Thought I would let you know about these new All-Terrain Tackle jigs that will help you catch more bass this summer. The next few months present some of the best bass fishing of the year, and these three jigs will help you make the most of the summertime patterns.
Smasher Head: The Smasher Head is built for midsized swimbaits and is a great tool for targeting deeper bass. Roll the Smasher across structures such as rock piles and outside weed lines for best results in summer months. The natural kicking action of a swimbait and the lifelike appearances of the Smasher Head will trigger bites from fish that are looking for a swimming meal.
Mighty Jig Worm Head: The Mighty Jig Worm Head is one of the most versatile jigs in the All-Terrain Tackle lineup and is an absolute machine for fishing summertime weed lines. Work the Mighty Jib along drop offs and submerged grass with your favorite worm of other soft plastic to feed those deeper fish to eat.
Grassmaster Weed Jig: Not all fish make a beeline for the nearest drop-off or outside grass line when summer sets in. Oftentimes, some of the biggest bass in a body of water are found hiding in the nastiest and thickest shallow cover, and that is where the All-Terrain Grassmaster comes into play. The Grassmaster’s bullet-shaped head is specifically designed for punching its way through grass to get down to where the big ones are living. Target topped out coontail, cabbage, milfoil, and even laydowns with Grassmaster and you will find bass.

NATURE NOTES
From the DEC’s June Outdoor Discovery, for all you Hummingbird fans, Hummingbirds can travel 30 mph when flying horizontally, but when they dive vertically, they can reach up to 60 MPH. Their wings move in figure eight patterns to fly backwards, forwards, suspend themselves in mid-air, and fly upside down. Their feet are so small they are unable to walk on them, but they can move from side to side on a perch.”
