Soft plastic worms are some of the most effective baits an angler can use to target bass. These baits come in a variety of colors, as well as many dif- ferent sizes and actions. Having the right lure to match the conditions you are fishing can be the difference between getting a few bites, and catch- ing a boat load of fish. Year in and year out, Big Bite Baits strives to develop new baits, continually expanding their line of products designed to bring the big bite to your line. Topwater fishing can be one of the most thrilling ways to target fish. Feeding and schooling bass will key on shad near the surface, willingly feeding on anything that catches their eye. New at ICAST this year, Big Bite Baits is introducing a topwater lure that will grab the attention of these hungry predators. The Suicide Buzz takes their top sell- ing swimbait, the Suicide Shad, and pairs it with a buzzbait body. Available in a 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz model, the Suicide Buzz features a quick rising head designed to quickly plane to the surface. The head and blade colors perfectly match the swim- bait, and each pack comes with a spare bait.

Fish tend to be unpredictable creatures with a mind of their own. From hour to hour, or even min- ute to minute, bass can go from focusing on top- water baits to locking to the bottom and keying in on different prey at the drop of a hat. When the fish decide to make this switch, Big Bite Baits now offers the Tour Flipper Tube to probe the bottom in search of bites. Also new at this year’s ICAST show, the Tour Flipper Tube is a soft body bait that comes in 10 different color patterns. Tube fishing can be one of the more frustrating presentations to keep fish hooked. Pro Staff members voiced concerns from past experiences with tubes where they would lose upwards of 30% of their bites be- cause the bait was too hard. The Tour Flipper Tube is engineered to be extremely soft, allowing for a great landing ratio.
