Baby D Bomb is Born and
New Colors from Missile Baits
Salem, Va. – July 10, 2013 – Missile Baits has expanded on its very popular D Bomb flipping bait to produce a smaller version called the Baby D Bomb. The new bait is 3.65” long versus the 4.5” standard size D Bomb. The smaller bait will have all the same applications that D Bomb has including pitching, flipping, punching, and a jig trailer BUT more. The Baby D Bomb will be deadly on a shaky head. It will be offered in 8 colors including some hot colors like Super Bug and Lovebug but also a new one in Desert Storm. The Baby D Bomb should be ready for delivery in September.
“The Baby D Bomb is going to be ridiculous,” states company owner, John Crews. “When testing this bait, it seemed like a fish would swim across the creek to eat it. It is also going to be so versatile that I know lots of anglers will catch loads of fish with it and do so in a bunch of different ways. I will have one on at all times.”
New colors are also coming out in the Fuse 4.4 and the D Bomb. The D Bomb will add Green Pumpkin Blue and Desert Storm, which is a swirl color of green pumpkin with gold shimmer and orange. The Fuse 4.4 will gain the colors Green Pumpkin Blue and the unique Purple-Ish that features a smoke base with a purple clear vein in the bottom and some light red flake.
“Customers have been asking for lots of new colors so we had to give everyone something they can catch fish on,” explains pro angler, John Crews. “Desert Storm looks just like crawfish in a bunch of areas around the country and Green Pumpkin Blue is a must have color. The new twist color, Purple-Ish, was designed by Ish Monroe. It is going to be awesome for clear water, especially up north.”or videos, tips, forums, and more.

There is no other presentation that can cause bass to aggressively attack an artificial lure than fishing with a top water frog. This technique can be one of the most exciting summer tactics for catching largemouth bass in any region or lake that you fish. Regardless of the brand or design of the frog you use, the appeal to the bass is the same, a familiar silhouette on top of a lily pad or the grass matt above. Without notice, the quiet serenity of fishing in calm still water can be altered with a sudden explosion that can stop a faint heart. This is the reason that many anglers eagerly wait for fishing for bass during the “Frog days of summer”. 
No other lure is better designed for fishing heavy cover than a weedless frog, and in summer that is exactly where the big bass are going to be found. Search for shaded areas with heavy vegetation near deep water. Make long cast with the frogs onto the bank and then “hop” it into the water or onto the lily pads. In water a temperature above 80 degrees, a fast retrieve appears to produce not only more strikes, but more violent strikes by larger bass. Frog eating bass seem to attack their prey with much more intention of making a kill than eating a meal. 
Pausing until you feel the weight of this fish, and a sweep to the side will bring the bass to the boat. Quickly get the bass’s head above the slop in heavy cover to avoid losing the fish in the dense root systems of the aquatic vegetation. A higher gear ratio reel loaded with 20 -30 lb. braided line will help get your trophy to the photo shoot. A heavy “fogging’” rod is your best bet for fighting a big bass through the slop. Give this tactic a try if you can handle it. There is no other bass fishing technique more extreme unless you are in a kayak or a canoe to get right into the slop when froggin’. 
Fishing topwater baits in the summer can be both fun and productive. In the warmer water of summer the metabolism is at its highest requiring more foraging and faster digestion. Bass will strike topwater baits with an aggression that will stop your heart. This is the right time to see shad flipping on the surface and wood topwater bait mimics an injured shad better than other lures and achieves results perfectly.
The cadence of the retrieve is important in the warmer water and faster moving bait seems to be the preferred choice of bass. Establishing a rhythm with the lure greatly helps to attract the bass. The retrieve of the bait determines the rhythm and can make a big difference in the effectiveness of attracting bass. All bait fish make noises that bass can hear and feel. Predators attack and strike because of distressed sounds. Anglers should keep in mind that the sound a topwater lure makes can be just as important as how good the lure looks. Poppers create a sound that mimics a dying baitfish struggling on the surface and with its large eyes combine with natural colors and flash, the bait appeals to bass as much as anglers. The concaved mouth spits water everywhere to fool bass into striking as the action and splash contributes to the commotion on the surface.
