Whitaker’s obscure bait

“Here, take a pic of this to give everybody a look.”

Jake Whitaker retrieved this bait from his tacklebox and I snapped a pic with my iPhone. You’ll see the sharper version soon in our Top Lures of Lake Chickamauga gallery.

It’s from a Patrick Sebile designed series of baits called Hyperplastics, which imitate various predators. Whitaker is using the Dart Spin Pro. It features a patent-pending screw system with a swivel and blade, and molded in paths for easy rigging. All you need to do is add the swimbait or jig head. Whitaker is using the latter, a jig head weighing 1/8 ounce.

Whitaker is also using a Keitech FAT Swing Impact 2.8 swimbait on a 1/8-ounce jig head.
