Mizmo Bait Company wasn't at the ICAST show this year but we ran into Troy Cox and Pam Cox Bolton at the show. They were telling us about their new tubes for bass anglers and we just received some samples from them of two new categories of tubes that we think anglers are going to like.
The first tubes we looked at were the the new Tri-Lam tubes. These lures feature triple laminated coloring in each tube. They look great and mimic prey a lot better than a solid color as most avid anglers know most things in the water have dark backs and light bellies with a middle tone in the middle. Whether you're talking bluegill or crawfish, these tubes are going to really mimic the prey with a profile that is already proven to be very natural to predator bass.
The second tube they are releasing is the Ish Tube. Bass anglers will remember that a similar tube was manufactured by Tru-Tungsten when they were still in business. This is an oversized bait that is made not only for big bass fishing, but also as an aggitator for bedding bass and bass on specific targets. We've often used big oversized tubes to rile up bass on beds then pitch a smaller more easily edible bait back into the bed to get them to trigger.
These new Ish Tubes from Mizmo are 7 inches but extremely soft and with better colors than the orginals. They will be fish catchers for sure. It's recommend that you use an extremely large EWG hook like a 8/0 or bigger. We also like that they are not covered in salt. Salt has a way of gunking up your Plano boxes, making packages hard to reseal and it washes off in the first cast. We wish more retailers would take the salt out of their packages.
