Bullet Weights® Screw-In Weights Now Offered in Ultra Steel®
ALDA, Neb. – The highly popular Screw-In Weights from Bullet
Weights® are now being offered in Ultra Steel®. Introduced to
the Bullet Weights lead product line last year, the Screw-In
Weights are designed especially for anglers who like to peg
their weights when using a Texas rig for fishing.
On the bottom of the steel
bullet-shaped sinkers is a stainless steel “corkscrew” device
that makes it easy to thread on a plastic bait and hold it in
place next to the weight, thus eliminating the need to peg the
weight which can cause line damage. All of Bullet Weights
Screw-In Weights include a plastic insert that is essential to
prevent the line from twisting around the corkscrew (which can
cut the line) when applying the bait or at hookset.
“Our philosophy continues to be to offer anglers the widest
array of sinker options possible,” Bullet Weights President Joe
Crumrine said. “Our lead Screw-In Weights have been in high
demand so we wanted to offer anglers the advantages of non-toxic
steel in that same sinker.”
Because of the “hardness” quality of steel, the weights offer
more sensitivity, less deformation and have more fish-attracting
noise than lead counterparts.
Bullet Weights Ultra Steel Screw-In Weights are available in
natural or black color in the following sizes: 1/16 oz, 1/8 oz
and 3/16 oz. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price is $3.55
per 4-piece clam pack for natural color and $3.90 per clam pack
for black.
Headquartered in Alda, Neb., Bullet Weights is a leading
manufacturer of fishing sinkers and accessories. They offer
fishing sinkers made of lead, steel (Ultra Steel®),
tin (Ultra Tin®), tungsten
and brass. Bullet Weights products are available in fishing
tackle retailers, sporting goods stores and sporting goods
departments of mass merchants. For more information visit

Gamkatsu’ Skip Gap Hook
The new Skip Gap Hook from Gamakatsu is the hook every dock
skippin’ Bass angler has been waiting for. Many soft plastics
will slide off of the offset or simply come off when thrown hard
against the water in an attempt to skip it under a dock.
This is especially true on really hot days when the plastic
can get extra
soft. This unique patent pending hook is designed to hold soft
plastics firmly in place so that no matter how hard you throw
it, the plastic bait stays put. Unlike other hooks that have
attempted to do the same thing, there is no special rigging
required for this hook. Simply Texas rig it like any other wide
gap style hook and it’s ready to go. The wide gap is built to
handle thicker baits like tubes, but is also ideal for stick
type baits and regular soft plastic worms.
Owner’s unique TwistLOCK™ have “Spring-On-Shank” (SOS-patent
pending) and are attached to the hook’s eye for incredible
“non-slip” bait-holding power when fished in grass for
hard-hitting bass. These hooks are available in 5132, 5135 and
5136 models.
Perfect for weedless-style Carolina or Texas rigging, these
hooks make sure the nose of the worm is “permanently” secured by
screwing it onto the TwistLOCK™ coil spring before the final
positioning of the hook point.
These hook’s “open” gap with parallel point allows for more
positive and effective hook sets. Features include a standard,
all-purpose forged wire shank, Super Needle Point, and black
chrome finish.
Innovative
Textiles has introduced a new color in its PowerPro line called
Phantom Red.
To understand
the fishing benefit of this new braided line one must understand
the behavior of light as it penetrates water. As line descends
below the surface, water absorbs the wavelengths of light
selectively, one by one, as depth increases.
Red is the first
color to disappear, at a depth of 15 feet (which is why
underwater photographers often use red filters to restore red
colors in their pictures). While many factors such as total
light intensity, water clarity and time of day or year can
alter the depth to which colors are visible, one thing is
constant: PowerPro’s commitment to the serious angler.
Amazingly, most
fish can see in color, even distinguish complementary colors
and up to 24 spectral hues with many species possessing color
vision similar to that of man. But Phantom Red gives fish a
false perception of reality and its appearance becomes a mere
apparition.
Other Power Pro
braided lines include: PowerPro Ice Line, Downrigger
Replacement Cable and Hollow Core.
Sampo ball bearing swivels are the highest quality in the
world and provide anglers with maximum protection against
twisted and tangled lines. A Sampo ball bearing swivel is a must
for trolling, big game fishing and spinnerbaits. They are
available in either nickel or black finish.
