Rebel Lures Ultra-Finesse Jigs Snack Packs

 Ultra-Finesse Jig Snack Packs, new from Rebel Lures, offer an ideal solution for fooling the finickiest of fish, with cast-and-catch convenience right out of the package.

 

Rebel Ultra-Finesse Jigs utilize Rebel’s KEG Jig Head design, which was introduced with LIVEflex soft plastic lures. The head shape rolls off rocks and other cover effectively but is also well suited for swimming presentations. A finesse-style skirt adds subtle motion, and a pre-rigged LIVEflex bait completes the natural appearance.

Great Lakes Finesse Solves Problems with Stay-Pinned Spybait

 Great Lakes Finesse doesn’t accept problems. GLF solves problems

The No. 1 problem with most spybaits is that fish (especially big, wildly jumping bass) too frequently free themselves during the fight. The Stay-Pinned Spybait uses a patent-pending top “breakaway hook,” in addition to two bottom-hanging trebles, so bass stay pinned, just as the name says.

 

The GLF Team refined the Stay-Pinned Spybait for more than three years, experimenting with body shaping, weighting, hook placement and every other aspect to create the perfect spybait – one that runs true at very slow speeds with a subtle shimmy and blades that turn freely. The bait sinks slowly with a shimmy and horizontal posture, when not being reeled, and tracks completely horizontal on the move.

 

The Stay-Pinned Spybait also features a Water-Through-Gill design that enhances the shimmy and adds resistance to maximize an angler’s ability to feel the bait.

 

The Stay-Pinned Spybait comes in 11 colors that range from Matte Black to ultra-subtle Pro Mist to fit every situation. It comes armed with BKK Super Slide hooks.

BASS Press Release

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — For the first time in 32 years and only the second time ever, a B.A.S.S. Nation qualifier wears the crown of the biggest title in bass fishing. Dylan Nutt, the 22-year-old phenom from Nashville, Tenn., won the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour in front of a giant home-state crowd at Food City Arena in Knoxville.

He follows in the footsteps of Bassmaster legend Bryan Kerchal, who won the 1994 Classic after qualifying through the Nation. Nutt earned his invite to this year’s Super Bowl of Bass Fishing by finishing third at the 2025 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at the Upper Mississippi River presented by Lowrance.

After the crowning moment, Nutt was still processing what it means to follow in Kerchal’s footsteps.

“I haven’t had the chance to think about it. I’ve got so many things in my head right now. I don’t know what I’m thinking,” he said.

“It [the Classic] has always been the pinnacle of bass fishing to us, and I mean, heck, the last Classic that I went to was the one here, back in 2023, and I never would’ve thought next time I went to a Classic I’d be in it and holding the trophy at the end of it.”

After catching 19-5 on Day 1 and a tournament-best 26-11 on Day 2, Nutt led the Top 25 anglers out onto the Tennessee River from Volunteer Landing this morning firmly ahead of second-place pro Drew Cook by nearly 4 pounds. The University of North Alabama (UNA) senior wasted little time extending his margin. Fishing in Fort Loudoun Reservoir, he caught a keeper on his second cast, boxed up a limit by about 9 a.m. and had culled to roughly 19 pounds by a few minutes after 10.

YUM Introduces Sniper Shad

Marrying the head shape, intricate details and softness of a YUM Scottsboro Swimbait with the subtle movement and sleek profile of a pintail minnow bait, the YUM Sniper Shad offers major bass appeal for a variety of important applications.

 

The slight roll and slender profile of the Sniper Shad, which comes in three sizes, makes it ideal for various jig/minnow presentations, with or without forward facing sonar, to coax strikes from pressured bass. The same sleekness and tight tail action make the Sniper Shad an excellent bladed jig trailer and well suited for fishing on an underspin or specialized swimming head.

 

Molded details that bring realism to the Sniper Shad include eyes, fins, gills and a natural scale pattern. Subtle and precise widening of the belly creates the perfect roll to prompt strikes.

 

The Sniper Shad is available in 3-, 4- and 5-inch sizes and in 12 colors, which include classics like Green Pumpkin and Black/Blue and realistic, multi-tone baitfish imitating colors.

Bassmaster Press Release

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee River showed out today. So did Tennessee’s own Dylan and Carter Nutt.

The brothers from Nashville once again made it quite clear that they’re a force on some of the most famous reservoirs in this region of the country. Carter and his tournament partner, Bryce Dimauro, fishing for the University of North Alabama (UNA), won the 2026 Strike King Bassmaster College Classic Exhibition presented by Bass Pro Shops on Watts Bar Reservoir with a five-bass limit for 15 pounds, 7 ounces.

Meanwhile, over on Fort Loudoun Reservoir, Dylan hauled in the heaviest limit thus far in the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour. In fact, his 26-pound, 11-ounce limit is the heaviest catch of any of the three Classics held on the Loudoun-Tellico system out of Knoxville, Tenn., and it vaulted Dylan into the lead going into Championship Sunday with a two-day total of 46 pounds even. 

The 22-year-old struggled to put into words the emotions he feels now leading the biggest tournament in bass fishing.

“Man, I’m feeling … I don’t know. It’s been unreal,” he said.

Coming into the tournament, there were rumors that Dylan was on some giant fish. Word had been circulating that he’d caught a 25- or 26-pound limit in practice. His Day 1 weight of 19-5 was not indicative of the quality of bass he was around.

“The wind was blowing really, really hard yesterday, and I waited until the end of the day to go into the area I caught ’em at today and caught that big bag in practice,” he said. “I wasn’t able to work my bait right and couldn’t really stay on the fish. I went in there today and they wanted to bite.”

When he went into that area at around 11:30, Dylan already had a solid limit of about 22 pounds, which would’ve had him nearly even with second-place pro Drew Cook’s two-day weight. But then his entire tournament changed in the course of two key bites.

Bassmaster Press Release

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — With one day in the books at the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour, the storyline for much of the field is change. Anglers enjoyed warm flip-flop weather during pre-tournament practice days in Knoxville, Tenn. Since then, the weather and water conditions have done the flip-flopping, bringing frost at takeoff, wind and muddy water to the Tennessee River.

The one thing that hasn’t changed is the name atop the Classic standings. Easton Fothergill, the reigning Classic champ from Grand Rapids, Minn., best navigated the shifting conditions to jump into the Day 1 lead with a limit of five smallmouth bass weighing 21 pounds, 8 ounces.

Like the weather recently, Fothergill’s day was up and down. He had to adjust, and he had to cover water. In fact, he ran 124 miles throughout Friday’s first day of competition.

Fothergill started the day running far into Tellico Reservoir, which connects to the Tennessee River’s Fort Loudoun Reservoir via a canal near both lakes’ lower ends.

“It’s just where I personally found the most consistent bigger fish,” he said. “I did have some fish in Loudoun, but by the time I made the right adjustment I didn’t have time to check those fish.”

Fans watching Bassmaster LIVE saw Fothergill make that adjustment in real time. He opened the morning by breaking off a good fish and only had about 9 pounds at noon. Then he made a shift to a different type of structure, landed on a good spot and caught a pair of 4-pounders.

“That’s when the lightbulb went off,” Fothergill said. “Then I duplicated it on another spot and filled my limit with the rest of the big ones.”

Those big ones were a trio of 4-pound-class fish that he landed in a rapid nine-minute flurry that started at about 1:30 p.m. Prior to his “lightbulb moment,” Fothergill was running spots he’d found in practice, but he had to abandon those areas because changes in current and water clarity caused his fish to reposition. He actually ran all new water to catch the five fish he brought to weigh-in at the Food City Center on the University of Tennessee campus.
