STAGGERING
GOMEZ
4.25” & 5.25” JERKY J KICKER Trophy Technology Catalog • Castaic Swimbait • www.castaicswimbait.com
These baits can be fished like a traditional swimbait, but they also provide the ability to fish them very fast or very slow because the slightest movement makes the tail dance in the water.
19
In 2011, The Kicker accounted for the largest Largemouth Bass caught in the world. Numerous other 15+ pound fish were caught on the Kicker.
The Staggering Gomez represents a totally new bait for the Pike and Musky angler, as well as a smaller version that is an incredible topwater lure for Largemouth Bass. Because of the forward facing legs, the bait “staggers” back and forth, in a wide and wild walk. The Staggering Gomez comes equipped with a custom razor sharp dual hook. The hooking percentages on this bait are far better than single hook baits. The hollow design allows the bait to easily compress, exposing the razor sharp hooks. The bait even has a lower hook hanger for open water presentations. Upon retrieval, the bait makes tremendous surface commotion and will leave a huge wake. Additionally, the two innovative vent holes evacuate any water upon the cast, eliminating the constant need to drain the bait.
THE STAGGERING GOMEZ IS AVAILABLE IN 2.5” AND 4.5” SIZES AND BOTH WEIGH 1.5 OZ.
But, we don’t all live in California, and don’t all have access to giant bass. Along those lines, the Jerky J Kicker was developed. These baits combine the Jerky J head and the Kicker Tail to form a unique lure that has incredible, undulating tail action. Albino

WHY BULLDAWG RODS?
Trophy Technology Catalog • Bulldawg Rods • www.bulldawgrods.com
Bulldawg rods are made from the finest rodbuilding materials currently available. All rods are constructed from Japanese Toray graphite fiber. Toray fiber is a unidirectional nano-fiber that has an extremely high strength to weight ratio. That means we can build an ultra powerful rod which is still extremely light Carbon prepreg is expensive stuff. A 50m roll can cost thousands of dollars, and we consume kilometers of it each month. The resin, a modified epoxy system, does not cure at room temperature, but needs heat to make it solidify. This means the prepreg will not cure at room temperature and can be refrigerated to keep for very long periods. By itself, carbon fiber is a black floss-like material that is very vulnerable to abrasion and damage. Only by combining it with a resin system do we get a composite that is useful as an engineering material. So when we talk loosely about carbon fiber fishing rods we normally mean carbon fiber and epoxy composite. These bass rods feature the patented Microwave Guide System from American Tackle.
BASS RODS
Well, we finally went ahead and did it. After 8 years of building our award winning musky rods we finally took the advice of our Pro Staff and designed the ultimate tools for bass fishing. The ten rods are all the tools a bass fishermen would ever need. Whether you are a touring Pro or weekend warrior, these rods are for you. We spared absolutely no expense on these rods and each blank incorporates Japanese Toray fiber, which is a unidirectional nano fiber giving our rods incredible feel, lightness and power. Combine that with a no-questions-asked warranty, incredible looks, power, and sensitivity that has to be felt to be believed. This line is available on now and you can find them in your favorite retailers worldwide. NEW FOR 2017: SKU

For years you’ve been asking for a rod tough enough to throw big baits like magnum bulldogs, jerk baits and heavy topwaters, and still have a sensitive tip with a blank that has the horsepower to hammer hooks into a trophy musky. Well, you have just found the rod you aren’t going to put down—except to unhook that once-in-a-lifetime fish!
35
Musky Innovations Bulldawg Series Rods are the ultimate in freshwater fishing rods. Built with proprietary tTech microweave carbon fibers, these rods are light but incredibly strong. Each blank is IM-8 and 100% carbon. Every rod has at least 11 guides to minimize stress along the curvature of the rod. Why do we overbuild our rods like this? Because when you’re hammering the hooks into a monster fish, we don’t want you to worry about equipment failure.

