Froggits by Snyder Lures
These are new and going to be HOT for fishing perch this winter. Froggits - everybody is going to need at least one in their tackle box. Put a white plastic Impulse or Gulp waxy on each hook and start jerking perch!
Coolest things since sliced bread!

PK Flutter Fish Jigging Spoon - Walleyes and Lakers
These are the new PK Lures Flutter Fish. They are a heavy weight spoon that I'm going to use for jigging this winter. But they also use these "Mr. Peanut" type spoons for casting and trolling in the summer. You can snap jig them with a 7 foot medium rod as you are trolling for intense walleye attacks. You can also cast them for vicious northern attacks with their unusual wobble.
But me, I'm going to vertically jig this spoon for walleyes and the little ones for crappies. The bigger model is going to put lake trout on the ice for me. These are my hopes and dreams of course, but it is different tackle and already winning rave reviews in various parts of the country. Plus, I have samples. That's one of the perks of owning a large tackle store. Somebody is always sending me something to review and test, but believe it or not, the vast majority of times, I buy tackle resale because I myself like the way it looks. That's always risky and explains why there are sections of the store with an inch of dust covering those regions. Nothing beats having money hanging from the pegs collecting dust. This does not mean that these lures do not produce. It does mean that fishermen are ridiculously susceptible to big tackle manufacturer marketing. Come on, fishermen! Do you seriously need an ad in a fishing magazine to tell you what to try? You can't determine that on your own? Apparently not. We see the "I saw it on TV or Biggun's Magazine" syndrome. Stop being a sucker for marketing. Ask a few questions, try some "off brand" suggestions if they look cool but you don't recognize the name.
See what happens! You will definitely have the lure that the fish haven't seen go by ad nauseum.
Based on the large number of fishermen passing through this business, no tackle is a dud all the time. There is always somebody who does really well on something that not everybody else is using. Tackle is one of those things that you never know how it works until you try it out. And everybody, I don't care how seasoned, hopes that new lure will be the "miracle" lure of a lifetime. There is nothing more vindicating than buying a new lure and having fish slam the crap out of it the minute it touches the water. Talk about making your day!
So, try out the PK Lure line. They are getting a little bit of hype an I think it's going to be hot stuff from the fish catching standpoint as opposed to the catching fishermen standpoint. My prediction is that these will be the "sleeper" lures of the winter. Everybody will want one and then they'll become impossible to get due to moderate supplies for new tackle not coming from a huge outfit like Rapala.

PK Panic - Exciting new tackle for this winter! PK Lures
PK Panic is a unique lure with a blend of crippled minnow with lots of flash. Jig it in the winter for walleyes and lake trout. Cast it in the summer for lakers in the spring and fall, walleyes and northerns all summer long. I caught a nice laker last winter in a lake across the road and went back to that same spot for another 4 trips (24 hours of jigging) only to be taunted by other lakers turning their nose up at me. They were coming and going all over my graph and would follow, come really close and then swim away from whatever I had on. I need a PK Panic and I didn't have one! This winter will be different!
I'm putting one of these puppies on and I'm getting more lakers just like the one I'm holding. That was a delicious fish!

I realize it may be a pipe dream, but even though I sell tackle, I see something new like this and it makes me drool. The water can't get hard enough here in NE Minnesota and the trout season seems like an eon away. (Jan 15th, I think) Yes, I test tackle and I'm testing this PK Panic out this winter. It'll have a wild action and the flash needed to tick off a laker into making him hit hard! At least that's what I see in this lure. I have a whole tackle store of lures that fit that description and my tackle box is obscene with the amount of lures and doodads I have to test out. Like every good dog, each lure will have it's day. This season, for lakers, I'm predicting this particular lure, the PK Panic to be the hot one.
Flurries outside my window as I type. I smell ice in the air!

PK Lures - New Killer Tackle for Winter
PK Lures are the new hot stuff for this winter in ice fishing tackle! We have them in stock and they look like lake trout are going to have something new to attack. PK Spoons have a really unusual shape on the back side of the spoon so when you drop them, they deflect in a different way. On the copper and nickel models below, you can see the bump in the lure. The other unique feature is the big glow eye. Making the inanimate look alive is what it is all about.

Company lure Description:
PK Jigging Spoons are the most dynamic spoons put on the market in years. The weighted design gives this bait an unparalleled action that calls in fish and causes them to strike. The counterweight system gives the lures an action that other tackle companies only dream of manufacturing. Each lure features glowing eyes to help attract fish in low light conditions. The lure comes in 7 color patterns: Firetiger Glow, Red Dot Glow, Copper, Nickel, Firetiger, Pearl Chartreuse and Shad. This is a must have lure for all walleye, bass, trout, pike, muskie and panfish fishermen.
If you would like to add some cool new jigging spoons to your A list, consider these PK Lures. Try a couple of different colors. My recommendation is a shiny silver and the firetiger if you are seeking lakers in clear water as they usually are found. For dark water, in search of lunker walleyes, do the copper and the firetiger glow. You can always add other colors down the road.
