Yo! I'm comin' at you with some new schtuff that caught my eye while down at ICAST (the fishing biz trade show) in Orlando, FL. Of course I can't fit every cool new thing in a single email, so will have a BUNCH more headed your way in upcoming Target Walleyes. Hope this holds you off until next week – enjoy!

In no particular order...

Apparently it IS possible for ACME Hyper-Rattles to get even fish-sexxier. These new colors are gonna be 💣💣💣:

First jighead I've ever seen with a built-in swivel to eliminate line twist. Pretty cool idea:

Pretty sure if a jigging spoon + blade bait + glide bait had a 👶 their offspring would be the Savage Gear Switch Blade. Comes in 3 sizes (1 2/3", 3/16 oz – 2", 1/3 oz – 2 1/3" 5/8 oz) and 8 colors:

And here's a quick look at its action in <18" of water...so you can imagine how wild it'd be if you had more real-estate to work with:

Available in 4 sizes (1/16, 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 oz) and 3 colors (black, green pumpkin and chartreuse). Love that all the sizes will have a 1/0 hook, 'cuz a lot of other jigs out there start bumping up the hook size the heavier they get...which is fine unless you're trying to throw compact little baits like you want to with a Ned rig. Can't wait to try 'em.

Loud and proud 💪 with a killer tumbling action. I got to play with one last winter on Lake of the Woods and it's the real deal. Comes in 4 sizes (1/8, 3/16, 1/4, and 3/8 oz) and 12 colors – available this fall:

They were able to incorporate the rattle system into the bait's eyeball so she's now a noise-maker, but still has that same lightweight brass construction and sloooow tantalizing fall the original Quiver Spoon is known for.

You asked for more "walleye colors" in Berkley PowerBait The Champ Swimmers and The Champ Minnows...no doubt Berkley delivered. Quick glimpse at a few I'll definitely be slinging:

It's finally no secret that Ned rigs and dropshots catch the snot outta walleyes. Try it and you WILL fall in love...the walleyes already have. ❤️

Here's a look (from left to right) at the new Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Lil' General, MaxScent Lil' Trooper, and the proven MaxScent Flat Worm that also got new colors and sizes:

Since we're talking secrets....

Obviously the new Berkley PowerBait Agent E will catch 'em in lakes with gobies:

But did you know there's a species of walleye candy called the "sculpin" that's native in more waters than you'd think? 🤫 Google 'em. Learn 'em. Walleyes devour 'em.

Again, in no particular order...

🤯 Pics do NOT do it justice:

Ummmm 🙋‍♂️ yes please:

The first-ever crawler harness that rattles – 🤯 why didn't I think of that? The one on the left is translucent just so you can see a bit of the internals (rattle chamber is on top):

> "...the same patented hexagonal rattle chamber technology that is on the [also new but available now] Rattlin' SpinMaster. The chamber is driven by the spin of the blade to produce a loud vibration and rattle that mimics feeding baitfish."

Literally built from 97% recycled fishing nets. And in person the finer details of these shades = 💯 impeccable.

I was able to snag a pair of the Santiagos and love 'em! It's hard to find frames that work with my oversized melon, but these ones fit GREAT so I wasn't going to leave there without a pair lol.

Might just be the most-productive walleye lures on Lake Erie ever. Bold statement, I know, but seriously. I'd bet that if you were getting breakfast at a local diner, and a Lake Erie local overheard you saying you caught fish on something other than a Bandit Walleye Deep or Walleye Shallow they'd probably spit out their coffee lol. 🤷‍♂️ Or you just might not get served hahaha. Either way you've gotta have 'em in your arsenal and they're adding a bunch more new colors:

I don't know about you 👀 but most "kits" I find are made up of maybe 1 or 2 things I'd actually use and then a bunch of cheap fluff the company is – maybe – trying to get rid of??? Definitely NOT the case with these 36-piece walleye kits. Quality, fish-catching stuff in a convenient package:

Shout-out to Eagle Claw for always thinking about the walleye crowd! 🙌

They also have a console version if you want to permanently bolt it somewhere.

I know the "cool" thing is to talk about the most expensive electronics you can find – and we do hit on higher-end units plenty – but the reality is most folks don't need $15K in sonar to get out and catch a few fish. So I thought this one was super cool...

Can now get Humminbird MEGA Side Imaging in a 7" HELIX unit, plus all the technology you find in the big brother models with upgrades like the 3 preset keys, high-def display, 2 micro sd slots, and the SI and DI models will even work with MEGA Live Imaging.

Proof you can ball on a budget! Or ball on a kayak, jon boat, or smaller tin rigs. 👊

Know a lot of folks have been waiting for this one – this little gadget lets you record and share video footage from Aqua-Vu's HD camera series straight to your cell phone or tablet:

The unit that's been all the rage is getting a lithium upgrade, so it runs longer (believe 11-ish hours on full brightness) and also shaved off nearly 6-lbs:

Wish I would have been taking better notes when chatting with the Garmin crew, but it sounds like the transducer cable has been upgraded on this unit as well. Doesn't get as stiff and is way more manageable in the freezing cold.
