BERKLEY® POWERBAIT® 3- AND 4- INCH RIPPLE SHAD
Segmented Sides Provide Unique Swim Action
 The
new PowerBait® Ripple Shad takes jig trailers to a new level.
The solid body bait, available in 3-inch and 4-inch versions,
has an oversized action tail and when combined with the
segmented body, creates more bait vibration in the water with a
powerful swimming action.
The ribbed sides increase the surface area on the bait for
better dispersion of the PowerBait scent. Oversized red eyes and
lifelike body and color detail adds to the bait’s attraction.
To rig, simply thread the 3-inch Ripple Shad onto a 1/8 to
1/4-ounce darter or ball jig head with a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Be
sure the bait is rigged straight for optimum swimming action.
For the 4-inch bait, use a slightly heavier jig head with a 3/0
or 4/0 hook.
Colors for the Ripple Shad include Firetiger, Glow/Chartreuse,
Green Back Pearl, New Penny, Pearl White, Rainbow Trout, Smelt
and Strawberry White. A package of 10 (3-inch) or 5 (4-inch)
baits has an MSRP of $4.89.
BERKLEY TRILENE TRANSOPTIC
 After
four years in development, Berkley has designed a nylon
monofilament line that captures UV rays to physically change the
line’s color, making the line a hi-vis gold above the water and
transparent below the surface where the UV rays are filtered
out. The color-changing line benefits anglers that spend their
days watching their line for the subtlest of bites. Anglers see
the line, fish don’t.
“Four years ago we saw a need for a line that benefited anglers
that needed a monofilament that could be watched,” said Berkley
Product Manager, Clay Norris. “Through efforts with our product
innovation team, we were able to come up with the technology to
harness UV rays to change the color of nylon monofilament above
water. Our team has worked extremely hard to be the first to
produce TransOptic.”
With superior knot strength, tough abrasion resistance and extra
shock resistance, Berkley Trilene TransOptic is perfect for
flipping, pitching, jigging and any application that calls for a
hard hook set. Being a monofilament, the line is easily managed
for a wide variety of baits and techniques.
Available in pound tests ranging from 4 to 25 pounds on 220-yard
spools, Berkley Trilene TransOptic has an MSRP of $8.95 to
$10.95. 2000-yard service spools are also available from 6 to
25-pound test.
Magnetic Bullet Weights® Eliminate
External Pegging
 A new innovation from Bullet Weights® utilizes the age-old
science of magnetism to eliminate the need for pegging a plastic
lure when rigging Texas-style.
New Magnetic Bullet Weights are traditional bullet-shaped
lead sinkers with a strong magnet at the bottom that allows
anglers to attach the sinker directly to the hook without any
external device.
Using a strong magnetic force, the Magnetic Bullet Weights
attach instantly to a small portion of a hook eyelet exposed
through a soft plastic bait being used on a Texas rig. This
eliminates the need to peg with line-damaging toothpicks,
crimping or screw-in devices.
Magnetic Bullet Weights will be available in natural or black
colors in sizes 1/8 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 3/8 ounce and 1/2 ounce.

PowerBait Heavy Sinkworms
Ask any pro on any circuit what type of soft plastic has
revolutionized the fishing world over recent years and
90-percent will say the weighted worm. Berkley scientists have
worked tirelessly to develop a naturally weighted soft plastic
that produces more strikes with every cast, the end product,
Berkley PowerBait Heavy Weight Fat SinkWorm and its lighter
cousin the PowerBait Heavy Weight SinkWorm.
All PowerBait Heavy Weights are created for multiple freshwater
species action and offer the irresistible PowerBait scent and
flavor that fish bite and won’t let go. PowerBait is fortified
into the bait, which creates a scent trailing leading fish
directly to the bait.
PowerBait Heavy Weights are ideal for fishing wacky-rigged,
weightless or Texas-rigged. The weighted formula allows the bait
to sink faster than conventional weighted baits with an action
that will entice the most stubborn fish.
The Heavy Weights Fat SinkWorm and SinkWorm are available in 10
fish-catching colors to match any water condition. Visit
Purefishing.com for more information.
Le Towelé
Le Towelé by the ARGEE Corporation answers the age old
question of, “Where is my towel when I need it?” The answer is,
right by your side! We all know that a towel is an essential
tool while fishing. There isn’t a fisherman out there who
doesn’t keep a towel near them at all times. Whether you are out
at sea looking for monster marlin, or in your favorite backwater
hole, amateur or salty veteran, you never know when you will
need a towel.
Le Towelé is a 14" x 16" black microfiber towel that attaches
to a retractable cord which draws back into a clip-on waistband
device. When needed, simply grab the towel, use, and let go when
done. Le Towelé effortlessly returns to your side. The
high-quality towel can easily be removed from the device and
thrown right in the washing machine.
"I got tired of searching for a towel when I needed one,"
says Robert Goldman, Le Towelé inventor “Whether I am out on a
fishing trip or cooking in my kitchen, I always have a towel by
my side that I can depend on."
While fishing, either off a boat or along the shoreline, a
towel is always needed. More often than not, something is going
to get wet and you’re going to need a towel to dry it! Le Towelé
will always be there. Need a place to wipe your hands after you
bait your line? Looking for a rag after you fillet the catch of
the day? Search no more because the solution is right by your
side.
he Le Towelé can be used in various places besides on the
fishing boat. It can be used in the house, at the gym, in the
garage or, in the yard. Le Towelé always seems to come in handy,
no matter the task.
