  • JLVLures Surface Slasher

    What’s the sound? Pop Pop Pop… That’s the sound of JLVLure’s latest topwater popper the Surface Slasher. Nothing catches a fat bass faster than a popper in the middle of summer when the sun is blazing. Bass love action, and I’ve personally caught a 6 lb.’er with this exact lure.

    The Surface Slasher is a high quality lure. It measures 3.5″ long and weighs just 1/2 oz. This particular model comes in black and gold, but JLVLures has a variety of color options available.

    It comes with two treble hooks that are sure to sink deep into the mouth of a bass.

    The Surface Slasher is very cheap for what you get. Priced around $2.99, you save over 25% instantly. Be sure to add this to your tackle box before your next trip out.

  • Sow Bug Lure

    Trout lovers, grab your rod and tackle box. With the sow bug fly addition to your tackle box, you will never miss a fat trout again. This nymph is very popular among recreational and professional trout anglers.

    Sow bugs aren’t actually insects. They are crustaceans, like lobsters and crabs only they don’t live in the water. They live in damp soil and usually come out at night.

  • Walking Worm

    walking worm

    You’ve seen the infomercial late at night. You’ve thought long and hard about picking up the phone and ordering the Walking Worm. Everyone wants to know is this lure the real deal. I’m here to tell you it is.

    Other plastic worms just sit there with no action unless you’re reeling. Not the Walking Worm. It gives off constant movement and emulates a natural worm to perfection.

    The Walking Worm’s genius is a multi-flex construction that traps air between tail segments. This causes the worm’s tail to constantly curl, as if it were strolling across the bottom or through middle or top water.

    • 50 Patented Walking Worms, 6 colors
    • 5 worm hooks (texas rig)
    • 3 leaded hooks

    • 3 3/16 oz. worm weights
