the needs of dropshotters. Like its predecessor, it combines the best attributes of hand-poured worms with affordability and Zoom's legendary quality control.
The new version will be just as tantalizing as the original, but the build process will be more like that of traditional "garage pours," a labor-intensive, multi-step effort that produces a softer body and a wider range of color options. Up until now, this has been difficult to replicate in a mass production setting. Nevertheless, its shape will remain true to the original upon which the Zoom brand was built.
The Z-3 Original Zoom Worm will initially be available in three colors - Prizm Shad, Sexy Shad and Morning Dawn - to match your local forage and water color. It will soon be available at leading tackle stores and online retailers.

Swingin Sugar Buzz Bait Improves Hook-Ups
The buzzbait has long been a staple of the Strike King lineup as well a preferred tool of bass anglers everywhere.
Staying true to their tradition of innovation, Strike King offers its newest buzzbait, the all-new Swinging Sugar Buzz.
The Sugar Buzz really captures the recent trend of the free-swinging hook design. I dont know if Ive seen a bait that this technology better lends itself to, explains 2014 BASS Elite Series AOY, Greg Hackney. The design of this bait allows the skirt and hook to move separately from the head. The action found in this design draws strikes, and more importantly ensures that you land what bites.
Available in ¼, 3/8, and ½ ounce sizes and 6 beautiful colors, the Swinging Sugar Buzz will be available to better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.

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.

Rig Rangler
Secure the Rig Rangler to an umbrella rig by sliding the line into the slot.
If youre an umbrella rig angler, I dont have to tell you about the headaches of keeping all of those baits from tangling when tied to a rod thats 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 its ready to use and eliminate tangles.
And when youre ready to fish, simply slide the Rangler up the line, pop the line through the slot and store the Rangler.
Learn more about the Rig Rangler at c2cfishing.com.

When storing, pull the Rangler down over the Umbrella rig and hook the bottom hook to your rod.
