Fin-tech Title SHot Jig
The Title SHot Jig offers significant technological advancement in versatility and performance. The heart of the jig is the patented Retainer/Guard System. With pressure applied, the Retainer/Guard collapses rather than flexing, allowing the jigs full bite to come into play. Theres no fiber-guard bumping to impede jig consumption, which results in more hook-ups. The bullet-style head is virtually weedless and features a Mustad Ultra Point wide-gap hook. The Title SHot Jig will not rotate on the retrieve, eliminating line twist. It provides an excellent way to rig all soft-plastic lures, including spider grubs and tubes. The lure is available in several sizes and in Lazer Black, Lazer Brown, Watermelon and Lazer White colors. Skirts and rattles are optional.

Incorporating Side Imaging technology, Humminbirds 987c SI Combo produces picture-like images with precision and clarity not possible with most conventional sonar fish finders. To give anglers an advantage on the water and help them find more fish, Humminbird built the 987c around a 7-inch diagonal display that offers a big-picture view and bigger split-screen views. The 200/50kHz sonar provides the best possible picture of the bottom, fish and structure in saltwater or freshwater. Easy to use as well as sophisticated, the intuitive controls quickly take you to the screens you need. The 900 Series can also be upgraded and expanded with highperformance add-on accessories.
