Features Functions SEBILE is not just another brand. Our proprietary designs have special features and unique benefits for anglers. Designed for All Predator Species For the biggest to the smallest, from top to bottom, anywhere you fish, there are SEBILE lures to match the size and strength of the species you plan to catch, to match your fishing gear, methods and the conditions. Our catalog can help you to select the right lures for your fishing needs. Ultrasonic Body Welding All SEBILE lures benefit from this, making them 20-30% stronger than standard glued lures. Full Wire Reinforced Lures of exceptional strength for brutes that can destroy ordinary lures. A doubled stainless wire, welded for maximum strength, runs through these lures from end to end, along with extra strong hooks and split rings. Salt & Sun Series For the most ferocious big game species! The strongest hooks available, super heavy duty split rings and reinforced bodies are foam-filled so even hard, toothy bites don’t faze these lures. New sizes for 2011 have stainless steel plate internal construction that defies destruction! SEBILE Finishes Our premium Evidence colors comes in a variety of patterns to suit any species, conditions or environment. Possessed and Blood Red colors have glitter or bloodcolored fluid that moves inside causing motion within that emits low-frequency sounds. Our Insight colors last long even against the toothiest critters because finishes are applied on the inside (and outside) before assembly. Turbulence One of our trademark and most effective methods to activate SEBILE lures is to design for water turbulence that lets them mimic aquatic life, move naturally and be sensed by fish due to these turbulences. Multiple Lip Options The ACast Minnow, Koolie Minnow, Crankster and Rattsler are available in multiple lips to function at different depths and produce different actions within the same lure style. Innovative Edged Lips On Koolie Minnows, Crankster MR and the ACast Minnow DR, the unique lip is edged out away from the lure body. Benefits are longer, smoother casts, easier retrieves, better feel, and deeper dives in long-lipped models. Compressed Body Power The Magic Swimmer, ACast Minnow and Rattsler push lots of water along the compressed, tall sides of these lures, using turbulences that move them in lifelike ways and are sensed by predators.

Benefits

Power Keel A proprietary feature on the Stick Shadd, Bonga Jerk and Splasher. It functions with turbulence to make a free range of incredible movements possible with these lures. Complex Body Shapes Innovative shapes never seen before are the trademark of SEBILE lures like the Slim Stick, Ghost Walker, Bonga Jerk, Splasher, Onduspoon, Slender Eel, Proppler Buzz and more.They are quite different than the common industry standard shapes because they're designed to “speak” to the fish more than to the angler. Weight Transfer Long, accurate casts are yours when using our Possessed and Blood Red fluid-filled lures; the tail loads on the cast to sail way out there, and the fluid redistributes naturally on the retrieve. Internal weight transfer using heavy metal beads inside are features of the Koolie Minnow BRL and LL 102, the ACast Minnow, Crankster and Rattsler. Snagless Designs Numerous facets of SEBILE lures are designed to avoid snags. The Flatt Shad Snagless exemplifies this. The Koolie Minnow’s humpback, flattened belly, roll, diving angle and buoyancy function to deter snags. Every aspect of the Crankster MR is designed to be surprisingly snagless when used properly. The Magic Swimmer Soft and Stick Shadd Hollow have snagless ability. Superior Hooks SEBILE lures have the best hooks possible, matched to each lure’s ideal usage with light, medium, heavy or big game gear.When the best hook for the job isn’t available, SEBILE custom designs it, as with the Soft Weight System, Pro-Shad Spinnerbait, Flatt Shad Snagless and select new Salt & Sun sizes for 2011. High Quality Patrick Sebile says, “Fishing with my lures is like fishing with myself beside you, sharing my knowledge and experience as a fishermen and lure designer with you. Every design has been extensively tested by me; the finishes, balance and actions adjusted to near perfection so that every lure is easy to use and effective for everyone from the novice fisherman to the pro angler. High quality is a part of this and therefore SEBILE’s commitment to you — to always produce a high quality lure for you.” Catalog creation by R.Yoder Graphics.

Accomplishments

We hope you will enjoy our catalog. We wish you the best on your upcoming fishing adventures, and we hope our lures will help you and your friends make lasting lifetime memories. SEBILE is not a typical company that produces common styles or copies currently popular tackle as others in the industry do; but SEBILE researches, tests and offers anglers unique products that are one-of-a-kind and that truly “speak” to the fish more than to the angler, and that is a big part of the success that SEBILE baits have had in the short time the company has been in business.

These awards are an acknowledgement that SEBILE produces high quality, innovative lures and terminal tackle that are well above the industry standard.These awards reflect the uniqueness and innovation that each SEBILE lure model brings to the fishing industry. The awards are industry expert recognition that the features, functions and benefits of each SEBILE product differentiates them from the competition.

Patrick Sebile founded SEBILE USA in 2006 and since then, SEBILE has distinguished itself by winning a total of seven international tackle trade show awards. • At EFTTEX, the European Fishing Tackle Trade Exhibition in Rome, Italy in 2008, SEBILE won Best Hard Lure for its Stick Shad Blood Red series. • At ICAST 2009 in Orlando, Florida, SEBILE won two awards — Best Hard Bait for its Spin Shad and Best Soft Bait for its Magic Swimmer Soft. It was the first time in ICAST’s 41 year history that a company won both hard and soft lure categories. • In June 2010, SEBILE became the only brand on record to win three awards at EFTTEX hosted in Valencia, Spain.The company won Best Hard Lure for its D&S Crank, Best Metal Lure for its Pro-Shad Spinnerbait and Best Accessory/Terminal Tackle for the SEBILE Soft Weight System.

Best Hard and Metal Lures, Best Accessory at EFTTEX 2010

• In July 2010, the company won the Best Terminal Tackle award for the SEBILE Soft Weight System at ICAST in Las Vegas, Nevada. Winning so many awards is not an easy thing to do. EFTTEX and ICAST are the world’s two largest, most important international sportfishing tackle trade shows. Many thousands of innovative new tackle products are entered into the judging, and only credentialed outdoor media, wholesale and retail store buyers are eligible to vote on the many new products. Awards are based on innovation, usability, design, quality, practicality and value for the money.

Best Hard and Soft Lures at ICAST 2009

“It is a great achievement to win even one award at EFTTEX or ICAST,” says company founder, CEO and lure designer, Patrick Sebile, “and it is unprecedented to win seven awards in the lure and terminal tackle categories in the past three years. Through genius, passion, friendship and hard work, there is no limit to what a company like ours can achieve. We thank every one in the industry who has voted for our products, and we thank every angler who relies on SEBILE products for better fishing.” Table of Contents Features, Functions and Benefits. . . 2 Awards and Accomplishments . . . . 3 New Products for 2011 . . . . . . . . . . 4 Soft Weight System. . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 A.T.

Each pack contains 2 hooks and 18 weights.

The SEBILE Soft Weight System can be used with any kind of soft plastics whether worms, grubs, lizards, frogs, crawdads, swimbaits, soft jerkbaits or others. The custom-designed hooks are strong, ultra-sharp, and made to the highest precision Japanese hook standards. The soft weights feature a Tungsten gum rubber style construction so that they can be easily added, repositioned on the hook shank or removed to make on-the-water adjustments to fishing conditions. The weights are reusable and made of environmentally friendly material. As a general guideline to positioning weights to give a lure different falling and swimming actions, note that weightforward positioning enables the angler to impart some interesting actions and makes the bait a little more responsive to twitches and jerks. Weight-forward also tends to penetrate and drop down through thick grass or brush more easily.

SM

2010 Best Accessory/Terminal

Add or remove Soft Weights by “screwing” them on or off, particularly to get past the barb. This maximizes the life of the reusable weights.

The weight-back positioning proves invaluable for swimming lures steadily on the retrieve or to maximize the action of a horizontal falling lure.

Add Soft Weights easily by threading onto the hook and sliding to the desired location.

The weight-inside positioning tends to produce a dying baitfish effect and is often desirable for dead-drifting or deadsticking a lure. Adding or removing weights helps with casting on windy versus calm days and more or less weights affects depth, sink rate and so on. Don’t neglect to study the effect that adding or removing weights has on the action and movement of a bait as well.

Provides ANGLED descent

For example, using the Magic Swimmer Soft 130 with two soft weights in front of the hook shank, you achieve a tighter, faster side-to-side wiggle that ripples down the swimbait's body from head to tail. This presents a more alert, normal baitfish movement.

Provides LEVEL descent

Using the Magic Swimmer Soft 130 with four soft weights on the lower part of the hook right under the belly, you get a wider, rolling action which kicks the tail out further to each side as it swims. This presents a more disoriented, struggling movement of a baitfish in a bit of trouble, hustling along in a more distressed manner than normal. So adding or removing weights will help you to fine-tune the action and movements of soft lures. 6

A.T. Worm

This is not just one more worm. It works on all terrains (why it’s called A.T.) and under all conditions. It has unique new features and benefits for anglers.

With the floating model, if you hook one through the middle and use soft weights on the hook so it will sink slowly, you get a very unique kind of upward bend or bow to the bait that makes it very vibrant and lifelike. It practically suspends when it gets to the bottom, and every time you twitch it a little, it gives it a lot of life. So you can keep it in a specific spot where a fish is, and the worm is going to be very active just sitting there.

First, the A.T.Worm’s head is especially thick compared to the average worm, and it is hollow from its tail to its nose. The fact it is hollow permits the material to possess a certain kind of toughness and resilience that would not be possible otherwise. So the A.T. is tougher and really lasts longer than the average worm although thanks to the hollow body, the feeling and action is that of a very soft, supple plastic.

A “pre-rigged” worm with one hook in front and a second stinger hook near the tail is very easy to make with the A.T. Worm by running the connecting leader inside the hollow.This is deadly when fish are on beds because they tend to pick lures up by the tail. Hook slot

Another unique feature is its head is shaped like the vhull of a boat. That’s a big benefit especially with a Carolina rig because, if you use just enough speed, the A.T. Worm will lift an inch or so and glide above the bottom, so it gains more visibility. In comparison, the average worm simply drags on the bottom behind a Carolina rig.

For deep jigging, you can use the SEBILE Flats Jighead (or any jighead) and simply run the jig hook through the A.T. Worm’s head. Then thread a small single hook you have attached on a leader through the hollow so it comes out the opening between the two parts of the split tail. The rigging is very discreet with the leader inside the worm, and whenever deep-dwelling fish act finicky, you are sure to land many more fish by using a stinger hook in the tail.

V-hull

When rigged weightless, thanks again to the v-hull shape, the A.T. Worm will almost fly or soar underwater with long slides. Using SEBILE Soft Weights, varying the position and number of weights, you can change the planing angle of the A.T. Worm to slide and glide in various directions.

Another unique feature is the A.T.Worm’s tail. It is a kind of split tail but then again, it is not your usual split tail. The way it’s designed, you will see the two fleshy appendages kind of crisscross to create an X. Turbulence will not be uniform everywhere around the tail, and especially between the two halves of the split tail, thanks to the crisscross design, turbulence varies greatly. That produces a lot of action when you twitch it or when you pull it a little bit faster, you will see the tail flapping quite a lot. It’s a perfect match to how baitfish move their tails - not too much until they decide to accelerate - and then you’ll see the tail vibrate strongly.

