Backstabbing the Bass

  
  
  
  
  
  
backstabber

We had some time on Friday to walk around the Forrest Wood Cup Outdoor Expo and talk with some manufacturers we hadn't visited out at ICAST or that weren't there. One of those companies that we saw but just didn't have time to make it to their booth at ICAST was Backstabber Lures. They feature a line of crankbaits that have hooks on their backs instead of on their bellies. The interesting part of the baits we found was that the hooks actually swivel at the connection. The baits also feature a heavy weight transfer system. The feel like they can be thrown a mile.

They offer the crankbait in a few sizes as well as a lipless version. Check the bait out here and let us know what you think.

I've found that most baits with hooks on the top seem to harder to track properly...but this seems like a cool idea!

I've seen a few designs similar to this one lately. I would like to try one out because the design of the bait aside from the hook placement seems a little odd, which I guess is due in part to the weight system.

These lures are awesome! I have bought both the lipless and the deep diver and have caught bass on both even in the cold water. I am impressed by the action of these lures as well as the colors and quality of materials used.
