The latest collaboration between legends Yuki Ito and Katsutake Imae (“IxI”) features a stout-bodied design that incites super-shallow monsters with an intense, high-frequency vibration that provokes instinctive, aggressive strikes. As water enters through the head intake during retrieve, it’s compressed inside the body and thereby accelerated—intensifying vibration pitch while stabilizing the lure’s linear trajectory. At high speeds, dual ducts under the gill plates expel water downward, generating lift that counteracts diving force to keep BLOWLY in its target range. $19.99. megabassusa.com

Overtex features parallel spooling which is a precision winding method that reduces kinks and surface irregularities. The line moves straight when taken off the spool and the surface is excellent. $18.99-$24.99. sunlineamerica.com
