When it comes to matching the hatch, more options ensures better outcomes. So stock up on VMC’s new finesse baits, which mimic a wide range of forage, including aquatic insects, crustaceans and baitfish.
The new Crayfish Jig, Luv Bug Jig, Boot Tail Spinnerbait, Curl Tail Spin Jig and Probe Jig all come pre-rigged with Trigger X® soft-plastic bodies in numerous natural and eye-grabbing color patterns, further enhancing your chances for matching the hatch.
Each new VMC bait comes armed with a VMC Power Gap Hook, which features a 5-percent wider gap than traditional jig hooks, allowing a better hook-up ratio. Each also features a 90-degree line tie, which ensures optimal horizontal position of the jig, allowing anglers to convert more hits into solid hooksets.
Crayfish Jig
The Crayfish Jig comes pre-rigged with a Trigger X soft-plastic crayfish body. Cast it around rocky shorelines, brush piles and laydowns for fish feeding on small crayfish.
It comes two-per-pack in three color patterns – Black Brown, Black Chartreuse and Black Orange. It’s available in two sizes – 1/32 oz. (No. 6 hook) and 1/16 oz. (No. 4 hook)
Luv Bug Jig
The Luv Bug Jig is pre-rigged with a Trigger X soft-plastic Luv Bug body, which features a heart-shaped tail that flaps and waves, tempting even the most finicky of fish into biting. Pound it on the bottom to stir up a following for goliath perch, go deep in the jungle for bug-hatch seeking slabs, or twitch it over open water to simulate the fleeing action of big aquatic insects.
It’s available in 8 color patterns – Black Chartreuse Glow, Crappie Minnow, Glow, Glow Chartreuse, Green Orange Glow, Orange Chartreuse Glow, Pink Chartreuse Glow and Red Pearl Glow. It comes two-per-pack in two sizes – 1/32 oz. (No. 6 hook) and 1/16 oz. (No. 4 hook).
Probe Jig
The tiny Probe Jig replicates small fry and baitfish with a unique, spear-like profile. It comes two-per-pack pre-rigged with a Trigger X Probe soft-plastic body.
It’s available in eight color patterns – Black Chartreuse Glow, Crappie Minnow, Glow, Glow Chartreuse, Green Orange Glow, Orange Chartreuse Glow, Pink Chartreuse Glow and Red Pearl Glow. It comes in two sizes — 1/32 oz. (No. 6 hook) and 1/16 oz. (No. 4 hook).
Curl Tail Spin Jig
The Curl Tail Spin Jig fits the bill as both a bass-targeting finesse bait and as a primary panfish offering. It features an under-spinning Colorado blade and comes pre-rigged with a Trigger X® Curl Tail soft-plastic body. A ball bearing swivel connects the blade, allowing for maximum rotation and flash. Featuring a long and curled micro-thin tail, the Curl Tail body emits a light and subtle vibration as it swims.
It’s available in 6 color patterns – Black Chartreuse Glow, Crappie Minnow, Green Orange Glow, Pink Chartreuse Glow, Pearl White and Red Pearl Glow. It comes in two sizes – 1/16 oz. (No. 4 hook) and 1/8 oz. (No. 2 hook).
Boot Tail Spinnerbait
VMC’s Boot Tail Spinnerbait is another flashy finesse offering for bass and primary bait for panfish — with the added benefit of being weedless. It features a Colorado blade on a paperclip-style arm swinging from the eyelet of special ball-head-type jig pre-rigged with a Trigger X Boot Tail body. Featuring long, micro-thin mid-sections terminating in a boot-shaped tail paddle, Boot Tail Minnows swim with a light and subtle vibrating action.
It’s available in 6 color patterns – Black Chartreuse Glow, Crappie Minnow, Green Orange Glow, Pink Chartreuse Glow, Pearl White and Red Pearl Glow. It comes in two sizes – 1/16 oz. (No. 4 hook) and 1/8 oz. (No. 2 hook).