The hollow body allows for many interesting new places where you can position the hook. It is possible for instance to take a hook and thread it from the tail end all the way down inside the hollow until you reach the head so you have inverted the normal position of the hook in the worm. Now when you give the A.T. Worm slack line, it will glide away from you, going under docks, trees or any place.

Rigging is easy because “hook holes” are molded in for entry at the nose and exit in the belly thanks to three slots.

The ACast Minnow is designed to be able to cast one an incredibly long distance. A raceway inside runs from behind the head to the tail, and several heavy metal beads cause a mass transfer of a significant percentage of the ACast’s weight into its narrow, pointed tail during the cast. The beads roll back and chamber perfectly behind a baffle in the lure’s head for the ideal swimming balance during the retrieve. The flat sides of the ACast Minnow are designed to move or stir a lot of water, creating a trail of turbulence underwater to attract finicky fish from far distances. Whether you work one fast or slow, the ACast’s broad sides create an irresistible paddling action that roils the water with its flat sides, thereby stirring up hungry fish's appetites!

The Small Lip (SL) models come in floating (95 and 125) or sinking (125 only).When you see their broad sides flashing on the retrieve, you’ll realize just how much water those sides are stirring. The SL models run 2-5 feet deep, depending on model. All may be retrieved or trolled steadily. They also have lifelike darting action when jerked. One dependable tactic is to jerk them without pausing too long. Mainly keep jerking and moving them to excite fish into striking. The Small Lip models all have a wide side-to-side rolling action that is great for powerfishing to cover water quickly in order to search for active fish. The Medium Lip (ML) models have a tight wiggling action. The 95 ML reaches depths to 6 feet, the 125 ML dives to 8 feet, and both suspend when paused.They’re at their best when you pause one right beside fish-holding cover, or whenever inactive fish are present, the suspending nature of the ML models can coax strikes from non-feeding fish that can’t resist the long pauses that are so deadly with the 95 ML and 125 ML.

Small and Medium Lip ACast Minnows come in 95mm (3-3/4") and 125 mm (5") sizes. Generally speaking, the 95 size is suited to relatively small to medium gamefish with relatively lighter tackle whereas the 125 is apropos to attract and land decent size fish on medium/heavy gear.

depth even when you jerk, twitch or rip it as hard as you can, without giving you the wrist-breaking resistance that so many other big baits do.

The ACast Minnow shares the same natural baitfish shape and silhouette as the Magic Swimmer. The difference is the three-piece Magic Swimmer has no lip whereas the one-piece ACast Minnow's lip causes its tall, compressed body and long tail to move a lot of water as the broad sides present a vivid, flashing profile, producing a strong turbulence trail of roiled water that is easily sensed by predators from a far distance under most conditions.

The ACast Minnow DR (Deep Runner) uses the same extended lip principle as the famous Koolie Minnow LL (Long Lip). Combining the benefits of a very deep diving bill with the ACast's body shape, you will be surprised to hit the bottom faster than you ever experienced before. Thanks to the thin silhouette of the ACast 165 DR, you won't believe how deep this lure will dive, giving you more chances to catch more fish by going where very few others lures are able to go, without the need of a heavy trolling weight or downrigger! That makes the ACast Minnow DR perfect for trolling in open water for big fish. It’s very good for casting too as you will find that long distance on the cast is incredible for such a long-lipped lure.

The unique lips of the MR and DR give them their great action and make them easy divers. Patrick Sebile has designed them to swim with the smoothest and least resistance possible so you can fish with them all day without getting tired. Make no mistake however, the ACast Minnow MR and DR are big baits requiring beefy tackle to fish them. With their bulky bodies, the ACast Minnow MR and DR are going to appeal to trophy fish whether in freshwater or inshore saltwater angling.

If you like catching big fish, make the ACast Minnow 165 MR and DR your choices to target lunker fish down deep. Use either the MR or DR depending on the depth you want to fish, and switch to the Magic Swimmer 165 when fish are chasing big baitfish near the surface or in shallow water.

The name Bonga Jerk comes the African word for menhaden which is “bonga” — a member of the shad and herring family. One of Patrick Sebile’s many proprietary designs, the “Power Keel” is the secret of the action as well as the shape of this lure. The Power Keel gives this bait its shad or menhaden body shape that most predator fish love, but also remember that many other deep-bodied baitfish have this instinctive profile. So the Bonga Jerk’s shape imitates not only shad but many other baitfish found worldwide. Thanks to its integral “Power Keel”, the Bonga Jerk slices through the water with incredible agility and lifelike action.The bait lunges erratically with each rod twitch or jerk and then recovers with a darting, side-to-side walking motion producing violent strikes. This bait also works beautifully when trolled, shifting from side to side in a rhythmic dance and its “Full Wire” assembly withstands the most brutal attacks from big fish. Also comes in a regular model for light or medium tackle fishing.

So you can really use it as a kind of stop-and-go topwater, but you can also run it right under the surface and use it as a glider style bait by giving it short, quick twitches or long, powerful jerks. The reaction created by the Power Keel helps it to have an erratic motion when used this way. The Power Keel also helps to maintain a good amount of speed and stability while trolled, making tail vibration that attracts fish. Indeed it is a great bait when trolled straight or with outriggers, or used as a downrigger lure from 1/2 up to 22 knots for the 165 model! Depending on their mood or the species, fish can be slow moving or fast runners - and the Bonga Jerk fits all these different trolling speed situations from very slow to super fast.

The Bonga Jerk is unique in the stop-and-go kind of action you can use, if you are trying to work calm water, and entice predators up to the surface, what you can do is give it a good yank so the sharp keel slices down under the water, and then let it rise back up to the surface, settle, and then give another yank, let it surface, settle and keep repeating that.The rounded shape of the head helps to create disturbance in the water and also gives the bait a realistic silhouette. The big head also causes the body to stay on top for a second after the tail swishes and makes the water’s surface explode! This is why stop-and-go action is so effective with this lure, as the big swirl from the tail attracts predators within a second or two.

The Bonga Jerk is a multiuse bait that every angler will love. This lure can be used in freshwater as well as in saltwater, fast or slow, trolling or casting. You can simply cast and retrieve, you can stop and go, walk the dog, twitch it gently or jerk it as hard as you can! What you will like most is its versatility.

The Bonga Minnow 72 is a topwater morsel that has a short, fat profile. Fish can't help but smash such a compact, chunky topwater bait walking across the surface.The 72 is best fished and the most fun with relatively light tackle. For medium or average size gamefish, the Bonga Minnow 95 is a great length (about 3.7 inches) and just so chunky. It really makes a tempting mouthful on medium to medium-heavy topwater tackle. Just walk the dog with it.

that only the smallest of rod movements are needed to activate it’s side to side walking action. It really doesn’t tire you like some others big topwaters, is easy to cast and its shape is easily engulfed by big fish. Although the head of a Bonga Minnow is very wide, the tail is very thin so fish get hooked securely, and few fish are lost.

To give a little secret away, the “Full Wire” reinforced Bonga Minnow 125 is one of Patrick Sebile's favorite topwaters with which to target trophy fish. So if you know where a behemoth fish is hanging out, it may be time to tempt it with a big Bonga Minnow 125! It may look large and hard to work, but truth is

The Crankster SR Shallow Runner has the same body shape as the Crankster MR Medium Runner and it has the same heavy metal free-floating ball bearing inside for mass transfer of much of the Crankster’s weight into the tail for increased casting distance and accuracy. It’s this heavy bead inside that also gives the Crankster SR its attractive rattle that can be heard for long distances underwater. The Crankster SR has its lip designed at a special angle, matched to the shape and the balance of its body, so that the bait will swim seductively a few inches under the surface, creating an attractive trail of subsurface turbulence and heavy rattling noise that predators sense with their lateral lines.

sky, making it an obvious target for any predator that hones in on its large profile, subsurface turbulence trail and loud sound at night. During the day, any time when it gets very windy and the surface of the water is choppy, rippled or wind-smeared, you may want to try the Crankster SR. Under these conditions, a typical topwater lure may get lost in the surface commotion and a topwater may not be able to call attention to itself because of all the surface action of the water itself. The beauty of the Crankster SR is that it descends a few inches underneath the chaotic surface of the water when it’s choppy or windy. There, a few inches beneath the surface chaos, the Crankster SR is very visible, very vulnerable, singled out and susceptible to any gamefish that is ready to grab at it! Not only does the Crankster SR itself become highly visible when it drops down beneath the tempest-tossed surface of the water, but the many ripples of the surface act like so many shards of a mirror to reflect multiple images of the Crankster in every direction, throwing flashes and glimmers of the Crankster’s image all around it, signaling gamefish in every direction to the Crankster’s presence.

It is very easy to change the swimming level from very close to the surface and almost waking on a slow retrieve to swimming several inches deep by changing the rod angle. If you keep the rod at about a 45-50 degree angle, that will help keep the bait right under the surface throughout the retrieve. By holding the rod tip down, it will then swim from 4" (SR 50) to 10" (SR 65) deep. You may even alternate between the actions on the same retrieve by switching between holding the rod up and keeping it down. Summer, when weeds are at their thickest and rise closest to the water’s surface is a great time to capitalize on the Crankster SR’s shallow nature and loud rattle that calls bass out from under the thick grass. In tidal rivers, other crankbaits may become unusable at low tide, due to emergent vegetation as the tide ebbs, making the Crankster SR’s shallow swimming level and rattle indispensible once again. Night fishing is a great time for the Crankster SR’s large profile to be silhouetted against the night

The Crankster MR Medium Runner casts an incredible distance and displays an attention-attracting tight, fast wiggle with a loud yet natural swimming sound that rings the dinner bell for any hungry predator.You’ll never know what’s going to crash your Crankster next! You will be astonished by the Crankster’s remarkable distance casting ability. Most crankbaits are not aerodynamic. Many will often spin and stall in mid-air. Yet the Crankster MR, the first time you try it, you will see it casts like a rocket.The reason is it contains a heavy tungsten bead inside. When you cast, the bead which is 60% of the lure’s weight moves to the tail for long distance and accurate casts.

weed stalks. The rotund and bulbous body makes it more buoyant than most crankbaits too, and that buoyancy is also what makes the Crankster react so responsively. The Crankster avoids most snags. As you watch it, you’ll see the Crankster shoot way out to the side away from anything it hits, then quickly recovering and getting back on track. In especially troublesome spots, if it has no alternative but to come up and over the top of a snag, then it will roll over onto its back to do so. Watch and you’ll see the lure go belly up as it rolls over the obstruction. That swings the hooks on top of the lure momentarily until it comes through cleanly and arights itself again.

This unparalleled castability in a crankbait applies to overhead casts as well as underhand pitching of the Crankster into tight spots with precision accuracy. When pitching underhand within heavy cover situations, the dense tungsten bead rests in the very tail tip of the Crankster as it dangles below your rod tip. This makes it as easy to pitch and as accurate to place as a flipping jig.

There’s definitely a knack to ripping the rod tip and therefore the lure sharply the exact instant whenever you feel it bounce against anything. That gets it ricocheting off the junk before it has a chance to bog down in it. Practice makes perfect, but once you become adept at this tactic, you’ll be amazed how snagless the Crankster can be. It’s hard work to fish this way, but rewarding.

It’s this heavy bead inside that gives the Crankster its attractive rattle that can be heard for long distances underwater. With this dense bead bouncing off the walls inside the Crankster, the decibel level is off the charts. No other crankbait knocks quite like this. The extended lip design, a unique feature of SEBILE lures, edges the lip out away from the nose of the lure, and that helps the lure react instantly.

