Virginia Bassmaster Elite Series angler John Crews announced today that he's launched a soft-bait company called Missile Baits.
“This is a project I've been planning for quite a while,” he said. “The designs are all custom, unique, and exactly what we need on the pro tour. If Missile Baits are good enough for me to compete with on tour, we know we'll be providing anglers of all skill levels with soft plastics that they can have success with and immediate confidence in.”
The initial lineup includes five offerings:
> D Bomb – a 4 1/2-inch beaver-style bait with a ribbed body and flappers designed for extra action.
> Tomahawk – an 8 3/4-inch double ribbon tail that gives extra action in a proven-sized worm.
> Twin Turbo – a 3 1/3-inch twin tail grub that can be Texas-rigged, fished as a jig trailer, etc.
> Drop Craw – a slender, 3-inch crawfish-shaped bait designed for fishing on a drop shot.
> Missile Craw – a 4-inch crawfish-shaped bait with a uniquely designed hook slot for solid hookups. It can be used for punching, pitching, or even on a shakey-head.
California pro Ish Monroe will be a member of the Missile pro staff.
"Over my career, I have gotten very particular about what's on my line when money and championships are at stake,” Monroe said. “The designs we have with Missile Baits are dialed in perfectly. I can’t wait to use these new soft-plastic baits across the country."
The MSRP for the baits is $3.99 per pack. More info is available at www.MissileBaits.com.
