Salem, Va. – March 17, 2025 –Missile Baits is debuting the all-new Shredder and Shredder Jr. soft plastic baits and selling a custom run Crazy Chrome color of the Spunk Shad 3.5 and 4.5 at the 2025 Bassmaster Classic in Ft. Worth, Texas plus plenty of Missile madness in booth 2326. The Shredders are a cross between a hair jig and fuzzy dice, which is a design collaboration with Fish or Die Bait Company. There is nothing like the Shredders. Missile Baits is also conducting a $1,000 Mustache Contest in their booth at the Classic. Entrants will get a gift from Missile, the top 10 will each get $50 gift cards, and the winner, chosen later through social media, will receive $1,000. Hog Farmer Bait company will have their new and proven baits in the Missile booth as well. New exclusive apparel will be debuted at the Bassmaster Classic alongside a full array of Taddo Designs custom baits with a totally new 4.5” glide bait.
“The Shredders are functional fuzzy dice. The 4” is going to be flipped a lot and the 2.5” is nasty on a drop shot but both can be used in so many ways. We will show the world the Shredders at the Classic, which will be a wild time with exclusive Crazy Chrome Spunk Shads, the mustache contest, Taddo baits, and the new merch,” says John Crews, Missile Baits owner and professional bass angler.
Missile Baits will be taking entries into their $1,000 Mustache Contest at the John Crews/ Missile Baits booth (#2326). Each entrant will get a reward plus the top 10 will all get $50 Missile gift cards. The winner will be chosen from the top 10 on social media after the Classic and receive the $1,000 top prize.
The Shredder and Shredder Jr. are a completely new type of soft plastic bait. (see underwater video:https://youtu.be/rSFD9NeXA0s?si=KapdHBC93lukflc5 ) The design and concept are a collaboration effort between Missile Baits and Fish or Die Bait Company. The Shredders look like a hair jig but have an extension in the body for easy and versatile rigging options including Texas rig, drop shot, jig head, swing head, Carolina rig, and more. Both sizes will come in 8 colors and sell for a $6.99 retail price. The Shredders will ship to dealers all over by mid-April.