XRM-80 & 100 SPY A great way to target suspended fish, the Reaction Strike XRM SPY is a sinking bait that features easy to engage dual props: one at each end. The dual props churn as you retrieve the XRM SPY, putting off rapid vibrations similar to a struggling and injured baitfish in its last throws of life. The dual props also provide additional flash for low light and stained water conditions, and the fact that it is a highly effective sinking bait allows you to attack the entire water column. Featuring true tournament quality Kitana Hooks.

Trophy Technology Catalog • Reaction Strike • www.reactionstrike.com
The Reaction Strike Revolution Shad swimbait is a fantastic new lure from Reaction Strike. The segmented hard-bodied lure is hydrodynamically engineered to produce an incredible, life-like, articulated swimming action. The ultra realistic and detailed paint schemes, 3D oversized eyes and perfectly balanced weighting give it a natural look like no other swimbait on the
59
market. Pre-rigged with premium chemically sharpened and strong VMC treble hooks, the Revolution Shad swimbait series is available in two sizes and two body shapes (Shad and Bluegill). This lure is already on the largemouth bass and toothy predator favorite meal list. The Revolution Series lures were designed to fall perfectly horizontally, just like a fish does. The slow fall version will fall flat and actually sit on it’s hook. It looks and acts like a living fish 100% of the time it’s in the water! Compare to other lures that nose-dive or spiral when sinking. This is the result of a long and arduous R&D phase which results in the superior action you’ll find with our lures. Welcome to a new Revolution of high-tech fishing.

Perfect for twitching along the tops of pads and grassmats, it is extremely weedless, super soft for excellent collapsibility, and equipped with a razor sharp Kitana frog hook.

CHUGGIN’ FROG
FLASH ‘N’ SHAD
The Chuggin’ Frog is an incredibly lifelike frog that perfectly imitates a frog or small baitfish caught in the slop. Cast it over slop, or lily pads, and slowly work the bait. Waiting bass underneath will explode out with ferocity to eat this bait. Or, work it in open water as a popping style frog. Either way, get ready for some exciting topwater action.
The Flash ‘N Shad is a slender crank that delivers tried-and-true action that is sure to push the capacity of your livewell. A sophisticated weighting system imparts long-distance casts and a perfectly balanced dive with each twitch of the rod tip. Cast it, rip it, reel it, and get the net or gaff ready!
KOHADA SHAD The Kohada Shad is a unique lure perfect for catching wary walleyes. Cast it, rip it, let it fall, or just straight retrieve this lure for bone jarring strikes from monster walleyes. This lure is great for bass and other game fish too. Perfect baitfish finishes, vibration, sound and flash make this lure a must have in every serious anglers tackle box.
WALKIN’ PAYCHECK The design of the handcrafted, Throwback LuresTM Walkin’ PaycheckTM makes the effective “walking the dog” technique easy. The tapered body and weighted tail makes the head of this bait sit high in water, putting it in a prone position which provides instantaneous turning and splashing with the slightest rod movement. Pros know that when it comes to drawing in fish on top, there is no better action than “walking the dog” and with the Walkin’ Paycheck’s lifelike finishes and unsurpassed action, fish don’t stand a chance.

Pearl Shad
THE PATRIOT The Patriot is the original MONSTERBASS bait that started it all! The attention to detail and anatomically accurate life-like design feature a Japanese-engineered unique side-to-side action that creates vicious topwater strikes with a simple twitch of the rod tip.

THE HAMMERHEAD The Hammerhead 2.5 is designed to be cranked through thick, shallow cover, ripped out of grass or pulled through open water. Diving to depths of 4’ and fitted with front-loaded Japanese red treble hooks, the Hammerhead 2.5 features a unique wobbling action and a stiff upper lip designed to endure vicious reaction strikes and deliver solid hooks sets every time. The patented rattle chamber creates a faint knocking sound that excites fish without spooking them.
