If you’re like me, you like to carry around a few versatile lures that can be used for different types of fishing situations that may come up.

Macks Lure has introduced a new ‘hybrid spinner’ call hummbait. The unique lure is designed to attract fish with noise, vibration & appearance. This lure can be used for several different fishing techniques from casting, to buzzbait or even trolling.

HummBaits comes in three different sizes: 1/4 oz. (Minnow), 3/8 oz. (Smelts), and 1/2 oz. (Shad). Prices range from $3.29 to $3.99. You can pick them up at MacksLure.com or perhaps even find a deal at ebay

By Corinne Springdale During the months of May, June, and July, a great many anglers in the Gulf Coast region head to the beach to snare the Speckle Trout.  The Speckle Trout is a large trout, silver in color with olive-green tinting.  The “speckle” is given by the many small black dots that extend from its dorsal fin down to the tail.  Commonly, the Speckle Trout is between 14 to 18 inches long, and weighs between one to three pounds.  Its lower jaw is generally more prominent than its upper jaw and its mouth encapsulates two canine teeth.  Speckle Trout prefer small crustaceans, shrimp, and small fish for their diets.

I love the workmanship on these old lures, especially the paint and eyes. Circa. 1946 by Jack Martin – Drumright, Okla.

The Frantic Minnow by JLVLures is a shallow top water diver. Don’t be afraid to go after the larger salt-water and fresh-water fish with this lure.

This is a big lure measuring 13 centimeters and weighing in at 16 grams. These are made up in salt water colors as well as freshwater colors. The action is a wiggle action as most top water to shallow lure types in this profile. These paint finishes are super fantastic and priced right.

It comes with Size 1 VMC X-Strong 9650 TR, Red Treble Hooks.

At $3.49 each, they won’t break your bank if you happen to lose one.