The brawny Crankster MR 65 may be used with heavier line and a heavier rod in the heaviest cover. The Crankster MR 55 is ideal to bounce around docks, pilings and more moderate cover. The Crankster MR 45 and 35 give you the same features, functions and benefits when using lighter gear in downsized fishing situations.

Flatt Shad 77 SU 3" / 77mm 1/2 oz / 15g Suspending 1 to 1-1/2 ft 8 to 20 lb

Among the many, probably hundreds of lipless crankbait variations on the market, only a rare few are suspending models and the only one of these we know that’s really devastatingly effective is the SEBILE Flatt Shad 77 SU suspending version. It suspends from 12" to 18" deep and does not swim deeper than that. right up to a likely spot, and then just stop it right where you think is best, right in front of the spot where you think a fish is waiting in ambush. That’s what the 77 SU is made for. When you let it suspend there, that truly antagonizes them. It’s not like something that’s swimming by, that’s passing through. It stops and stays right in front of their hiding spot. So it’s kind of like sitting there in their space, and they’re going to attack it for that reason. Just let it sit there, give it a twitch or jerk, and watch out! That’s a reaction strike you can really only get with the suspending Flatt Shad model.

The 77 SU is ideal for fishing shallow water or flats of any kind, over submerged weedbeds, underwater rocks and through the tops of flooded brush. Basically anywhere that sinking Flatt Shad models can’t easily be used in shallow water without getting stuck, that’s where the suspending model excels. Plus, when fish are hiding in thick, shallow cover where they are holed up waiting to ambush bait, you can work the 77 SU

No matter what size or species of gamefish you pursue, there is a sinking Flatt Shad SK model that’s perfect for any predator from the smallest to the largest, shallow or deep, in fresh or saltwater.

Normally however, in terms of action, you may use a steady retrieve or troll the Flatt Shad and it will attract many strikes simply because of the Flatt Shad’s vibration and swimming motion.

Note that the Flatt Shad works more off vibration than rattling noise. Yes, Flatt Shads do make an attractive rattling sound, but not as loud as most other brands of lipless rattling baits. The Flatt Shad’s pronounced vibration, however, is its advantage. It’s wide, flat sides push an awful lot of water rapidly to the right and left, leaving a strong trail of turbulence that fish sense and will detect from afar through the water.

But when fishing gets tough, predators of all kinds may react to or be triggered to strike more by irregular lure actions. A stop-and-go, a lift-and-fall, whipping, ripping, burning, switching the rod tip or speed-reeling and then suddenly pausing the Flat Shad SK may trigger more reaction strikes versus a straight, steady retrieve.

All Flatt Shad sizes will have action even when you go slow. The design concept includes a belly that is wider than the back. This causes big water turbulence on the sides and belly. That turbulence creates instability, which creates action. So you can go slow and can still have action. With any model or size of Flatt Shad, you can slow way, way down with the retrieve speed until you barely feel the lure throbbing in the rod handle - and there are days when finicky fish require the patient approach just described.

Also, since many gamefish often hold in deep water, the Flatt Shad SK is one of the few hardbaits that will sink and can continue to be effective (be vertically jigged) at depths of 20, 30, 40 feet deep (depending on model) using thin diameter braided line.This is well beyond the reach of most any hardbait on the market, except for super deep models of the SEBILE Koolie Minnow LL Long Lip series. And while many other brands of lipless crankbaits fail miserably and foul the line constantly in vertical jigging situations, the Flatt Shad SK series all work without fouling much in deep water appropriate to their size and weight.

Whether it’s the Sinking, Suspending or Snagless model, there's nothing ordinary about any member of the Flatt Shad family. Yet it’s the Extra Heavy version that's truly extraordinary. Of course you may fish the Flatt Shad Extra Heavy practically any way that you’d use a standard sinking Flatt Shad, so it will work the same way but deeper. When it is necessary to cast an extra long distance or it is difficult to cast against the wind, those are conditions that call for the Flatt Shad Extra Heavy too.

Another Flatt Shad Extra Heavy situation is to “walk” the lure down any sloping bottom whether it's a steep bluff, the tip or sides of a point, a submerged hump, graduallydeepening creek channel or any sloping shoreline or bottom.The shallowest part you want to fish is where the lure should land, and you can let the lure sink further or count it down at the very beginning of the cast until it gets to the depth you want to target. Then simply hold the rod tip up around ten o’clock and follow the lure's sinkage down with the rod tip, so the lure has a semi-loose line to develop falling action. When the rod tip gets close to the water, lift gently again to 10 o’clock and follow the lure’s descent back down until the rod tip nears the water again. Basically perform this lift-and-fall tactic for the entire retrieve, thereby following the contour of the sloping bottom back to you. When you lift it, it moves relatively quicker with more vibration and then it slows down, stops and starts to sink like it can’t continue any longer. Many hits will come on the falling portion as you follow the lure down with the rod tip.

What's especially unique about the XH is it’s one of the only hard plastic lures that is effective when casting to fish on or close to bottom in very deep water.The best tactic is often to cast out and wait for the Flatt Shad Extra Heavy to hit bottom. Then flick or jig it a few inches off the bottom. The Flatt Shad will continually pendulum closer toward you as it sinks. Let it make a series of contacts with the bottom, lifting it a few inches off the bottom each time. Very small flicks or draws of the rod tip - only a couple of inches - are all that’s needed to attract fish this way. Even though you may be moving it very little, very slowly, the Flatt Shad will have fish-attracting action. The design concept includes a belly that is wider than the back. This causes big water turbulence on the sides and belly. That turbulence creates instability, which creates action. So you can go slow, moving it only a few inches and still have action. As soon as you lift one, it will instantly start wobbling as long as there is even slight line pull to activate it.The Flatt Shad’s pronounced vibration at any speed from ultra slow to ultra fast is its unique advantage.

The Flatt Shad Snagless is one of SEBILE’s most innovate new fishing lure designs. It’s destined to go down in history as one of the greatest lipless crankbaits ever! It is far better at getting into and out of thick cover compared to most any other hardbait. The way the cleverly configured double hook catches fish, it is like using a flipping jig. Often both hook points are embedded deep in the roof of the mouth. It hooks fish solidly and holds them securely like using a jig hook - except it is a lipless crankbait.

custom-designed the exact hook for the job. By having the proper hook, what happens is when the Flatt Shad body switches to the right, both upward-facing points of the double hook will be lagging behind (to the left) because the hook just follows the body, always one beat behind it. On the next beat, when the body switches to the left, the double hook will swing to the right. So the hook will always lag one beat behind the body, thereby always protected from snags by the body. The body always takes the leading step, the double hook always takes the following step, and when the side of the body hits a branch, a stalk of grass or a rock, it deflects away before the hook swings to that side.That’s what makes the big difference for snagless fishing.

With the hookless feather tail, we dare say the Flatt Shad Snagless has a better swimming action than even the regular Flatt Shad with two treble hooks.Try it yourself and see if it isn’t true. But the biggest advantage lies in how the Flatt Shad Snagless will benefit shore anglers in fresh or saltwater. Shore fisherman run a higher risk of losing lures compared to boaters. So the Flatt Shad Snagless provides a very effective way to fish from shore, and it permits you to prospect all the underwater terrain from deep to shallow, in search of fish.You may hug or bounce the bottom a little more closely and penetrate tough cover more deeply with less risk of snagging than ever before.

It is also very important to be very snagless that we only use a hook on the belly of the lure. Having any hook on the tail really increases the number of snags without really increasing the number of fish hooked, plus that flickering hookless feather really adds to the allure.

Why the Flatt Shad Snagless works so well has to do with its side-to-side swimming action that causes its body to switch from right to left rapidly even on a slow retrieve. The sideswitching body is constantly in a position where it can deflect something like a branch, a stalk of grass or even a rock. So that rapid series of deflective movements shields the whole bait and especially the double hook from snagging against any obstacles that the lure may hit or encounter.

Also, something that people may be surprised to hear is that when you have a regular lure with two treble hooks, that means the lure has six hook points and at the moment of a strike, when you set the hook, then all the pressure you put on the line to set those hooks has to be divided between those six points so you may have a lower quality or poorer hookset and that is why a jig head for example is very efficient, since all the power goes on that single hook. So having just two hook points on the Flatt Shad Snagless instead of six is really very efficient and hooks fish very well.

The second design feature that makes the Flatt Shad Snagless possible is that only a double hook with a lot of freedom of movement will work here. If it is a standard double hook that is too stiff or too short and doesn’t have enough freedom to lag behind the body, there will be a lot of snags and also, missed strikes. Ample freedom or “play” is needed to really be efficient at hooking fish and also the right dimensions of every hook proportion must be perfect which is why SEBILE

No lure is easier to use if fish are actively chasing prey, simply keep the rod tip down and reel in without moving the rod. It makes the lure look like a fleeing baitfish, mouse or frog and predators smash it!

The fantastic Ghost Walker combines very good castability with a very easy ability to walk the dog across the surface with great agility and little effort by the angler. With a wide gliding trek, the Ghost Walker moves fluidly while leaving a boisterous wake in its path. Just small movements of the rod tip are all that's required to make the Ghost Walker skate from side to side as it turns on its wide, flat belly surface. Viewed by fish from below, the lure’s broad body offers a bold strike target accentuated by multiple flashes of light dispersing from its sides and underbelly.

The complex, curved design of the body and head is quite unusual, and that’s a big part of the reason why the Ghost Walker has such unique action even when reeled straight. It makes waves in front of its head, like a boat and the dip at midbody and rise of the tail also create unique turbulences coming off every part of the body from head to tail. This powerful trail of turbulence leaves a charged path of energy behind the lure to lead predators right to the target, even on the darkest night.

The ability to walk the Ghost Walker works best under calm conditions, benefiting from its longcasting ease and subtle splash on landing. Due to the extreme casting distance of the Ghost Walker, it is best to work the lure with the rod tip high during early retrieve and then lowering the rod tip to complete the retrieve as it nears the boat.

It’s recommended to use the Ghost Walker this way whenever powerfishing in order to cover long distances quickly while searching to find areas holding fish. The 95 model is a standard lure, but the 110 comes in a reinforced “Full Wire” version, allowing you to target bigger, stronger fish while using heavier line and tackle. This makes the 110 perfect to cast into the densest brush, mangrove tangles and between jetty rocks and dock pilings, all places where big brutes live and a lot of rod and line pressure is necessary to maneuver them out into open water.

A second tactic and action possible with the Ghost Walker is to simply reel it in steadily with the rod held down so it slides on the water creating a big, boisterous "V" wake as if it is a frog, mouse, baitfish or other aquatic critter swimming across the surface. Very simple yet very effective under any conditions from flat calm to breezy, choppy situations. That simple action can be a killer and one that outperforms many conventional retrieves!

To fish over submerged grass or in the tops of emergent trees or brush, just reel steadily without jerking, and the SL model will have great action while staying one foot deep. If you twitch or jerk, it will dive 2-3 feet and suspends. Due to its smaller lip, the SL presents a weakened, less active, injured or hurt

action. An SL has a narrower (not less) tail swing as if a struggling baitfish that is somehow hampered in its ability to swim normally. It’s a good idea to work the Koolie SL in a way that maximizes the effect of its feeble, struggling motions when twitched and paused.

