THE BAIT SHUTTLE™ BOBBER allows you to deliver bait to the fish, intact, day or night. You place a baited hook and any weight inside the shuttle. When casting, the bait is protected from being thrown off the hook because it is protected inside The Bait Shuttle™. It helps you cast safely by not hooking your partner or other objects, further, and more accurately. The Bait Shuttle™ protects the bait upon impact with the water, too. After splashdown the shuttle gently turns over and the bait, line and weight are dumped out intact. We dig the Bait Shuttle, because it eliminates the loss of bait (like live minnows) into our lakes, and it encourages families fishing together, where kids can do more on their own. Both good things for our sport and our resource.

I couldn’t believe this stuff at first. Then I tried it and Real Magic increased my casting distance 10-15%! I was so impressed; I went to my friend Joe and told him “You need to buy this company” and he did.

Reel Weeds are mobile artificial fish attractors closely resembling freshwater weeds, and while the use of artificial fish attractors isn't new, incorporating the idea into a portable system is. The concept is designed to mask the otherwise unnatural profile of underwater camera cables and camera head by making them appear to be an aquatic plant. This is accomplished by attaching 4 feet of artificial weeds to the cable via simple clips called Camera Cable Structure. Not only does this make fish more comfortable, it pulls them in to investigate.
