One of the more interesting pieces of terminal tackle to come down the pike in a while, the TriggerHook makes rigging soft plastics a breeze. The hook fastens soft baits in place using a double-barbed point at the line tie end, while the business end of the hook is slid through the lure body then skin-hooked on top. The hook, which comes with small rubber grommets to keep soft plastic baits in place, is offered in sizes 3/0 to 5/0 and in weighted and unweighted versions.

Damiki DC Series Crankbaits
For those of us who thought Zoom could not improve on what is widely considered the best soft plastic jerkbait on the market, we were wrong. Very wrong.
Arriving at a store near you soon, the Swimmin’ Super Fluke has a paddle tail akin to a hollow-body swimbait, but it swims upright without the aid of a weighted hook and has an action only the cousin of the original fluke could have. This is certainly one of those lures you’ll want in your tacklebox — well-hidden from your buddies, of course. The lures will be available in a host of the company’s most popular colors.

Falcon BuCoo Rods
The seven rods in this new series are some of the best values to be had. They provide bass anglers with the lengths and actions they are looking for but for a price that is easy to swallow: roughly $100. The rods are made using the company’s own graphite blanks and are not only lightweight but sensitive as well. Additionally, each rod has no fore-grip and comes with an exposed blank Fuji reel seat, split handle grip and EVA foam grips.
