The first lure we will take a look at is the new ABT Lures Shad Rip Bait. This is another great lure made by Allen Borden and will offer alot in the world of jointed swimbaits. The new Shad Rip Bait will come in a perfect 4 inch size and will be available in 14 color choices. It’s style will be great for working around stumps, laydowns and submerged grass.

The next bait that will see alot of action this coming year will be the new FoodSource Lures, Little Warrior.

The Little Warrior is made of 100% real food making it biodegradable. FoodSource Lures are becoming very popular in both fresh and saltwater fishing.

My favorite jig for the new season has to be the Jewel Bait Company’s new Football Jig. It is made to get down in the nastiest places you could imagine throwing a jig. The 1 ounce size makes it heavy enough to penetrate even the thickest of grass. It also features a 5/0 Mustad hook for great hooksetting power. Jewel Jigs are well known by the finesse fisherman but now they have mastered the world of heavy jigging with the new 1 ounce Football Jig.

Like to frog fish? Check out the new Spro Bronzeye King Daddy! This new 3/4 oz. floating frog is made just like it’s smaller siblings the Dean Rojas Bronzeye Frog and Bronzeye Jr. This new King Daddy will keep your heart pounding when you work it through your favorite frogging territory! We know it’s made by one of the best frog manufactures in the country so it will definitely stand tall this year.

Rounding out my favorite new baits is the Yum Big Show Craw. The nice thing about this new bait is it’s ability to penetrate almost any type cover without much effort due to it’s design. The legs are folded in to make the craw look very similar to a fleeing crawfish when it hit’s the water and starts it’s fall to the bottom. We know how effective a good craw can be by taking a look at Terry Scroggins tournament past! This should be one of the hottest new baits for 2008!

It is always exciting to see the years new products and anticipate their impact on our year. Hopefully this has given you an idea of what to expect this year and how you need to stock your box!
