The "Vudu Shrimp " by Egret Baits is 3 1/2 inches long and comes pre-rigged on a 3/16 oz jig head. The New Vudu Shrimp has a Kevlar weave through the body giving it strength and durability. Outstanding under a popping or rattling cork. It also can be free lined off the bottom and trolled while paddling.
The SPRO Little John 50 crank bait features a silent weight transfer system which allows kayak anglers to cast longer despite the lure’s small size. It ideal for use in shallow target zones, 3-5 ft.
Designed by legendary angler and TV personality, Larry Dahlberg, the River2Sea Whopper Plopper delivers a sputtering topwater disruption that is begging to be crushed. Well-known for its ability to catch, Dahlberg and the folks at River2Sea originally created the Whopper Plopper for musky, but once largemouth and smallmouth started crushing, it was altered to meet the needs of bass anglers.
Slightly heavier than a 5-inch Senko, Yamamoto's 4-inch "Kreature" can be cast weightless for a slow, horizontal descent. Raise your rod tip, and you can burn it back across the water's surface like a buzzbait. This versatile lure's performance is outstanding when Texas rigged for flipping or Carolina rigged for those bottom-hugging fish. The Kreature's forward arms swim during the fall, and when it comes to rest on the bottom, the slightest movement will cause the rear paddles to spring forward and back while the floating tail tantalizes fish.
The KVD Sexy Frog is one of the finest, feature-packed, frog-style baits yet from Strike King. Chief among its features are a sealed nose, which minimizes water entry, and a free-floating rattle to create the noise needed to get those lunkers' attention. Designed and approved by Kevin VanDam for open water and heavy cover applications, it's an ideal bait for great topwater frog action!
Kayak anglers can use the Scum Frog "Bigfoot" like a conventional buzz bait, but because the Bigfoot floats, you can stop and spend more time around weeds, brushes and stumps. Or, you can retrieve in short strokes between pauses. Either way, Bigfoot will bubble and splash, driving fish wild!
