I got my hands on a couple new things from Blade Runner Tackle Today.
One is the new hollow body swimbait hooks designed for the Basstrix. The other thing is a new swim jig that Rick Tiets Designed. Both are great new products that will help in a lot of different applications.
First off the new “Small Swimbait” hooks are going to be a life saver for a lot of people who have been struggling with trying to find the perfect rig for their Basstrix.
They come in a few hook sizes ranging from a small 3/0 up to a 6/0 . They also vary in weight from 3/8 up to 1 oz. These set ups will allow you to put a split ring and a stinger on if needed which a lot of people are going to be very happy about.
I personally am pretty excited about trying the New Swim Jig Called the Paddle Head.
It is a baitfish profile jig with large eyes and an extra little tab to keep your trailer on nice and tight.
This is going to be a dynamite bait I can not wait to give it a shot

You can’t buy online from Blade Runner, but the hooks are available from Hi’s Tackle Box in San Francisco

Like the looks of those new BassTrix style hooks, great looking blog, I’ll be back 😉
Do you usually use braid or fluorocarbon when fishing BassTrix type swimbaits?

I like braid in heavy cover and dirty water, I switch up to 15 pound P-Line Floro clear in clear water.
