TACKLE

The Googan Baits Bandito Bug puts off an insane strike-enticing action the second it hits the water. Designed with a unique kicking action, the Bandito Bug gets its drawing power from the highly engineered flanges attached at the tips of each arm. This patented design will help call in fish and trigger strikes when other baits simply cannot. While in motion the Googan Baits Bandio Bug looks like a swimming craw or minnow and while at rest the infused ''Slaunch Sauce'' scent will be enough to convince any on looking bass to take a swipe.

Is your favorite soft bait the Bandito Bug? Do you wish that it would fit better on a smaller jig? This is perfect for you. At 3.3" the Junior Bandito Bug is perfect as a jig trailer or for the picky fish that just won't bite anything else. The same fish-catching design as the original 4" Bandito Bug just scaled down to 3.3". With clamshell packaging, every bug comes out perfectly ready to fish. Patented flange makes sure every appendage has the perfect action to catch some true mondos.

The Googan Squad Klutch lipless crankbait is designed for a realistic and tight wobble to mimic swimming baitfish and fleeing crawfish. Fish the Googan Squad Klutch all year long but this bait will really crush in the Spring and Fall when bass are putting on the feedbag. In the spring, tie on Sriracha Craw Klutch to mimic the look of crawfish which bass are typically dialed in on. In the fall a Sexy Shad patterned Klutch will be the deal for fish feeding on schools of baitfish.

The entire Googan Squad designed each of the mouth-watering colors and the crew over at the Catch Co. moved forward with execution. Collectively, we’ve created a series of crankbaits that will stand out from the pack. 

Gear Recommendations:
Googan Squad Fluorocarbon 10-17lb
Medium to medium-heavy power casting rod with moderate action
6.3:1 - 7.3:1 gear ratio casting reel

Pro Tips: Use the Googan Squad Klutch to create reaction strikes by reeling over grass beds and ripping the bait out of them. Also very effective across points, flats, and anywhere else fish are actively feeding on baitfish.

The Googan Squad Thicc jig is a flipping jig designed for use in thicker cover than other jigs can handle. The head is pointed, to go in and out of cover easier. Plus, the weed guard and hook are both beefed up for fewer snags and better hookups. Tie on the Thicc Jig whenever targeting thick shoreline laydowns or punching through emergent vegetation. Built around a heavy-duty hook finished off with a hand-tied skirt, the Googan Squad Thicc Jig is built for the mondos. 

Pro Tips: Use the Thicc jig when you are fishing heavy cover, setting strong hooksets, or fishing around extra big bass. Once you detect a bite make sure to give a HEAVY hookset in order to drive this hook home. You should also really lock in your drag to help prevent the line from slipping when you set the hook. 

Gear Recommendations:

Googan Squad Fluorocarbon 15-20lb Googan Squad Braided 30-50lb

7’0”-7’6” Medium Heavy-Heavy Casting rod

6.4.1 - 7.3.1 gear ratio casting reel

Each Juicee Jig comes with the weight size painted on its head for easy identification. The Juicee Jig also features a U-shaped weed guard that helps prevent snags while increasing your chances of hook up. Built around a Mustad Hook, the Juicee jig features a hand-tied skirt and a double-pronged trailer keeper.

Pro Tip: Skip the Googan Squad Juicee Jig under docks and brush to target unpressured fish. Skipping a jig will take some serious practice but getting your rod tip as parallel and low to the water as possible the better. Skipping a jig is like skipping a stone, you want to cast low, be parallel at release, and use something flat.