The Floating (FL) ML models dig down from 2-10 feet depending on model. An ML presents a more robust, healthy baitfish swimming action compared to the distressed action of an SL. You may use longer, sharper pulls of the rod and faster reeling to produce action that's more like a baitfish shooting around in short bursts, keeping one step ahead of predators, or one that is flitting along, stopping to feed or look around before continuing on its way. MLs emit a nice vibration that can be felt in the rod tip.You can cover a lot of water quickly with the ML to

attract active, aggressive fish. So think of it as the power fishing Koolie version. Also comes in Sinking (SK) models that can be used the same as the Floating MLs except the SKs work a little deeper, have a little wider sweep to their tails, and sink slowly when paused.

The Big Round Lip (BRL) is a favorite of almost every angler who has tried one. It rolls side to side, generating a zigzag action that's terribly exciting to predators and draws fish from great depths and distances. The BRL runs both deeper and shallower than SL and ML models. How can that be? If you reel slowly, the BRL will descend 5-10 feet deep, depending on model. Reel quicker and the BRL rises higher up, becoming increasingly more

frantic with an ultra-wide roll, even splashing enticingly on top at the fastest retrieve possible. The BRL is one incredible lure you won't find anywhere else, and it catches fish when nothing else does. 21

Koolie Minnow Long Lips are buoyant, deep-diving minnows with wiggling, rolling actions. The design of the strong, bridge-reinforced lip allows a steep dive and an easy retrieve in comparison to other baits of its kind. They may be swam steadily or jerked responsively and they rise free of snags whenever paused. In fact, several aspects of their construction are designed to let Koolies dive deep into snaggy areas without getting stuck. With a full size range, there is truly a Koolie Minnow LL size suited to catch any deep-dwelling predator on the planet, from the biggest to the smallest. “On light, medium or heavy tackle, in salt or freshwater, the Koolie Long Lip series is my favorite choice when I want to fish deep water, either casting or deep trolling. Particularly when you have a tidal current or in a freshwater river, the Koolie Long Lip is as easy to use as simply casting it 90 degrees straight out, and let the current work the bait down and around, almost without reeling. Very simple, but oh so very effective,” says Patrick Sebile. “What I like very much with the Koolie LL is that this bait goes really deep for its size without pulling heavily on the rod tip,” says Patrick Sebile. “Less water resistance means less pulsation from the lure felt in the rod tip. Due to its unique bridged lip design, there is less feel of the lure throb, and that also increases the angler’s sensitivity to anything - a short strike, grass or debris on the hook, contact with bottom or cover - all are easier to detect since the lip resistance itself is not the overpowering sensation. So you can more easily detect short strikes, bottom, cover, debris and react quicker to whatever you feel making contact with the lure.” Other long-billed minnows do not cast very well because that long lip which causes water resistance to make it dive deeper, it also causes air resistance to make it fall short when cast. No doubt every angler may have experienced this distancerobbing effect with other long-billed baits. Not so with the Koolie LL, thanks to the gap or space between the lure’s nose and the lip, there is less air turbulence created around the lip –

which is the reason why the Koolie LL sails so impressively smooth and far on a cast. Ocean, surf and bay anglers favor the Koolie Minnow LL for Japan’s sea bass. In Russia, trolling is the most popular way to use the Koolie LL. In Europe, the most popular way is casting with a steady retrieve just like you’d use a crankbait although at times using sudden, short pauses and/or twitches is the ticket. In North America, savvy anglers prefer to retrieve minnow baits like the Koolie LL with sharp jerks and frequent pauses. The Koolie Minnow excels when used this way as a jerkbait. The Koolie LL is buoyant so that it will rise when the retrieve is paused. This makes the Koolie LL an excellent choice to work through deep wood, rock beds, brush, grass or any kind of bottom debris. When paused, it will rise, and that lets it float up and away from any obstacles it may have encountered down there. In comparison, the popular variety of suspending jerkbaits can’t back out of snags (they only get deeper into trouble) due to their non-rising nature. Also, as a paused Koolie LL rises into the open water just above snaggy cover, that moment is a high percentage strike point. It becomes visible and vulnerable to attack as its sudden emergence triggers predators to strike quickly before the prey can dart back down into the relative safety and concealment of the bottom cover again. To sum up, the Koolie LL has a wiggling, rolling action, and dives deeper than other minnow baits of comparable size. It catches fish just like a crankbait when used with a steady retrieve. Also superb to use as a jerkbait with a cadence of jerks and pauses. It may be trolled or strummed in a current. Best of all, it floats up and out of snags, making it a great choice to swim right through thick underwater cover where other lures such as suspending jerkbaits cannot easily be used without snagging them.

Magic Swimmer SEBILE’s most famous lure model, the Magic Swimmer is a revolutionary design that undulates it’s jointed body in a very natural way that’s irresistible to predators.

your rod tip up. You will also want to try twitching, jerking and ripping these responsive swimbaits. The Fast-Sinking has superb swimming action on the retrieve as well. What's incredible is that the FSK swims on the fall, without the angler having to do anything to get this great swimming action on the fall.

In spring 2008, SEBILE pros Todd Faircloth and Kenyon Hill both used it to help them win Bassmaster Elite events. Todd won at Lake Amistad, Texas and Kenyon at Clarks Hill Lake, Georgia. At the same time, a massive 17 lb. lake record largemouth was landed in Japan by angler Hidetaka Nakajima, getting press worldwide for the Magic Swimmer.

The Fast-Sinking can be worked much deeper and if you fish where there is current or waves, you may favor the FastSinking for fast or turbulent water.

Today, the Magic Swimmer is very popular with anglers everywhere and for every species in fresh or saltwater. Available in hard and soft versions, the Magic Swimmer does not have a lip like other hard baits, nor does the Magic Swimmer Soft have a paddle tail to make it swim. So what makes it swim so magically you ask?

The Magic Swimmer Soft moves through the water with the same realistic swimming motion as its hard counterparts, and the Soft comes in sizes for even the biggest predators! The best mindset for using them is to treat each model and size of Magic Swimmer a little differently. They are similar yet each has its own subtle 228 actions and they are all great.They are all well worth learning how to use them.

It is all about the tapered nose and humpbacked head which slices the water, making turbulence first on one side, then the other. Once turbulence starts rolling down the sides, it won't stop undulating like a living fish. All models are very stable swimmers whether trolled or cast. They just keep on swimming with that magic action no matter what. The Slow-Sinking swims great when reeled or trolled at any speed from ultra-slow to super fast. Anglers like using them with steady, straight retrieves; and the Slow-Sinking tends to stay a few feet below the surface. It's also popular to “burn” the SSK by reeling fast so it rises to the top like a fleeing baitfish. Increase your reeling pace with your rod 110 tip down, and the bait will wake the surface, or 95 you may wake one slowly by 82 holding

The Magic Swimmer Soft is a jointed soft plastic bait that swims as good as the original Magic Swimmer hardbait, PLUS it can be rigged weedless. Intricate details and realistic swimming action bring the lure to life. The body has an “envelope” area molded in with an opening at the belly that receives and conceals most of the offset hook inside the bait, requiring the hook go only through a small section of plastic in the upper back portion for enhanced fishhooking efficiency. Rigging is easy because “hook holes” are molded in for entry at the nose and exit in the back. To rig weedless, conceal the hook’s point in the recessed groove in the top of the lure’s back. Use with the SEBILE Soft Weight System for easy addition and removal of weight. The Magic Swimmer Soft can also be fished weightless and casts easily and far by its own density. The lure can be rigged with a variety of hooks and jig heads and be fished many different ways in fresh or saltwater. The lure is great for skipping under docks, mangrove roots and other overhanging obstacles.

What is the number one action that fish go for? It’s a falling action, and the Magic Swimmer Fast Sinking (FSK) has it! As a result of its unique and heavy balance, the FSK will swim magically while sinking without reeling. This gives you something totally new and unique, as you can use the Magic Swimmer FSK with a regular, steady reeling and it’ll swim amazingly lifelike but you can also stop reeling to let it wriggle and undulate beautifully on the fall! The angler needs to do nothing to get this action. It’s designed to happen automatically. As it swims as it falls, it creates all its own underwater signals to attract predators, and therein lies its benefit to you! You will be amazed by the effectiveness of this bait with such little movement required by the angler! Even fast-hunting predators are used to finding dying prey; they are a delicacy to them as well as an easy meal — and so is your Magic Swimmer FSK as it falls with built-in swimming action. But don’t limit yourself to what you can do with it either, because you can use it with many different speed retrieves

and various angler-imparted rod actions. There’s no right or wrong way to use one, yet always remember that you can count on the Magic Swimmer FSK to do its job when it falls, as that’s often when many strikes happen. Simply, this lure works for you and catches many fish for you if you let it fall a few times during your retrieve. The fast sinkers are long distance casters too, thanks to their heavier body weights. You can drill one out there, even in the wind. Also because they are heavier and have more stability, you get better control in current and waves.

The Magic Swimmer’s unique and natural action sets this superstar apart from all other lures. The thin baitfish body is jointed in three parts to ripple together in rhythmic swimming motion as artificial imitates perfection to make this impostor appear to be the real thing. Swim the lure slow or fast, at your discretion, as allowed by the Magic Swimmer’s perfect balance. Its natural swimming action even during steady retrieves is just too much for most gamefish to resist and is equally effective when cast or trolled by any means. It is available in sizes and models for all gamefish from the biggest to the smallest, in fresh or saltwater. “Okay now, let me share one of my favorite ways to use the Magic Swimmer Slow Sinking, which is to use it is as a slow sinking twitchbait where you let it sink as you twitch it with little downward twitches of the rod tip. Only twitch a few inches, and it will flip and flop in semi-circles and can easily do an about-

face 180 degree turn-around when you lightly twitch it. Each twitch of the rod propels the Magic Swimmer into an erratic lunge that signals predators it is weak and vulnerable prey,” says Patrick Sebile. That sinking, twitching tactic is the strategic advantage that only the Magic Swimmer has — and what it was designed to do. One of the keys to this action is to twitch it, and then instantly push the rod tip back toward the lure so the lure may complete its irresistible darting, lunging, swerving movement on a slack, not tight line.That’s just one of the many ways to catch more fish with the legendary Magic Swimmer! 27

A fluid, natural appearance, its mesmerizing undulation and multi-chambered hard plastic body filled with noisy rattle beads distinguish the SEBILE Onduspoon from all the rest. In fact, it is difficult to speak of the sleek and stylish Onduspoon in the same sentence as other spoons.This creation is so modern and unique that there is no spoon like it to compare it against.

Now that we’ve covered the Onduspoon’s advanced technical features, its most extraordinary benefit is simply its breathtakingly realistic undulation. It has amazing life-like swimming motion at any speed. The bait’s undulations are soft and natural to realistically resemble movements of prey when moved forward at slow to medium speeds. It maintains an even keel, meaning it will roll up and swing wide from side-toside but never fully loops or twists the line at normal speeds.

The Onduspoon is a hard plastic, noisy chattering spoon cleverly designed not to twist your line even when you burn it back or troll it. That’s right — the Onduspoon’s exceptional internal balance makes it immune to line twist. The Onduspoon is heavy, so you can cast it as far as a lure can go. But don’t let its heavy, thick body fool you. The hard plastic body is hollow inside so when it hits the water, the Onduspoon’s horizontal descent is enticingly slow to make it linger in the strike zone longer. Simply let it sink until it reaches your target level. Then start reeling and the lure will remain at that depth during the retrieve.

