Three New Bass Fishing Shapes from Berkley Havoc
Posted by Jason Sealock on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 @ 02:50 PM
The professional anglers and designers at Berkley have been busy working on some new shapes for the Havoc line for 2012. We just caught a glimpse of the new Hawk Hawg, Smash Tube and Juice Worm from Berkley and wanted to pass these along to anglers that may be stocking up with bass fishing tackle for 2012. You might want to leave some room for these new baits.
The Berkley Havoc Smash Tube
This new concept on a tube was designed by Michael Iaconelli. The common problem folks have with tubes is unless you rig them on an insert jig head, the hollow, thick-walled body can be hard to rig weedless and still get good hook penetration. With the new Smash Tube, an angler gets a flattened tube that will rig more like a worm than a tube and give much better hook penetration. Plus they are double laminated so that the interior is one color while the exterior is another and the tentacles are custom cut to be a bit thicker for more water displacement.
The tubes come in a 6 colors, 6 tubes to a pack for around $3.49. To see more about the bait, the other color options and a quick video of the bait in a test tank, visit this link on Berkley-Fishing.com.
The Berkley Havoc Juice Worm
Boyd Duckett won an Elite-50 Major on Lake Dardanelle back in 2007 and won of his staple baits was a 7-inch power worm. He's always been a good worm angler but wanted a worm that had a great tail action at ultra slow speeds and one that wouldn't try to turn over and you pulled it through and over various types of cover.
The new Havoc Juice Worm will come in both 6 and 8-inch sizes and be offered in 20 colors to start. The worms will come 12 to a pack for $3.49. To read more about these worms visit this link at Berkley-Fishing.com.
The Hawk Hawg
Designed by Bobby Lane, this bait will appeal to the creature bait crowd. Lane spent his whole life perfecting his bass fishing skills on grassy lakes in central Florida and has made a name for himself in the Bassmaster Elite Series ranks with his ability to catch bass on plastics in the grass.
This bait features flappers, soft thin tails and bird-like wings that will give the bait a lot of action at both high speed lift and drops and slow drags or pitches into cover.
The bait measures 5-inches, comes in 15 proven colors and will come 8 to a pack for around $3.49. To learn more, visit Berkley-Fishing.com.
