Bait Fry
The Basstrix bait fry lures mimic the small fry fish in the panfish family, such as sunfish, bluegill and crappie. The lure comes in a 3.5-inch size and in three different color schemes. Lure patterns and colors include bluegill, chartreuse bluegill and shiner perch. The lure fits with darter head jigs, Carolina rigged or drop shot rigged.
Vibration Tubes
The vibration tube lures move like small versions of shad, perch or sardine. Narrower than the bait fry series, the vibration tube lures work for species such as bass, larger perch and lake trout. The lures work with treble hooks or single hooks. Most of these are 4 inches in length and move much like lipless crankbait.
Paddle Tail Tubes
The paddle tail tube lures are larger than bait fry or vibration tubes and go through weeds, vegetation or sediment. These lures go deep for trout or bass, if you add a sinker. Treble or single hooks fix to the tail end of the lure. Lures include bass, pearl, trout, shad, smelt or blue black herring.