At high speeds, it moves in a frantic, fluttering, scrambling panic to flee from predators that chase and smack at it. The frantically fleeing Onduspoon does loop in full circles trying to escape, but what’s amazing is it will spin three to seven times clockwise, then reverse direction to spin three to seven times counterclockwise. So it is twisting the line one way, then untwisting it the other way — every time! It’s the most amazing spoon you’ll ever own.

The Onduspoon contains a unique sequence of rattle chambers inside. A precise ratio of beads inside each chamber contribute to the balance and action. They also provide nonstop fish attracting noise and vibration.This lure is as noisy as any you have ever heard!

Now you know why we find it hard to speak of other spoons because none can compare to the Onduspoon. It’s at home when slow-rolled across the top of shallow grass, twitch it into open pockets, or when counted down to any depth, when danced with artful rod action or gyrating wildly behind a downrigger, flasher, dodger or any trolling device. Use it any way for any predator fish that can’t resist the mesmerizing action of SEBILE’s Onduspoon.

For balance, the Onduspoon includes a fixed weight in its forward section. This enables the angler to impart some interesting actions. You can work the highly-responsive Onduspoon like a jerkbait, you can walk the dog with it, twitch it, skitter it on the surface and do many things that few if any other spoon can do.

Spinnerbait Trophy Line Test

Sinking 6" to 8 ft 12 to 30 lb

Pro-Shad Spinnerbait Trophy 1-3/8 oz / 38g Sinking 1 to 10 ft 16 to 40 lb

The SEBILE Pro-Shad Spinnerbait is the result of combining years of fishing experience and research with innovative thinking. It comes in two series - Trophy and Finesse. One big thing which is common between the two is that the blade or blades are not directly on the same wire that stems from the head of the spinnerbait. On a standard spinnerbait, a single fixed piece of wire usually looms more or less over the hook point, meaning that a fish that engulfs the entire lure may not always get hooked because the upper arm may block or prevent the hookset. In comparison, both models of the Pro-Shad Spinnerbait have their blades mounted on an independent piece of wire which has a junctured link to the main wire. This means that if a fish engulfs the wire along with the bait now, it is designed to move out of the way and there is nothing to foul up a good hookset every time!

experiment trying to catch anything on a spinnerbait with the blades removed or with the blades so they can’t turn, and you’ll see it’s true when we say "blades make the spinnerbait" and the more freedom with which the blades turn, the more fish you’ll entice. That’s why Patrick Sebile dedicated much time and effort to design the perfect SEBILE Pro-Shad Blade which is wide in front and narrow in the back, allowing the blade to work under any speed, from ultra slow to ultra fast, with a fair resistance but lots of turbulences, and it gives a very realistic lifelike flash and silhouette to the lure. But that’s not all. The junctured arm then gives the maximum - almost 360 degree freedom for the spinning blades to follow perfectly every angle of the retrieve or on the fall.

Another benefit of the junctured arm is its freedom of movement will always let the blades operate at the right angle and the right position to keep spinning all the time. That is a very important and key design goal to always have constant swimming action from the blades. After all, the blades are the most important part of a spinnerbait. If you don’t believe it,

Pro-Shad Spinnerbait Trophy Whereas the Finesse model has two blades on its arm, you will immediately notice that the Pro-Shad Spinnerbait Trophy model only has one blade and what’s very unique is that behind the blade there is a skirt that is moved by the turbulences that the spinning blade creates and that in turn gives the skirt a spiraling movement too.The skirt acts in swirling motions giving the illusion of extra volume to make big fish think this is a substantial prey! But the extra volume isn’t entirely an illusion either. The spiraling skirt pushes a HUGE volume of water in every direction, creating a monstrous trail of turbulence that works as well on the retrieve as on the drop. If you use some kind of yo-yo or reeling slower/faster or even on a dead drop, the skirt spirals and emits a ton of turbulence no matter how you use the Pro-Shad Spinnerbait Trophy! Some people may wonder if fish will try to hit the blade and skirt behind it, since it is a bulky target, but the Trophy model is really a big lure dedicated to catching big fish and those trophies usually only have one goal in mind - which is to swallow the whole thing!

The body is made of bismuth encased within hard plastic. That permits the body to have the most realistic finishes with lifelike details such as scales, eyes and gill flaps that rival any crankbait. Uniquely designed with a wide-gap for an increased hookset ratio and better holding power, the high-quality black nickel hook has a super hard sharpened point. The design of this special wide gap is to really increase the distance behind the upper lip where the hook sets when a fish bites. Especially when a large fish swallows the whole thing, this wide gap is what you want (compared to traditional round bend spinnerbait hooks). SEBILE’s offset wide gap hook is superior first for the hookset further behind the lip, and second to hold better during a fish’s head-shaking fight.

whole lure will have a lower center of gravity giving it first, more stability to fish even shallower and second, it increases the deflection that the main wire gives in front of the lure, pushing it off of and away from grass or brush better,” says Patrick Sebile.

The Pro-Shad Spinnerbait’s perfect balance, custom blades and jointed arm make it easy to reel.The high tensile steel wire selected permits the angler to fine tune lure action.

“Now if you wish to fish more open water and make longer distance casts, what I recommend is to lower the position of the wire to reduce the angle between the longest and the shortest piece of wire. This on-the-water adjustability is something that is made possible by the choice of the steel wire but also because we have the junctured arm where the blades spin. If you had a fully fixed blade wire (like a standard spinnerbait) and you were able to adjust that for different conditions, it’s no guarantee the blades will be able to work under any given angle but in the Pro-Shad Spinnerbait’s case, yes it will work absolutely all the time,” says Patrick.

“The wire that comes out from the nose, I choose to make it using a specific steel that you may bend to adjust the wire to different angles for different conditions. For example, if you want to fish shallow in grass or brush, then bend the longest piece of the wire up and also open the angle between it and the smaller piece of wire. Doing that, you raise the level where the lure is tied to the line - the pull point - and that means the

Pro-Shad Spinnerbait Finesse The Pro-Shad Spinnerbait Finesse body and blades are made to look alike. Thanks to their similar shape and finishes, the body and blades truly appear as a small school of baitfish. The larger front blade is mounted on the wire with a custom-designed, specific clevis of a big diameter to give the blade more eccentricity from the axle of rotation for more reactivity and to move a lot of water without pulling hard on the rod. The smaller back blade is mounted with a ball bearing swivel for 360 degrees of independent freedom from the arm. Both blades turn as soon as they hit the water. Use breaks in the retrieve, let it free fall, and both blades still turn.There’s never down time when one blade’s not working. Its stable balance also permits the angler to burn it fast. Both blades constantly create lots of turbulence and extremely realistic baitfish flashes and silhouettes at any speed from ultra slow to super fast. The Finesse model has infinite grace and agility to convince lure-smart fish to bite. It will fool even the most wary, educated fishes with its small fish-shaped blades and realistic body finishes.Yet it has the guts for hard core powerfishing tactics too!

Line Test

Proppler Buzz #2 3" / 80mm 7/8 oz / 25g Floating Wake to 3" 20 to 65 lb

An advantage over standard buzzbaits is that the Proppler floats when paused. It can be paused adjacent to cover and ripped hard to make a huge tear on the surface. Be prepared for the most explosive strikes of all when you rip it this way and then let it sit still. There’s often a delay of several seconds before a fish will absolutely annihilate the Proppler. So don’t be in a rush.The wait is well worth what happens next!

The Proppler Buzz is at its best in the thickest cover and surface clutter that any lure will ever face. It crawls across piles of flotsam and jetsam, climbs over brush and finds its way through densely-choked lily pad fields. It seems that nothing can stop it. It features a floating, hollow body that churns the water as it spins and splashes PLUS it is filled with raucous rattles that demand attention. Cast the Proppler into impossibly heavy cover and retrieve so it comes across any small pockets or open patches.Those are the high percentage strike spots.You can expect the Proppler to get plowed right at the very edge of any opening on its way into and out of any little open areas.

Also work the floating Proppler Buzz as if a plastic frog, with alternating pauses and small twitches of the rod tip. The skirt pulses with life and puts the poor Proppler in danger of being engulfed in a huge and ferocious splash! Add the SEBILE Dressed Trailer Hook if you experience missed bites. It not only adds a wide gap hook but more volume and action thanks to the trailer having its own skirt.

It does not always stay on the surface, but can be made to bulge barely below the surface. It will also descend a few inches below the surface and propel along deep enough so it doesn’t leave any surface disturbance at all. The angle you hold the rod plus retrieve speed are controlling factors as to the Proppler’s depth level. Fish belt it any way - waking, bulging or subsurface - although they tend to strike the subsurface presentation more consistently under a wider variety of conditions. Black Silver Eyes

SEBILE brings innovation to anglers in every way we can help your fishing, including the Dressed Trailer Hook. With a wider gap than a normal trailer hook, it holds better in the fish’s mouth.The point sits at a level slightly above the primary lure’s hook point. Strong and super sharp, the hard black nickel finish is durable and corrosion-resistant in both fresh and saltwater. By adding a skirt to the trailer hook, it makes the lure’s visual volume bigger to increase the action and apparent size of the bait to the fish. The Dressed Trailer Hook is the perfect addition to spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and jigs. Especially recommended with the Proppler Buzz, Pro-Shad Spinnerbait, D&S Crank and to replace the treble hook on the Onduspoon to limit snags in shallow areas.

SEBILE’s award-winning Spin Shad is a very versatile lure that can catch almost anything that swims in fresh or saltwater. It gives you a wide range of performance that very few other baits possess.There are not that many baits you can burn, you can have a medium speed retrieve, go slow, even bottombouncing or yo-yo it.You can fish one foot under the surface or extremely deep. To give you a feel for just how deep, the Spin Shad #1 is only 3/4 oz but can be slowly bottom-bounced down to 60 feet deep.With the 1-1/4 oz Spin Shad #2, you can vertical fish 120 to 150 feet deep with thin diameter line.

The blade will not pull hard against the rod either. This lack of water pressure makes the Spin Shad effective at any speed or any depth no matter how you work it. You are able to fish the Spin Shad from a foot or two below the surface to very deep. Simply let the Spin Shad sink to your target level and since the blade doesn’t pull hard against your rod, the Spin Shad will stay at whatever level you wish to retrieve it in the water column. Naturally, you should reel a little faster to maintain a level high in the water column, reel at a moderate speed to keep the Spin Shad at mid-depths, and reel slowly to keep the Spin Shad deep for the entire retrieve.

The Spin Shad is made of heavy bismuth metal encased inside a fish-shaped hard plastic body adorned with the lifelike details and realistic color finishes of a small crankbait.

The Spin Shad’s heavy body has a wider belly than its back, and that wide belly also helps to stabilize the Spin Shad at any depth you retrieve it. So the body has a low center of gravity that helps keep the bait running at your targeted depth in the water column.

Yet it’s the matching blade that makes the Spin Shad absolutely irresistible. Resembling a pair of small baitfish, the blade and the body are a conjunction of two lures in one. The flashing blade follows the body wherever it goes, presenting the schooling action of two baits together.

