About Your Mystery Tackle Box

The Northland Tackle Mimic Minnow Tuff Tubes are built from a durable silicone material with lots of natural wiggle and movement. This soft bait has tons of texture and so much movement that it comes to life with the tiniest pop and chug of the rod. Northland Mimic Minnow Tuff Tubes are perfect all season long, and just about anywhere fish love minnows.

When fish hang out in dense grass, the opportunity to ambush baitfish is one of the reasons they do it. You need a bait that can get into the strike zone and then present a convincing baitfish profile. Enter the swim jig. Googan Baits' Grass Hero is a swim jig that's designed to penetrate heavy vegetation on the fall and then glide through the slop with ease, attracting predators and triggering vicious attacks. This bait features a slender head that narrows to a point near the eye of the hook. That makes it move more easily through vegetation. Add a paddle tail trailer for a wobbling action and thumping vibration.

The Lunkerhunt Finesse Swimbait is a right-sized baitfish imposter that triggers strikes like crazy. You can burn it near the surface to create the look of a panicked minnow, guide it through mid-depth cover where ambushing lunkers await, or bounce it on the bottom to imitate the nose-down movement of a foraging prey.

Any bass angler can appreciate a good EWG hook. EWG stands for Extra Wide Gap which is a reference to the amount of space between the hooks shank and the hook point. The added ‘gap’ space allows for larger soft plastic baits to be rigged without getting in the way during hookset. The Stickies EWG comes with a well-balanced gauge, sticky sharp hook point, and well-placed line tie. Together, these features provide you, the angler with everything needed in a good EWG hook.
