HARD BAITS

CLICKBAIT

The Googan Squad Clickbait is a hybrid vibrating jig with the flash of a bladed jig. The swimming action of a scrounger, and a unique sound and vibration that fish have never felt. listen for the distinctive Clickbait Clack when the lure's blade bangs off the leading metal beads and wire. Use a simple straight retrieve and crush shallow water fish all season long. This Googan Squad Clickbait has a unique head blade design that allows you to use a fast retrieval while keeping it down in the strike zone.

The Googan Squad Zinger has a hand-tied skirt fastened around a sticky sharp Mustad hook. To help prevent line slippage, the Zinger also features a pre-rigged rubber knot stopper to keep your line from sneaking down the wire of the bait. 

Pro Tip: Bump your Zinger against hard cover like docks, brush, laydowns, and trees to help create reaction strikes from fish holding tight to the cover. This technique helps create a reaction strike from fish who may likely not have bitten otherwise. Look for areas with shallow grass, cover, or feeding fish and work your Zinger using an erratic retrieve, slowing down in cool water while speeding up in warmer conditions.

LIL JUICEE JIG

GOOGAN SQUAD POPPIN' FILTHY FROG

The Googan Squad Hound is a tight walking topwater bait with a cupped mouth for an added splash as you bring this puppy in. It's equipped with three sticky sharp, black nickel treble hooks, with a feathered back hook to help fool fish and keep them pinned. 

While at rest, the Googan Squad Hound will sit with its backside down, which gives the back feathered treble hook a chance to sit just below the water's surface for added yumminess to nearby fish. Built with internal one-knocker style rattles, the Googan Squad Hound makes plenty of noise to draw in a big bite.

Available in a variety of Googan approved colors that add to this doggy's swagger. Fish the Googan Squad Hound around schooling fish, across points, shallow water flats, and any other open water areas where bass are ambushing baitfish.

Gear Recommendations:

• REEL:         Baitcasting Reel
• ROD:         Green Series Go-To Casting Rod
• LINE:         Googan Monofilament Line 15lb
• OPTIONS:  Googan Squad Split Ring Pliers

Pro Tips: 

Throw the Googan Squad Hound when bass are actively feeding on baitfish, especially during cloudy days or low-light situations. It's best to leave a bit of slack in your line when working the bait, so when you pop your rod tip down it allows the Hound to effectively glide back and forth. Over the top of submerged grass, shallow points and shell bars, and shallow flats are all great spots to chuck the Googan Squad Hound.

Bumper

The Googan Squad Bumper is a double Colorado-bladed spinnerbait designed to thrive in cold and dirty water, but is also a key lure for night fishing or a deeper summer bite when searching for reaction strikes. When the waters cold, bass generally don't want to chase food very far. This bait can be reeled in at slower speeds than a willow-bladed spinnerbait to provide bass with the right presentation. Stained or dirty waters provide a similar scenario: When bass can't see far, they use their lateral line to sense whats around them. This heavy thumping spinnerbait sends a vibration through the water that allow bass to key in and strike. Tie you on a Bumper Spinnerbait when the big girls are chilly or hunting in low visibility and reel her in slow-n-steady to entice mondo bites.  

• The Bumper has a hand-tied skirt
• Sticky Sharp Mustad hook and double trailer keeper for soft plastic trailers
• To help prevent line slippage, the Bumper also features a pre-rigged rubber knot stopper to keep your line from sneaking down the wire of the bait.

When fishing in clear water, this style of bait can cause fish to follow before biting. Experiment with your retrieve cadence to find what triggers strikes.