Go ahead and fish the Spin Shad in brush, reeds, tree roots, rocks or tough grass. The head is wedge-shaped to push through cover and the wide belly is designed to protect the upper two hook points behind the wide front part of the head. You may even clip the lower point off the treble hook and it will be amazingly snagless now. Most days, there’s no difference you’ll be able to tell in fish caught or hits missed using this hook modification.You’ll be hooking fish and snagging less!

The powerful blade also rocks and vibrates the entire body. So both the body and tail shudder enticingly. As soon as it hits the water, the blade starts spinning and keeps spinning no matter what. Whether on the drop, on the way up, on the way down, on a horizontal retrieve, while vertical jigging or twitching it, you almost never break the action of the blade. If the Spin Shad is moving by any means, the blade will spin and emit attractive turbulence, flashes and vibration to draw fish to the bait. It is constantly working to attract fish for you.

Other days, when fish are hitting short, you may move the treble hook from underneath the belly to the split ring that holds the blade. Rigged so the treble lies on the inner or cupped side, the blade serves as a protective shield to help keep the tail treble away from snags. Adding a treble has little effect on the blade’s rotation, and you’ll catch many short strikers this way.

Slender Eel 108 SU 4-1/4" / 108mm 1/4 oz / 7.5g Slender Eel 126 SU 5" / 126mm

Suspending 2 to 3 ft

1/2 oz / 13.3g Suspending 2 to 3 ft

8 to 20 lb

The Slender Eel swims with a wide swaggering sweep of its tail and suspends underwater with a nose down posture when paused. When twitched, jerked or ripped, it really comes to life with an erratic action!

One of the most reliable ways to use the Slender Eel is to cast out, wait a spell, twitch it 3 or 4 times, and reel it in 10-12 feet. Let it stop, jerk it 3 or 4 times again.The Slender Eel will dart and shoot out suddenly to one side or the other when you jerk or twitch it. Depending how you do that, it may either act like a slow-moving, disoriented prey or like a panicked baitfish bolting. Wait a spell and then reel it in 10-12 more feet. Just keep repeating those simple steps. For some reason, the fish mostly hit in the intervals it is paused and suspends motionless. They hit less often during the time it is being reeled in.

Used by those who target spooky or highly-pressured fish particularly in clear water, in both fresh and salt, the Slender Eel is ideal for sight fishing for individual fish or for spotting cautious schools at a distance and then presenting the Slender Eel without alarming them. Maintaining a comfortable distance from the quarry is often necessary under such conditions, and the Slender Eel is aerodynamically designed to go the distance and to let you place it accurately and quietly where you want it.

Beyond that simple explanation, there are infinite variations that make fishing the Slender Eel a true art.

This suspending lure is most effective when worked with lots of pauses which means fish will eyeball it closely before striking, so it better look good! The face shows astonishing detail and the diving lip is unobtrusive; almost anatomically correct.The angled shape of head, neck and body help to achieve the balance and create the actions of the Slender Eel.

There's no right or wrong way to use it. Generally speaking, with more active fish, you can jerk harder and work faster with shorter pauses. Slower speeds, much longer pauses and softer rod movements usually coincide with less active fish or colder water temperatures. In any case, the correct dart or jerk sequence needs to be discovered and done just right, but remember that is only the attraction. The hit is almost always gotten on the pause. It’s a masterful angler who’s able to use the Slender Eel’s built-in wiggle and the sudden darting jerk of the rod tip to excite and attract, then using the perfectly suspended pause that gets the strike!

The unique flattened tail of the Slender Eel gives it a planing surface so it swings widely side to side with little water resistance as it quickly and easily pivots on its center of balance, making its movements truly irresistible to predators. It can pivot as much as 180° when you jerk it. The flat tail is also the easiest shape for a fish to engulf, so fish get hooked securely, and few fish are lost.

The Rattsler is a flat-sided crankbait having a thin, compressed body but comparatively tall side profile. Truly the Rattsler’s body shape and profile appears much more naturallooking and lifelike than many other crankbaits. Its huge side surfaces forcefully push water out and away, creating a rippling trail of strong turbulence which is the most important signal that predator fish follow with their lateral lines in order to track and hunt moving prey. The lure’s swimming movement can be considered tight and frantic. There is a lot of side-to-side full body flipping and flashing as the Rattsler paddles along, vigorously pushing a lot of water out to the sides in the process. All Rattslers come with a superior designed mass transfer system. Most of the weight goes to the tail for long distance casting, and the weights return to the mid-belly where the heavy beads are baffled in a rattle chamber in order to produce a fish-calling chatter and swimming action. The chattering sound made by a swimming Rattsler is designed to reproduce the collective sounds of a swimming shad school, a natural noise that’s known to put predators in an excited feeding mood.

The Small Lip (SL) model is designed to be the perfect choice for shallow areas, boat and wade fishing the flats, and also to fish around and above any submerged structure. Use it confidently around weed flats, flooded brush, mangrove roots or any form of shallow, emergent cover. The Small Lip is also deadly for fish busting bait early in the morning or anytime fish are feeding on or near the surface. The Medium Lip (ML) is voted most likely to be the Rattsler model you have tied on a rod most of the time. It’s not too deep nor too shallow a runner. It's just right at modest mid-depth levels where most crankbait fishing gets done. The Medium Lip is designed for covering open water and mid-shallow zones. It's a great choice around any type of man-made or vertical structure that has a modest depth to it, such as docks, boathouses, marinas, canal walls, bridge pilings, riprap, wingdams or what have you. The ML is the medium running Rattsler especially designed to meet your cranking needs under the widest possible range of conditions and situations faced in fresh or saltwater.

The Rattsler Very Long Lip (VLL) is for casting or trolling in fresh or inshore saltwater. It can be used with a variety of trolling gear, weights or devices designed to extend the lure's natural trolling depth.

faced with sparkling clear water conditions, the 65 VLL is superb.

VLL's are great for throwing good long casts too. The smaller 65 VLL is especially effective around the outside edges of deeper grass beds.With its smaller, thinner body and hooks that are small (to avoid snagging) but strong, you can burn and rip the 65 VLL through grass, reeling rapidly to provoke instinctive reaction strikes. Try to make bottom contact if possible or just barely tick the outside edges of the grass. What you want to do is crank it down until you bump the bottom and if it's grass, just kind of jerk it out of there and get that reaction strike that typically happens as it pops free.

The larger 85 VLL gets down even deeper.The 85 VLL will bog down in weeds, so it’s harder to rip it out. It is a comparatively slow-riser. So it won’t float up out of wood or brush as easily. Nevertheless there are days when fish want that 85 VLL cranked right along deep grass edges or coming past deep flooded brush, so you need to “snake” or “worm” the 85 VLL through cover to make it work.You may see now that although the 85 VLL and 65 VLL look similar (except for size), there are key differences in how best to use them. The fact it is a slow-riser when paused, that it tends to stay down at the level it’s at, makes the 85 VLL a stellar crank for bottom-bouncing relatively open water structure like ledges, humps, points, ridges, drop-offs, etc. There are days when many strikes happen during little lingering pauses or hesitations you make in the action after the 85 VLL stutters or skitters across high spots on deep structure.

The 65 VLL can wiggle its tail through submerged tree tops and deep brush beds that would snag bulkier lures with bigger hooks.When it does get hung in wood or brush, you can’t really rip it out like in grass. However, the 65 VLL is a fast-riser so it may float up quickly when you pause it, often rising free of whatever had been impeding its forward progress. In the above kinds of situations, the small 65 VLL is quite capable of landing big fish when used with medium strength line and rods necessary to handle big fish in thick grass or other kinds of cover.

Whenever you detect that the 85 VLL has hit a high spot, a rock or raised obstruction on bottom, get ready for action! The 85 VLL reacts by canting over on its flat side as its long bill taptap-taps its way sideways, skittering toward the side edge of the obstruction. Many times it may never make it off the edge, however. The instant before it does, a greedy predator may decide it's the perfect time and place to pummel it!

The 65 VLL is also suited for light tackle in open water. It is ideal for trolling or casting on small waters, for smaller gamefish, for spooky fish that refuse larger lures or when

Along with its walking action, the Slim Stick has a big tungsten bead that hits a partition wall inside and makes a loud knocking, almost popping noise. The 98’s knock seems loudest since its smaller body is just not going to churn up the same volume of water commotion as the other sizes. So you really hear the 98’s click the loudest. The 98 will click its way across the surface in a slippery, squiggly action unlike anything you may have seen or heard before, knocking itself silly with each zig or zag.This noise almost sounds like it’s being made by a dish-faced popper, but without a popper’s big splash or spit. The 118's knock or “pop” is also quite noticeable. The big, powerful 138 drowns out some of the sound of its internal knocker by how much turmoil its large body makes agitating the water, but if trophy fish are what you crave, the Slim Stick 138 is the size for you.

The Slim Stick is as thin and curvy as the Bonga Minnow is short and fat. The slender yet sturdy and distinctly styled Slim Stick comes in three sizes to cover light, medium and heavy fishing situations. All three sizes walk the dog with ease and precision. Choose the size which best matches your tackle and size fish you are after. Generally, bigger fish fall for bigger lures, but don’t forget that sometimes the biggest fish jump on smaller lures too! At first glance, you may think (mistakenly) that the curved body is not very aerodynamic. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, the Slim Stick is a super long distance casting champion!

The Slim Stick is designed for flat or lightly rippled water conditions. If waves or a surface chop gets stronger, try a Bonga Minnow or the Ghost Walker instead.

With the thin body of the Slim Stick, when a fish bites it is easily swallowed - so fish get hooked securely and few fish are lost.

The Slim Stick is so expertly balanced that even on the end of a long cast, it usually only takes one rod tip bounce to start a walking cadence and an instant rhythm of fluid zigzag motion skating across the surface. You can slow way down or speed up the walking steps without losing the side-to-side cadence at any speed. Use very gentle, short, easy rod movements to keep the Slim Stick performing perfectly in its precise sidestepping fashion.

Full Wire Reinforced. Also comes in Foam Filled Salt & Sun series.

Work the Splasher a little more aggressively, and it can imitate the struggling, twisting, turning, distressed movements of a vulnerable critter flailing furiously on the surface. It's not the smooth, predictable, mechanical action like most other lures have. Due to the unique compound curves of the Splasher’s body, it mimics the panicked, struggling throes of a creature in serious trouble.

The Splasher combines the actions of three conventional topwater types - poppers, chuggers and walkers in one. The Splasher has a huge, deep bowl of a mouth, a blaring trumpetshaped head, a water-slicing “Power Keel” and a flattened belly in order to skate and pivot more easily on the surface. Although the head is large, the tail is thin and flat — the best shape for a fish to engulf it and get hooked securely.

If you want to create a zig-zaggy walk the dog action, that’s easy to do with the Splasher too. The proprietary “Power Keel” is the secret why the Splasher will walk the dog perfectly when you use a constant cadence of short, sharp rod twitches with a slow retrieve.

All Splasher sizes can be cast a tremendous distance and can throw a huge splash for their size. When it sits in the water, the head is raised so only 30% of it’s mouth is in water. The other 70% of the flared cup is above the surface where it can eject huge mouthfuls of water. It has the possibility to make a giant, drenching splash if you want to let distant or deep fish know, “Hey, look at me. I am over here! Now come get me!”

The Splasher 120 and 152 are “Full Wire” reinforced. One single piece of heavy stainless wire runs from the front eye to the tail eye along the belly, forming the belly hook hanger too.

