New Rapala® RipStop™
This holiday season, surprise your loved ones with a lure unlike any other: the new Rapala® RipStop™, a fast-ripping, hard-stopping bait described as a cross between a hard plastic jerkbait and a soft-body swimbait.

The bait’s never-before-seen rear plastic boot tail sets it apart from the competition. Not only does the boot tail create a hard-rolling, slashing action that mimics the live-minnow movements of a soft plastic swimbait, but it also causes the bait to stop on a dime when paused. The RipStop’s body shimmies as it comes to rest, then slowly rises, a natural motion that indicates an easy meal for hungry predators.

A terror for bass and other popular gamefish, the workhorse RipStop may be fished as a twitch bait, popped and ripped like a jerkbait, or cast and reeled in with a steady or variable-speed retrieve, providing a host of options to elicit heart-pounding strikes in any scenario.

Featuring two-part plastic construction with a non-inserted lip, RipStops weigh 1/4 ounce, cast a mile with far with little effort and dive 3 to 4 feet. The bait measure 3 ½ inches, is available in 14 appetizing color patterns and comes armed with two sticky-sharp VMC® light-wire treble hooks.

As versatile as it is strong, Sufix 832 offers improved abrasion resistance, increased casting distance and accuracy, and reduced line vibration with unrivaled sensitivity.

This tried-and-true line comes in six color options, including new Coastal Camo. Originally designed for saltwater applications, Coastal Camo has become a favorite among freshwater anglers thanks to its ability to seamlessly blend in with all types of water clarity and color.

Sufix 832 Advanced Superline is available in tests running from 2 to 80 pounds, and can be purchased in five different spool sizes, ranging from 150 yards to 3,500 yards.

Storm® 360GT Searchbait®
A confidence bait designed to be fished by anglers of all skill levels, the Storm® 360GT Searchbait is the perfect gift for the fishing fanatics on your holiday shopping list.

The lure pairs a minnow-style soft body with a single-ball rattling jig head to deliver incredible, lifelike action at any retrieve speed. And, fishing it couldn’t be easier. Simply tie it on, cast it out and reel it in with a steady retrieve — no added action necessary. The bait’s simple cast-and-retrieve technique makes it easy to efficiently cover water, helping your favorite angler uncover more fish.
