Tackle Week 2017: 10 must-have new lures for Canadian anglers

Best soft-plastic swimbait

MAGSLOWL

Most paddletails sway side to side while the tail kicks, but the Magslowl’s body is designed to stay still while the tail pulsates seductively at the slowest possible retrieve speed. Megabass created this entirely different action by carefully tapering the tail and using softer plastic. The internal magnet that secures the feathered treblehook to the body is smart, too, reducing the profile of the lure, yet adding a lifelike fin. Available in five-, seven- and nine-inch models and six colours, the Magslowl is a winner.
