What are the new baits and tackle we need to fill our boxes and boats with?
Tackle Industries will have new 7', 7'6", 8'6" rods, many new lures and some new custom painted SuperD swimbaits in 5oz and 8oz sizes. Also be on the lookout for our new Camo-D lures. They will be available in booths supporting Veterans charities/outings. $15 suggested donation for either size and 100% will go towards the charity. I also had a group back out on buying 150 6' youth musky rods so, I will be running a special on the youth rods at the shows. Probably $50 vs $80 retail. And of course all kids who stop by the TI booth will get a free $12-$15 musky lure (Super Cisco, Nibbler or MiniD). We will also have 6 new bass rods out and will have a few at the shows. New brand is called VEXAN bass rods. Also some new bass blade baits and swimbaits will be at the shows but in small quantities.
Here are the shows we will be attending this year:

Location: Perryville, MO | Jon,
Tell us about the grub. Saw them on MTO. Any specific place or condition that you find it to be the choice over the traditional jig? |
|

|
Location: North Metro, MN | I would love to be able to get a booth at the shows and share my latest baits with everyone. With a new baby, 3 year old and everything else I'm not sure I can make it happen this year, but it sure would be awesome! Maybe I can find a nice vendor to snag some but if not... at least my local shops will have some for the upcoming season.
One way or another, this season I will proudly introduce the "Tweaker Tail" , The "Winner Spinner", Jumbo "Silent But Deadly" and another bait I've been working on that I haven't really named yet. |

| Hawkeye...Thanks for asking. It's basically a 16" twister tailed grub. It's a monster really. I make matching jigs for it. I don't use it for vertical jigging but rather casting and straight retrieve or jigging it back. It was great for the open water bite this year, as was the Hot Orba, and is selling well especially to Europe for pike. It comes in 10 colors.

| Bondy, do those jigs have any action on the pull when you are swimming them in? |

| Thanks guys. Tungsten is out of my league right now to be quite honest, and when retrieved in the tail is pretty awesome, and there is a slight wobble side to side. |

do you have different wire length to make sure the treble hook is not gonna be right over the other one? |

Location: Palm Coast, FL | Migizi Fishing Rods has a new 7'6" jerkbait rod along with 4 new walleye/bass spinning rods. The walleye/bass spinning rods are so sensitive you can feel the fish swim by the bait! They are built to last and have a lifetime warranty as well. We will also be introducing a new grilling spatula with a muskie cut out in it.

Location: Palm Coast, FL | Had some people asking about the walleye rods and how much they and the spatula were. Here is the rundown:
All spinning rods with my custom high modulus graphite blanks for extra sensitivity and great lifting power, the highest grade cork you can get and my upgraded titanium framed stainless steel nitrite coated guides. Handcrafted right here in the good ol' USA! The 6'6" rods list at $279 and the 7' at $289. If you come to any shows, I run a show special discount on all my rods.
The muskie spatula is $30. |

| Klack bait will be the hottest new bait for '14. If you fish pressured waters you better have a couple! saw pictures of a pretty massive 56" caught on one the first day the guy used it. |

i think the boogeyman blade was not designed to hit the head? |

| which boogerman has two 6/0 trebles to keep a fish pinned longer than 10 seconds? or a sweet giant 9/0 single hook to bring the big dawgs out of hiding? lets be real the boogerman was a bass bait that caught musky yes. the klack bait is a musky bait that catches them more often (by means of much better hookup and landing ratio in addition to better sound profile) when fishing the weedless model and the open water model is a no brainer. |

The NB Jr. is the same design as the original(shrink wrapped and replaceable) as you described only it is a smaller hook (as one would assume). It is a great choice for downsizing and also has proven to be a great BIG BASS bait. |

Location: IGH Minnesota | LBF... here is the Heartthrob, the new lure from Waterbeast. It is "sick" and has put fish in the boat for years. Ross K tied up the first one back in "07" and the few lucky guys that had them have been putting nice fish in the boat. Now it's out to the public thanks to Clint and the Waterbeast crew.

| Also available in Quad 6's. To my mind, I have always viewed it like an 'in-line spinnerbait'. Waterbeast Tackle did a stellar job beefing it up with some design work. It is a good bait; a nice change up to the Double 10's. |
