New Fishing Lures for 2024

Berkley Nessie

An innovative soft-bodied glide bait built with a reinforced mesh joint that provides durability while allowing free range of motion. Brush-style tail mimics the natural movement of baitfish. Slow-sinking with an upright horizontal posture, plus stabilizing belly fins to encourage S-shaped swim action.

Berkley Dime

Offering anglers the durability and performance of a plastic bait, the Dime features balsa-like action thanks to Berkley’s patented Flash Disc technology. It not only casts further due to the weight transfer system in the smaller sizes, but it tracks perfectly and features sticky sharp Fusion19 treble hooks for when it’s time to fill the boat. Rounding out the offering are first in class finishes and colorway options to match the hatch that balsa baits cannot achieve.

Rapala Crush City Soft Baits

Designed by 2022 BassMaster Angler of the Year Jacob Wheeler, the series features 5 bait shapes designed to cover all popular soft bait applications: paddle tail swimbait, chatterbait/spinnerbait trailer, craw, Ned rig/dropshot, and a bug. Each bait style is loaded with refinements.

 

LIVETARGET Ultimate Frog Stride Bait

Sits like a living frog at rest, eyes just above the surface, body angled 45-degrees down with its legs contracted beneath its body. When twitched, the ULTIMATE FROG’s body dips beneath the surface as its legs extend to full length. Molded from ABS plastic and legs crafted from highly elastic and durable TPE. Popper and Finesse models available in 2- and 2 1/2-inch sizes and 8 colors.

 

Spro Helix Stick

Salt-impregnated, premium stick bait that can be rigged Texas, wacky or Neko style. The Helix stick is 5-inches long and weighs 5/16-ounce. Shimmies naturally on the fall. 10 colors.

 

Z-Man 3 1/2-inch Scented Jerk ShadZ

Inspired by Jeff “Gussy” Gustafson’s 2023 Bassmaster Classic victory, the new 3.5-inch Scented Jerk ShadZ offers the same proven profile as the 4- and 5-inch sizes in a slightly subtler package. Supercharged with Pro-Cure Super Gel attractant and salt-impregnated for optimal rate-of-fall and natural, horizontal posture, the Scented Jerk ShadZ’s modified split-tail design imitates erratic baitfish action. A deep belly hook-slot for weedless rigging and positive hooksets.

 

Z-Man Micro Shad Headz

A hydro-contoured minnow-shaped jighead made to match Z-Man Micro Finesse baits. A light-wire, needlepoint black nickel hook with a hybrid molded split grip and wire trailer keeper. 3D eyes. 1/32- (#6 hook), 1/16- (#4) and 3/16-ounce (#2) sizes in 4 chip-resistant colors.

Yamamoto Yamatanuki 2.5

This new size of the Yamatanuki was repeatedly requested by our pros and consumers who wanted a smaller, more compact version of their new favorite soft plastic. The smaller size allows for greater application in clear water, smallmouth, spotted bass, and other finesse scenarios. The 2.5” perfectly fits the bill as it can be fished on light line, rigged weightless, or on most any style of jig head. It can be cast, pitched, skipped, dropped, or presented however the situation calls for.