Using gentler rod actions, the Splasher can mimic a creature that’s leisurely swimming and feeding on the surface, producing a more subtle splashing, spitting or bubbling noise that arouses predatorial interest.

Stick Shadd “These are the ones I would keep if I could only have one lure type in my tackle box!” says Patrick Sebile. “The Stick Shadd can really be a huge asset in many situations.You just have to try it and of course to learn it, and then I really think you can fall in love with it.” The Floating works just below the surface, often slightly breaking the water during a twitched retrieve.The Suspending darts a few feet down when jerked along and hovers enticingly when paused.The Sinking rocks as it falls and can be counted down to a desirable depth. “The Sinking models are perhaps the most versatile overall, because they can be used at any depth from top to deep, but of course it depends on the situation and what depth you’re targeting whether the FL, SU, SK or FSK model best fits the conditions,” says Patrick Sebile. The Stick Shadd has a thin keel that runs the length of the lure, and the power of that keel (the “Power Keel”) activates the Stick Shadd, allowing the bait to move more freely and unpredictably in every direction, left, right, up and down.

Using quick, crisp snaps is one of the overall best ways to use it. Predators will often hit the Stick Shadd because of the super-erratic action it has when snapped. You never know what it is going to do next. The Stick Shadd may go two feet to one side, and next it will go one foot to the same side, then all of a sudden, shoot a little higher up or dart down. It never looks like anything that is predictable. It’s all over the place. They really think this is the real deal, and they better grab it now or they won't be able to grab it at all. Indeed, that type of action causes strike-triggering results with any predator species, big or small, and there are Stick Shadd sizes for them all. Another technique is to use long pulls and pauses. The Stick Shadd even has action on a steady troll or straight retrieve, it has a side-to-side swagger, and that's not all.The Sinking and Fast-Sinking models vibrate and wobble as they fall, attracting strikes even when the angler isn’t working them, they work themselves! Master the versatile uses, models and actions of the mighty Stick Shadd. It’s not hard to do, and it may soon become your personal favorite bait too.

Simply stated, the SEBILE Flats Jighead has no equal. The super-sharp hook is built to Japanese premium hook style standards and is 20% stronger than any other jig hook and 44% stronger than the average.

Truly the SEBILE Flats Jighead is a most excellent choice for use with the Stick Shadd Hollow because the jig head’s unique shape helps add to the action of the soft plastic lure and the head’s bait-holding collars keep the body snugly in place.

Its extreme strength makes the Flats Jighead ideal for salt and freshwater brutes, including some of the biggest, baddest battlers on the planet — tarpon, jacks, snapper, reds, snook, striped bass, salmon, pike, trophy largemouth, smallmouth, monster peacock bass, barramundi and many others.

The Stick Shadd Hollow is also great to skip-cast with the Flats Jighead so it shoots way back beneath docks, under boathouses and penetrates the shady lairs where big ones live under overhanging trees and brush hanging out over the water.

Flats Jigheads come in a multitude of weights, hook sizes and shank lengths to fit all baits and fishing needs. They may be used in conjunction with both natural baits and literally any soft baits made. The jig’s unique design has a high center of gravity to give natural baits, soft swimbaits and soft plastics, including the SEBILE Stick Shadd Hollow, an erratic baitfish-like action. The head’s flat front provides more water resistance for a slower descent. Each head is marked with hook size and weight for easy identification. The three segment collar holds baits firmly in place.

The photo above shows the high quality and value you get with SEBILE products. This Flats Jighead has caught 50 redfish and several tarpon. It still has its paint, the printing is clearly readable, and the hook is as sharp as ever.

The new Stick Shadd Hollow has all the features, actions and benefits of the regular Stick Shadd hardbait, PLUS all the additional benefits of a soft body which gives even more advantages to the angler, such as snagless rigging to fish right in the heart of thick cover where the big ones hide. As with the regular Stick Shadd hardbait, the soft version also has a very compact profile and shape of a real fish. Its aerodynamic shape allows the longest distance casts possible even in the wind. Small twitches, jerks or even reeling it in straight, provides the amazing and unpredictable swimming, jerking, darting and sliding action that brings this bait to life thanks to SEBILE’s unique “Power Keel” design underneath the bait.

The Stick Shadd Hollow is designed extra thick where it matters most so that it’s as durable and re-usable as possible. Although the body is hollow, it is not a thin plastic around the hollow part. It is really a thick enough layer designed so each bait has the possibility to last longer than most other soft hollow lures. Keeping the Stick Shadd Hollow in the original resealable package and its body-fitting storage tray also helps preserve the quality and extend the life of these premium, hand-painted lures.

To rig weedless, use the SEBILE Soft Weight System for best results and for easy addition and removal of weight. Insert the hook through the bait’s nose, come out under the chin and add the special Tungsten weights before inserting the hook into the belly. When rigged properly, the hook point ends up protected inside the lures’body.

Jighead-Rigged

The SEBILE Soft Weight System lets you change the way the lure will descend so if you have the weights positioned toward the front, it will dive head first. If you have the weight toward the belly, it sinks more slowly and horizontally as it kind of floats softly on its body.You may even put the weights on the bend of the hook, therefore inside the body and then the lure will have an ultra-slow descent which really looks a lot like a dying baitfish where you can simply twitch it a couple of times and let it sink for several seconds or more before you twitch it again.

Weedless-Rigged Weight-forward Provides ANGLED descent

Weight-back Provides LEVEL descent

The lure can also be fished on a jig head such as the SEBILE Flats Jighead. Also excels on a drop-shot rig, wacky style and even on a fireball or bluefish rig.

Weight-inside Provides a unique fluttering, SIDE-SWIMMING descent

Introducing the Vibrato — a totally unique new lure concept by SEBILE.

When the lure is dropped on a slack line, the Vibrato falls with an erratic motion. Even on the fall, the bait’s vibrations are so strong that they can be felt throughout the lure’s descent if you thumb the spool lightly. Those same vibrations are spreading out into the water as it descends, leaving a trail of vibratory attraction fanning out throughout the water column! It’s like chumming the water but with vibration.

As its name implies, the Vibrato has a natural vibrating action. But unlike any other vibrating lure it vibrates on the fall, when jigged, twitched, retrieved steadily or trolled in any way and at any speed! The unique constant vibration is due to the design of its body being deeply compressed with a wider belly and a thinner back, thus causing it to vibrate regardless of how it is being fished.

When it reaches bottom or whatever mid-depth you wish to target, as soon as the slightest jigging motion is made with the rod, this responsive lure reacts immediately. It vibrates from even the smallest tug or lightest tension on the line. Fish it fast or slow, pull it up and drop it down, or leave it hanging suspended in the strike zone long enough to make even the most finicky fish finally take the bait.

The heavy Vibrato is primarily designed for vertical fishing and trolling, although the Vibrato is equally effective when cast and retrieved from shore or boat, slow jigged or fished through the ice.

Best of all, the Vibrato is a jig that won’t wear your arm out by pulling hard on the rod all day long to make it work! Thanks to its unique equilibrium balance, the Vibrato reacts and has action and vibration as soon as you simply pull on the rod tip, even slow or small rod movements activate the Vibrato. All predators absolutely love that exciting yet easy-to-catch action, and with this unique lure, using only a small fraction of the effort, you can out-produce others lures which need a fast speed retrieve or a shoulder-wrenching stroke to trigger attacks.

The Vibrato has a natural baitfish shape that attracts all fresh and saltwater predators. The Vibrato has one treble hook on each end of this realistic baitfish look-alike. You will appreciate the added benefit of having two treble hooks when fish are biting lightly, especially when fishing deep. You may replace the hooks if you need to switch to a size or strength that’s more ideally suited to your gear, to the conditions or the fish you are after. However, the hooks must be the same on each end of the lure to get the balance that creates the action.

Yet it’s not just a vertical fishing lure, it’s equally effective as a casting lure and it’s devastating trolled as well. Fish it any way you want to, at any depth, any speed, and it will surely catch every predator fish you care to target in fresh or saltwater.

Shallow Spoon Model

Line Test

Shallow Spoon #1 5/16 oz / 9g Sinking 2" to 8" 6 to 20 lb

The Shallow Spoon is a very unique little lure. One goal of this lure was to have a very small, compact spoon that is exceptionally heavy for its size to permit long yet accurate casting. We addressed this by creating a unique proprietary alloy mixture of heavy metals, resulting in a compact size of only one inch, but heavy weight of 5/16 oz (9 g). While being heavy, the goal was also to have this lure be able to stay quite shallow.To achieve these ordinarily contradictory qualities, the complex surface beneath the tail is a hydrofoil designed to aid in lifting the heavy body, allowing use of turbulence rolling under its shape to keep the spoon shallow yet still maintain its very beautiful and wonderful swimming action. So even if it is heavy, it is still possible to fish only a few inches deep!

used as a trailer on the hook, and it won’t seriously affect the swimming or rocking action of the spoon. Thanks to the precise weighting of the body, even with a natural or artificial bait hooked on it, the Shallow Spoon always comes to rest on the bottom with the hook upright.The body shape is wide and flat, so even if the bottom is soft or muddy, the Shallow Spoon will rest on top of mud or soft sediment. If it was a regular jig head for the same weight, it would sink into a soft bottom, but thanks to the shape of this lure, it will sit on top of the mud or even perch on top of grass, and present the bait at the right place.

This shallow-riding spoon is not just for shallow water however. It may be used to fish close to the surface even in deep water. Many times you can have schools of small baitfish clustered on the surface and the gamefish must chase them there, so it is important your lure can stay near the surface. Under these conditions, the case is often fast-moving schools of predators feeding on the baitfish. One never knows where the gamefish will pop up next, so it is important that your lure is a heavy one that casts far, quickly and precisely. The Shallow Spoon meets all these goals.

It is made with a weedless wireguard system. If you want to go fishing in brush or grass or rocks, then it really is very snagless and comes through all kinds of snaggy situations quite well. Of course if you are fishing open water, you may permanently remove the wireguard with no ill effects to the spoon or its action.

It has a lot of other great uses as well. On the drop, it has a rocking, fluttering irresistible sinking action that makes it great for vertical jigging. You can ice fish with it or do any kind of vertical jigging within the depth range that's appropriately suited to its size and weight.

Although it is a small lure, a relatively big single hook is molded inside the compact body. So it can catch small fish which go for its small size, but even if you hook a mighty large fish, you should have no worries with the formidable hook that can easily handle bigger, stronger brutes that go for this unique little lure.

