Rage Bug by Strike King
Following last year’s launch and impending success of the Rage Bug, our pros as well as consumers flooded us with the exact same request; a bigger version. So by popular demand, we are excited to introduce the all new Magnum Rage Bug!
"The Rage Bug has become a go-to bait for several presentations for me," says Strike King pro and 5-time BASS winner, Todd Faircloth. "Despite the overwhelming success I've had with it, I could often envision the benefit of a larger version,"
Faircloth said the Mag Rage Bug will shine in flipping and punching scenarios. Its larger profile and therefore increased action will be easier for big bass to find, he added.
The all-new Magnum Rage Bug is 4.5î in length and comes in 10 proven colors.

Features Added to Shimano’s Stradic CI4+ Spinning Reels
Shimano's newly-designed Stradic CI4+ reels now incorporate an asymmetrical shaped Magnunlite (MGL) rotor to make the reels even lighter and its Hagane Design Concept with a cold-forged Hagane Gear.

New Shimano Metanium MGL
Shimano offers its newly-enhanced Metanium MGL series, with advances including Shimano’s lightweight Magnumlite spool, a next generation SVS Infinity braking system and SilentTune.
The series includes six 150-size reels in three different gears ratios, each offered in both right- and left-hand retrieve.
“The heart of the new Metanium MGL baitcasters is in our Magnumlite spool,” said Shimano’s product manager Chris Hess. “With the use of this new spool design, we’re able to decrease the moment of inertia – the point in your cast when the spools starts to spin – allowing anglers to experience not only greater casting distance – as much as a 15-percent improvement, but also better accuracy over a wide variety of lures. “
