Bass Fishing HOF Classic Auction |
|
With its mission of celebrating, promoting, and preserving the sport of bass fishing, the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame (BFHOF) invites bass anglers both in the U.S. and Canada to support that mission by bidding on items during its ‘Classic Week’ online auction. To participate, simply visit BidPal.net/Classic2023 and bid on a large lineup of jerseys from many Bassmaster Classic anglers, along with an assortment of fishing tackle, marine items, and many other fishing-themed gear. The auction is now live and will end at noon on Monday, March 27. Among the more unique items up for bid include pro angler Tyler Rivet’s ripped-sleeve jersey from his win at the B.A.S.S. Elite event on Lake Okeechobee earlier this year, a large list of new bass rods and reels being introduced at the Classic Expo from leading brands including Abu Garcia, Academy Sports & Outdoors, Lew’s, St. Croix, and Daiwa, along with lure bundles to fill any tackle box from the likes of Bizz Baits, Booyah Bait Co., Damiki, Missile Baits, Rapala, Strike King, and YUM. There’s also a special package for two to attend the 2023 BFHOF Induction Ceremony being held on Sept. 28 at Johnny Morris’ Wonder of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium in Springfield, Mo. where the Hall’s venue is located. “We want to offer a big thanks to the folks at B.A.S.S. for letting us be a small part of all the activities that take place at the Classic, and to all the pro anglers and companies supporting the auction,” said BFHOF Board president John Mazurkiewicz. “During Classic Week, the Hall’s Board will also be hosting its annual ‘Classic Mixer’ for past supporters, pro anglers, fishing industry executives and invited guests. This year we will also honor ‘Big Jim’ McLaughlin from Seeley Bay, Ontario with our special Meritorious Service Award.” The Hall uses the funds raised to support bass fishing conservation efforts nationwide, a scholarship program to assist students pursuing degrees in natural resource fields, and for its annual induction ceremony and dinner where it honors its most recent inductees. For more information on this year’s event taking place on Sept. 28, visit www.bassfishingHOF.com.

Missile Baits is adding to their collaboration with Roboworm to make the new 4” Mini Magic Worm. The 6” Magic Worm was introduced in 2022 and already played a part in two BASS Elite Series wins. Missile Baits is adding another fish catching size option. The 4” Mini Magic Worm has the same body proportions that make both sizes effective and easy to rig in most of the popular finesse techniques including drop shot, finesse Neko rig, Texas rig, shaky head, and wacky rig.“After all the bass I caught on the 6” Magic Worm last year, it was obvious that the worm is a winner. The Mini Magic is the natural progression for us to add. The Mini Magic is nasty on a drop shot when you need a smaller profile, but the big deal is that it is perfect on a drop shot wacky style. I promise you that I will be serving that combo when we go up north this summer,” says John Crews, BASS pro angler and Missile Baits owner. The Mini Magic Worm will come in the same 12 totally unique colors as the 6” Magic Worm that only Roboworm can pour. Some of the top colors include Green Pumpkin Money, Junebug Dream, Missile Morning, and John’s Juice. Each bag will be loaded with 16 worms (2 more worms per bag than the 6”) for a suggested retail price of $10.99. First production run is here now.

Do-it Molds & CS Coatings New ProTec Powder Paint Colors |
|
Just in time for spring, Do-it Molds once again has teamed up with CS Coatings to bring custom tackle makers the best painting solutions in the game with their 3 new colors Goby, Fire Craw, and Roadkill! Goby presents a light sand color with a hint of violet hi-lite and the perfect ratio of black and purple glitter make the new paint strikingly similar to the color of a juvenile Goby. Roadkill is a new favorite to many, because the color imitates many forages but with a twist. Its Green Pumpkin and Chartreuse base color work together to bring boldness to stained water situations, and blue hi-lites create natural flashes and reflections. Lastly, the spring color everyone has to have - Fire Craw. This paint brings the heat with its flame red base color, combined with flash and contrast of the black and orange glitters. To get some for yourself, go to Do-it Molds Website and order today!