Full wire reinforced - Extra strong hooks & rings - Foam filled

The SEBILE SALT & SUN series is the achievement by Patrick Sebile, based on years of worldwide trophy fishing, that solves the problems sportsmen have many times while fighting very big fish. The fact is our strong opponents can free themselves at times because they can break the body of a conventional hard lure, open its hooks or tear out the internal rigging because these parts are not strong enough to handle such fighting pressures. To top it off, some predators have such sharp or cutting teeth they can go right through most lures. THE SEBILE SALT & SUN series is dedicated to catching these big game fish. These lures have reinforced bodies, the hooks used are chosen because they're the strongest ones available, the split rings are super heavy duty to protect against opening, and the hard plastic body itself is filled with foam. This is what makes your SEBILE Salt & Sun lures worthy of the most ferocious adversary, and even hard toothy bites don't destroy these lures - the Salt & Sun series will resist, endure and catch even more big fish! Trophy hunters, here are your lures! With the creation of Salt & Sun series, Patrick Sebile has taken what he's learned from many years of battling and landing IGFA quality monsters, and he's designed a lure series that can stand up to the toughest fish! When fishing for brutes and trophies, only the best will last and give you the chance to land the monster you were fighting with.This is the reason SEBILE has chosen to produce the Salt & Sun series lures ready to fish with the strongest hooks. No component of a lure can be weak if you target an ultra strong adversary like tuna, giant trevally, cubera snapper, cobia, roosterfish or giant tarpon.Therefore our split rings are ultra strong! All Full Wire lures have a double piece of wire that is welded to insure you the strongest resistance a lure can give you. Note: Only the Flatt Shad 124 is not full wire. Some predators have teeth as strong as steel and razor sharp.They can tear through and puncture even the strongest lures. Usually this means you retire that brave warrior with a great memory but we have a better solution! Our foam-filled lures will survive to catch another monster even after a brutal attack that would destroy most other lures! New for 2011! You’ll find seven new sizes on the following pages, that take our commitment to landing big fish even further. These new sizes are the very largest ones in the Salt & Sun series now, and all the hooks and eyes are solidly connected on one head-to-tail steel plate inside the body, and feature advanced ultra-rigging of superstrong new hooks, some custom-made by Patrick Sebile, along with new custommade monster swivels and mega-components. The new, ultra-rigged sizes for 2011 cover all your trophy needs, from top to deep, casting, slow to high speed trolling clocked at up to 22 mph (knots) with the new Bonga Jerk 215 — the fastest trolling hard bait in the industry! Not to mention the new Koolie Minnow Long Lip 240, the deepest diver on the seven seas! Plus five other new sizes for 2011 including the Flatt Shad XH 155 and 215, the Stick Shadd 210 FL and SK, and the monster Splasher 240, all with stainless steel plate internal construction that defies destruction!

This lipless deep-bodied shad moves through the water with incredible agility and lifelike action. Thanks to its integral “Power Keel”, this bait works beautifully when trolled, shifting from side to side in a rhythmic dance. It is a great bait when trolled straight with a flat line, with outriggers, or used as a downrigger lure, at any speed you need from slow to medium to ultra fast, depending on the fish you target. Its “Full Wire” assembly withstands the most brutal attacks from big fish. Great lure for spinning and casting too.

The Koolie Minnow BRL has a round and very broad lip to create a tremendous wobble and fluid swimming action as it is slow trolled or retrieved. Particularly unique and effective at enticing stubborn fish to strike is the ability for this lure to move upward and gently flick the surface with its lip when the retrieve is quickened. The rolling wobble accentuates the visibility of the lure, which gets an added visual effect from its profile. This alternating view of back and belly is exciting to gamefish and often draws them from greater depths and distances.Truthfully, there is no other lure in the world with the action of the Koolie Minnow Big Round Lip!

The Koolie Minnow LL S&S is designed with the unique capacity to dive to depths that other lures of its kind can’t reach.The design of its strong, wire-reinforced lip allows a steep dive and an easy retrieve in comparison to other baits of its kind. Since the unique bridged lip is extended away from the body, it uses the entire surface area and dives more efficiently as well as providing much less resistance on the troll or retrieve than any other baits, permitting you to reach fish that can’t be reached with conventional lures. No other lure can master the depths with this enticingly wide wobble and ease of retrieve. It’s our must-have deep diver trolling bait. You may optimize the diving depth like designer Patrick Sebile does by using braided line instead of monofilament. Also, fishing a wide range of depths is as easy as using a shorter or longer length of line while trolling.

New for 2011! The new Koolie Minnow Long Lip 240 is the deepest diver on the seven seas! Thanks to its humped back, flattened belly and bridged lip, it pulls less on the rod than other deep divers that only reach half its diving depth. So you can troll it deep, really deep, deeper than ever before without the rodstraining hassle where you must set the drag almost to the maximum to be able to troll it. The body is reinforced with an internal stainless steel metal plate that connects the hooks and eye, along with monstrous wide open hooks mounted on ball bearing swivels. A must have for deep blue water trolling as well as for all trophy gamefish anywhere in salt and freshwater.

The rounded, deep profile of the Flatt Shad produces excited, hyperactive movements to give this lure an intense, powerful swimming action. The vibration from this lure is incredible, extending the strike zone and neutralizing adverse conditions like chop and current, meaning that the turbulence and vibrations emitted by this lure are louder than and broadcast its presence more strongly to predators in every direction, regardless of the background noise of wind, waves and current around it. Perfect for any conditions so you may troll it, cast it or jig it at any speed from slow to fast. The 124 size has one unique feature: this lure is the only one in the S&S range that isn’t full-wire reinforced although still very strong thanks to ultrasonic welding, making it is the best choice when you need to use an undersized lure for finicky fish or predators targeting small prey! That makes it a must-have in your tackle box.

New for 2011! The new 155 and 215 sizes were expressly made to target the world’s biggest bluewater and freshwater game fishes. Always a high vibration bait, these monster Flatt Shads create so much turmoil in the water while trolled or jigged that they attract predators from far away. No need to troll fast to get the best action from them, which save gas and increases results as well.The swimming action is so powerful that it is not recommended to use too light a rod and line.The 155 can also be cast with a strong rod; like the 124, it is equipped with two extra strong treble hooks. Note the 215 size comes with heavy duty ball bearing mounted single wide gap hooks to eliminate leverage while fighting large, twisting fish. Both the 155 and 215 have a steel cut sheet that connects hooks and eye for unlimited internal power to withstand the worst battles.

The 100% pure fish catching machine, the Stick Shadd is a winner. This great casting and trolling bait is Patrick Sebile’s personal favorite. Its distinctive design creates an erratic, unforeseen behavior with furious movement in every direction. Each model operates according to its particular designed depth. The Floating models float just below the surface, often breaking the water intermittently during a twitched retrieve. The Sinking models vibrate back and forth as they drift through the depths while being counted down to a desirable level at which you may easily work one back with sharp, short twitches and jerks of the rod. Add other actions as desired to suit the moment! The Stick Shadd is full of life and draws strikes when no other lure can!

New for 2011! The Stick Shadd is one of the most popular lures in the SEBILE range, and the overall favorite lure of Patrick Sebile. So it was only logical to upgrade the range to a new 210 size level to target the big mean ones. Tested on the coral-encrusted length of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef by Patrick Sebile and the legendary Nomad Team, the 210mm monsters have proven exceptional results on every kind of game fish from shallow reefs to open bluewater. Coming in Floating and Sinking versions permits you to choose the one that fits the conditions best.This new size possesses all the action and benefits of smaller sizes, plus it has a steel cut sheet from nose to tail, connecting the hooks to make it tough as possible. Rigged with two extra heavy reinforced treble hooks, they may be replaced by single hooks without altering the action of the lure. Just pick single hooks of the same weight as the trebles being replaced. This is the way it works for replacing hooks as well on any other SEBILE lure - replace hooks with ones of the same weight to preserve the action.We designed the Stick Shadd 210 FL and SK to be mostly used for spinning and casting, but they also work very well indeed for trolling.

The unique Splasher’s cupped mouth was created to make as much noise as possible and to eject tons of water to attract fish from afar or from deep down! The lure’s wide open mouth can create a real ruckus on top. It’s capable of launching large volumes of water when necessary to do that. Using a softer stroke creates a more subtle “pop” and small twitches give it a mesmerizing walking action that throws water back and forth. The shape and design of this lure makes for easy long casting but also can be used for trolling. Never duplicated, the Splasher is a must-have to give you a unique advantage for catching a wide variety of species on top.

New for 2011! Dedicated to the very large predators, the Splasher 240 is a class of lure unto itself. It moves water as no other bait on the deep blue sea.The result is it attracts game fish from a long distance AND very deep. Testing in Panama and Australia proved this was the lure that fish would hit the most when several lures were used at the same time on the same boat.Trophy specialist Olivier Charpentier’s fishfinder was showing large cubera snapper and tuna coming from as deep as 120 feet to attack this lure on top! This is definitely NOT a typical lure.You must use the right rod, reel and line to be able to use this massive lure correctly and land the huge fish it will attract. Its mouth pushes so much water it looks like a GT (giant trevally) just attacked on top, so don’t be fooled by the explosion you make when pulling on the rod! Also, it has an undulating, easy, walk-the-dog action that finesses strikes from finicky fish. A cut metal sheet inside connects the hooks and eye. Heavy duty ball bearing swivels and extra heavy 10/0 trebles arm this lure to handle all! It is also possible to replace the trebles with single hooks, rigging one in front of the head only, or one in front and one on the tail, depending how the fish are biting.

* Choose snap size based on whichever is lower lb test - the line or the leader. ** Resistance based on species known for powerful, long-lasting fights; in case of species with short, quick fights (pike or bass for example), line and leader test can be 50% higher than shown.

Many anglers don’t use snaps because there never really was a very good one. Now there is! Sudden opportunities often arise to catch a fish on a lure other than the one attached. Unfortunately, it may take too long to retie and the opportunity can be lost.That’s why Patrick Sebile felt the need for SEBILE Game Snaps. He desired to be able to change lures quickly, yet he was not happy with the snaps on the market. Fishing everywhere for every kind of species under all fishing conditions, Patrick determined that a range of snaps were needed to perfectly cover all situations: 1. Light Game Snaps. Egg-shaped. For light line fishing, very small to small lures with subtle action that may be stifled by too heavy a snap. Fish lifted by hand or net. 2. Medium Game Snaps. This is the model that will meet most situations and fishing needs. Egg-shaped medium wire with safety locking clasp. For small to big lures. For light to strong lines and leaders. 3. Power Game Snaps. Reserved for the strongest fish. For medium to extra large lures, strong to extra heavy lines,

perfect for all big game fish in fresh and saltwater. Elongated shape, heavy interlocking wire. Patrick Sebile’s experience has proven to him that a snap’s strength or resistance needs to be about three times stronger than the line test because the pressure put on a snap during an extended fight will slowly but surely cause permanent deformation of the snap. However, when you simply need to handline a leader to stop a fish or boat it, a short, quick, high tension like that is much easier for a snap to resist. So it is important you choose the right snap based on the use you plan to make of it and the fish you are after. With the right match between line/leader and snap, according to the chart shown, you will be able to fight any fish and have short to extremely long fights while being able to feel cool, confident and connected all the time. To use a snap, in most cases, you don’t need to also use the nose split ring that comes with a lure. The snap itself will provide full freedom of movement to the lure. Routinely check your line and snap after landing several fish or a big one, and don’t hesitate to replace a snap when the shape appears to have deformed from fighting fish or if a fish bit down on it. Also, bending it back too much to open it may result in deformation of the snap, leading to wrong closing position or loss of strength. Follow these simple guidelines to enjoy fishing with super strong SEBILE Game Snaps.

The SEBILE split rings are the same ones that come standard on each SEBILE hard bait. They are specified and selected by Patrick Sebile for their long-lasting reliability. Size to size, they are amongst the strongest on the market, with a high resistance against pull and against opening. The stainless steel selected for these rings is properly forged for an even increased resistance and ability to endure, plus they are rustproof.You may replace existing split rings on any lure you have by matching the actual size. If you desire to upgrade your bait so it has extra resistance, you may step up to a little larger SEBILE split ring. The wide range of SEBILE split ring sizes permits you to meet all of your lure needs, from light tackle lures to bluewater fishing.
