Yo-Zuri 3DB Pencil
With bass following baitfish into the creeks and sloughs this time of year, everyone needs a good walking bait handy when fish start busting along the surface. The Yo-zuri 3DB Pencil is a top-of-the-line, walk-the-dog-style lure. Its stellar finish and a rear-placement, one-knock cadence rattle gives the bait its back-and-forth swimming action and makes it easy to cast, even into a stiff wind.

Berkley Stunna Jerkbait
Let’s be honest, the jerkbait has become a year-round lure now. But it rose to prominence originally during the fall and winter when bass are bunched up feeding on big schools of baitfish. With that in mind, you shouldn’t go bass fishing this year without the new Berkley Stunna. It shimmies on the fall and darts on the retrieve. It flashes and rolls and fools even the most discerning of bass — so much so that Bassmaster Elite Series pro Hank Cherry used it to win his second-straight Bassmaster Classic title back in June. It comes in 14 eye-popping colors.

B’n’M Slabmaster Crappie Saver
Fall is prime time for crappie fishing — and since many states have minimum length requirements for crappie, you need a good checker to stay legal. If you’ve used smaller traditional crappie checkers, you know sometimes it can be hard to get the fish nosed down into the devices properly. That’ll never be a problem with the Slabmaster. If you catch one that won’t fit in this new product, you might need to call your local fisheries department to report a new record.
