Top Performers - Bass Fishing

BASS FISHING
Most tackle companies make a “category” of lures. Mann’s is one of the few companies in America that makes all different kinds of fishing lures including soft plastics, hard baits, hollow-body baits, spinnerbaits, and other lead baits. Because of our great diversity, Mann’s has you covered from TOP to BOTTOM and ready for any situation on the water.
They’re all you need for bass fishing anywhere, anytime! Take a look at these top performers:

| Diving Crankbaits |
Go2 Series
The new Go2 Series encompasses the durability and performance fishermen love about our Depth+ crankbaits, but with graphics, finishes, and undeniable realism that will entice fish like never before.
From holographic bodies and 3-dimensional eyes to extra strong hooks (red/front -- black/rear) and patented lip design that controls diving depth, every Go2 15+ and 20+ is loaded to the gills.
Go2 15+ 1/4 oz. size, 2-1/4" body length. Dives to 15 feet.

DEPTH PLUS SERIES – 15+, 20+ and 30+
Mann’s set the standard for deep running crankbaits when the 20+ was introduced in the 80’s. The Depth Plus series features floating, rattling divers that run to pre-detemined depths to 30 feet…the deepest running crankbait in it’s class. The exclusive Davis Lip System on each of these baits allows for greater depth with less resistance than you’ll find with other crankbaits on the market.

C-4 Elite Series "Crashbait"
One of the hottest trends on the tournement trail today is "power fishing". Top pros have learned that "crashing" larger size crankbaits off of shallow structure is a sure way to provoke strikes from big bass. In addition, this technique allows them to cover lots of water and fish something different than traditional spinnerbaits and soft plastics. Introducing Mann's newest power crankbait... The C-4 Elite Series.
This big and wide bodied crankbait will dive to 4-feet and it's square lip is designed to allow you to crank it through areas that you'd normally hang-up.
The C-4 Elite Series from Mann's -- top quality, awesome performance, great colors, and premium hooks... all at an affordable price. |

Sometimes the fish want a different look. Stretch Plus lures dive almost vertically for maximum time at their designated running depths. These tru-tracking , high-impact, plastic construction baits feature internal rattles, two-stage Davis System lip, and a strong two-piece body design. Compare their diving performance to other crankbait brands – they’ll win every time!

| Surface Crankbait |
Waker Elite Series
The Waker Elite Series is Mann’s newest ultra-shallow running crankbaits. Even the very popular Baby 1-Minus Elite Series, which runs a maximum of 12” deep, seems like a “deep diver” compared to the new Waker.
The Waker is designed to run only 1-3” beneath the surface no matter how fast it’s reeled. As the name implies, it creates a large wake and bulge, a look that heavily pressured fish seldom see. It’s not uncommon to see fish make their own wake as they charge the Waker for explosive strikes.
The Waker’s perfect size of 3 inch length and 3/8 oz. weight enables anglers to make very long casts and cover lots of water. It is equipped with premium red hooks, a textured body, and is available in 12 hi-tech colors and patterns.

Reel fast and it will dive to approximately 12 inches. Available in 3 sizes…Baby 1-Minus, Mid 1-Minus, and 1-Minus. Also available in the minnow shaped Stretch 1-Minus series.

| Soft Plastic |
HardNose™ Series
New soft plastics stay put on the hook!! — Mann’s PATENTED HardNose™ series are the only one-piece soft plastic baits with a harder plastic head. This innovation solves the aggravating and time-consuming problem of soft plastic lures slipping down the hook. Because the head is harder, the eye of the hook stays firmly in place—even when working through brush and weeds. For the first time, anglers don’t have to use special hooks, toothpicks or even glue to hold their baits in place! Also, the harder head resists tearing enabling anglers to catch multiple fish on the same bait and ultimately saving them money. Now with even more S.P.I.C.E. scent!
Mann’s HardNose™ is available in a NEW 10" Snake, NEW 9" Worm, NEW 6" Wonder Worm, 5” Swim Toad, 3” Craw, 6” Worm, 6" Psycho Worm, 6” Lizard, 6” Jerkbait, 5" Finesse Worm, 4" Tube, 5" Freefall Worm, 4 1/2" Mosquito Hawk, 2 sizes of Mullet (saltwater), and 3 different sizes of Grubs.
And now available, the brand-new Hardnose 5.5" Swimshad. |

The Jelly Worm®
The #1 selling worm of all time. Introduced in 1967, it’s soft, lifelike texture has never been surpassed. It’s slow waiving tail coaxes bass to strike, and the straight body design comes trough brush and weeds without hanging up. Available in a multitude of famous colors and scents in 6”, 8”, 9”, and 12” sizes.

The Dragin® Swim Worm
Used by Michael Iaconelli to win the 2003 Bassmaster Classic, the Dragin Swim Worm’s paddletail creates a big vibration in the water. As the name implies, it works great when cast with no weight and simply reeled back at slow retrieve. Experiment with retrieve speed – it can even serve as a buzzbait. For a different look and vibration, you can cut a slit in the tail. Top to bottom, there’s no wrong way to fish this winner! Available in 5” size and coated with Mann’s proprietary S.P.I.C.E. scent. |

The Augertail Worm
It was one of Sports Afield Magazine's "Top 100 Bass lures" in 1989 and is still catching state record largemouth in 1999. Its special "auger" feature makes the tail kick and flicker.

The Shadow
The ultimate jerkbait! The Shadow walks, darts, flashes, and flutters just like a crippled baitfish. Rig it flat (not upright) Texas Style and weightless and twitch your rod to make it look like a struggling, vulnerable baitfish. This bait will even skip across the surface like a fleeing shad! Avaialble in 4.5” and 5.5” sizes in a variety of top producing colors. |

| Hollow Body Lures |
The Phat Rat™, the Phat Phrog, and Super Frog™
Talk about heart-stopping topwater explosions! These baits are all made to throw in the very thickest cover…lilly pads, moss, grass, and brush. Experiment with your retrieves depending onhow aggressive the fisha re. Sometimes they like it worked fast across the grass, other times it works when paused in holes in the cover.

Little George®
The Little George still catches fish today just as it did in the 60’s. This legendary sinking tailspinner, available in 5 different sizes, is perfect for schooling fish and for “ripping” near the bottom.
The Classic™ Spinnerbait
Hank Parker won the 1989 Bassmaster Classic on this bait, thus the name “Classic”. But after nearly 17 years it remains unchanged. Why? Because it simply catches more fish than other spinnerbaits on the market today! The bait is packed with quality features, but the main reason is the super thin wire and Indiana blades which produce incredible vibration on the retrieve. The next time you need the ultimate “slow roll” spinnerbait give Hank Parker’s Classic Spinnerbait a try. Available in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 oz. with trailer included.
STONE JIG™
Developed by Mike Iaconelli, the Stone Jig features a ridged head. The ridges cause more water displacement and a different vibration than a traditional round-head jig. It’s stand-up head makes the bait great for skipping under docks. It also features a 30-strand fiber guard and premium silicone skirt. Available in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 oz. sizes in 9 popular colors.
