I'm so excited to announce that I have signed with Bagley Bait Co. for the 2016 season. Bagley Baits has been a huge part of shaping my career from the very start. I started fishing Bagley crankbaits back in the 80's and I can tell you that I have personally caught more big bass on Bagley Baits than all other crankbait brands  combined.

Bagley manufactures their baits out of Balsa Wood. This, along with their unique styling, is the recipe for the legendary action only found in Bagley Baits. Using the buoyancy of Balsa Wood as a tool allows you to make contact with underwater cover and stop the retrieve. The bait quickly rises avoiding most hang ups and triggers strikes!

In 2010 Jarmo Rapala bought Bagley Baits and introduced new models and unique manufacturing techniques. Before, the Balsa was carved out and hard wood inserts were installed to attach the hardware. Now all Bagley Balsa baits are created through the HCM (heat compression mold) process. This allows Bagley Baits to duplicate exact baits and install a through wire system that all hardware is attached to.

I will be writing more about this process here on my website this year as well as posting some video's on my favorite styles and techniques. So until then feel free to visit www.bagleybait.com or click on the logo on my Sponsor page and check out the wide variety of baits for 2016. They have styles for every depth and water color. As I've said before, I only align myself with the best products in the fishing industry and this is a prime example. Order some baits today and step up your crankbait game.

Until next time- good fishing-  Steve
