Wounded Imitation

If you've ever seen a dead or dying minnow or shad, you'll notice that they are more often than not missing scales. Sebile Lures works this angle with their lures, by filling them with clear liquid, and putting small silver particles in the liquid to simulate the missing scales. It looks very realistic, especially when the lures are in the water and moving. This first lure is a suspending jerkbait in a clear pale blue to imitate a minnow or shad.
This next lure doesnt have any liquid inside it, but it is jointed and has a somewhat similar action to a Imakatsu Javallon, but of course not as fluid. But it still has that sinuous swimming motion. This is in a clear perch pattern.
This last one is a sinking spook in a clear perch pattern, and contains the liquid and silver flecks. .

Alien Invasion!

One of the things that is always a concern when discussing fishing is invasive species, fish that arent native to the environment being placed there (like the northern snakehead), or being introduced accidentally (like the goby), and causing damage to the ecosystem as they native species have no way to cope with it. I have found another invasive species, one so alien and exotic that they are both a beauty to behold, and a beast on the native bass population. they are called Kazlla. An import from Japan, these surface dwelling creatures lure unsuspecting bass to them using bizarre and alien hypnotic movements and flashy actions of such an exotic flair that bass are attracted to them like flies to honey. I've hunted high and low, and finally found a couple of specimens, and was able to catch them on camera.
This first one attempts to lure fish using its resemblance to the colors of the bluegill. This second related subspecies is called a Green Kanabun, and is especially stealthy in the hours just before dusk.
If you see these, or any other subspecies, please contact me immediately so I may take the appropriate actions.

Sexy Asian Succubus!

Some baits are just plain sexy for just simply being themselves. This applies to this bait, the Megabass Z Crank Blue Label crankbait from Japan. A plain but beautifully finished paint job setting off it's mysterious and seductive emerald eyes, the hint of the pure high quality balsa wood grain showing through the tinted clearcoat on the belly like silky, creamy smooth skin hinting at that much more through slinky filmy lingerie, a high tech and functional micarta circuitboard lip for that naughty cyberpunkette edge and attitude, and sexy slithery smooth lines that will sensously draw the fish into it's hooks deadly caress.
