Bait & Accessories

Pro angler Andrew Luch says, “If you enjoy bottom fishing with consistent action, get down to your local tackle shop and give the new Mega Bite Max Shad 6 oz swim baits by Lighthouse Lures a swim. This past season I had the opportunity to sample these baits. Every time I put them on for clients they caught a wide variety of species Ling Cod, Quill Back, Yellow eye even Halibut.” The action drives any predatory fish crazy. The Max shads are equipped with two laser sharp hooks, and come pre-scented. Tactics for fishing these swim baits are fairly easy, find a drop off, significant depth change, pinnacle or rock pile, and work it. Staying straight up and down with your line is the key. Luch likes to drop them to bottom, reel them up 3.5 – 6m (5-20 ft) then drop them back down, and repeat, maintaining control and tightness of your line at all times. He exclaims, “It’s a rush when you feel the Max shad dropping to bottom then get absolutely crushed by a fish. I use them in depths anywhere from 6 to 66m (20-220ft) depending on tidal speed. These swim baits are a lot of fun to use on light rods and reels, and are a must have if you enjoy targeting bottom fish.” www.lighthouselures.com
