Three’s Company
When it comes to targeting bass on blueback herring lakes, versatility and realism are key—and that’s exactly why Bassmaster Elite Series pro Bryan New keeps all three sizes of the SPRO Sashimmy Swimmer on deck. On lakes like Murray, Hartwell, and Clarks Hill, where bass often chase fast-moving, nomadic herring, matching the hatch is critical—but so is adapting to the conditions. New uses the 105, 125, and 140 size Sashimmy Swimmers to dial in the perfect presentation based on water clarity, forage size, and bass activity. On high-pressure days or when fish are feeding on smaller herring, the 105 model shines. The 125 is New’s go-to for all-around use, offering a lifelike profile and tight kick that mimics the natural movement of herring. When bass are keyed in on bigger bait—or when it’s time to trigger a reaction bite from bigger fish—the 140 size Sashimmy delivers a bolder target with a more aggressive presence. With its premium components, subtle shimmy, and range of sizes, the SPRO Sashimmy Swimmer helps Bryan New stay one step ahead of the bite, no matter how finicky the fish—or how fast the herring are running.
Megabass IXI Blowly Crankbait
The result of an epic collaboration between legends Yuki Ito and Katsutake Imae (“IXI”), the Megabass IXI Blowly Crankbait is meticulously designed and engineered to deliver a superior level of performance to the discerning crankbait angler. Crafted with a stout body, the Blowly Crankbait features a patented intake structure and flared gills to precisely direct water pressure for outstanding stability and an aggressive wobble from slow to blazing-fast retrieve speeds. Built without rattles, the Blowly Crankbait attracts predators with a powerful high-frequency vibration that can even surpass classic balsa cranks. With a diving depth range of approximately 1–2 feet, the Blowly Crankbait excels in the shallows but is also highly productive when fished over surface-oriented bass in deeper water. Armed with a pair of premium #6 treble hooks and finished with impressively detailed color schemes to fool the most educated fish, the Megabass IXI Blowly Crankbait helps you blaze past the competition.
