New for 2025 – FishLab’s Next Generation of Baits is Coming This Fall!
by FishLab Staff August 01, 2025
It’s been an exciting year at FishLab Tackle, and we’re proud to unveil our 2025 new bait releases, fresh off their debut at ICAST in Orlando this past July. Built for anglers who demand performance, realism, and innovation, these baits are designed to deliver in a wide range of fishing scenarios, from bass lakes to coastal flats. Here's a closer look at what’s headed to tackle shops this fall and how you can put them to work on the water.
Bio-Gill Pro Lineup – Built to Trigger Big Bass
Our popular Bio-Gill family has evolved with the introduction of the Bio-Gill Pro series, which includes the:
These baits are meticulously tuned and crafted to target big largemouth bass in pressured or clear-water environments. The Glide Bait Pro offers slow, sweeping S-curves perfect for sight-targeting or open-water presentations. The Swimbait Pro is ideal for steady retrieves near structure or weed lines, while the Wakebait Pro calls fish up from the depths with its subtle topwater wobble—perfect for early mornings or low-light conditions. Available in 6 natural colors, these baits simply get bit!
Bio-Shad Indiana Tailspin – Compact but Deadly
The Bio-Shad Indiana Tailspin is a small bait with big appeal, especially when chasing panfish, walleye and trout. Its blade adds irresistible flash and vibration, making it a must-have when fish are keying in on baitfish. Cast it, let it fall, and retrieve with a slow roll or a lift-drop cadence for reaction bites. Great for ponds, creeks, or stocked lakes. Available in 8 colors to cover just about any fishery, these baits are bound to bring in strikes. Fished slow or fast, the body will not lean over like many Colorado blade tailspin baits.
Nature Series Darting Swimmer – Multi-Species Versatility
Whether you're chasing largemouth, smallmouth, or even inshore species like redfish and speckled trout, the Nature Series Darting Swimmer delivers an erratic darting action on the twitch that mimics a wounded baitfish. Rig it with a jighead and fish it around rocky shorelines, submerged grass, or drop-offs. This bait shines in both freshwater and light saltwater applications. Available in three sizes and 15 colors to cover a wide range of techniques and applications, it's a must-have for your arsenal.
BBZ Wake Rat – Big Topwater Mayhem
If you're looking to stir up some topwater chaos, the BBZ Wake Rat is your answer. This oversized, jointed wakebait mimics a swimming rodent and is built for calling up giant largemouth bass lurking near the surface. Don’t overlook it for snook and other aggressive coastal predators prowling seawalls and mangroves. Fish it with a steady retrieve for surface disturbances that scream “easy meal.”
Offered in two sizes for maximum versatility, the BBZ Wake Rat is just as at home tempting smallmouth and largemouth in pressured waters as it is drawing violent eats from musky, pike, or giant largemouth in heavy cover. It’s a high-impact tool that plays into a predator’s instincts—triggering those critical, reaction-based bites that change the game.
Rattle Toad Pro – Get Loud, Get Bit
The upgraded Rattle Toad Pro takes frog fishing to the next level. Its external rattle chamber emits a unique sound signature that draws attention, even in thick mats or muddy water. Toss it into heavy vegetation, pads, or along the edge of structure and hang on tight. The Rattle Toad Pro is perfect for those explosive surface strikes when other frogs go unnoticed.
Equipped with a full-length floating PVC leg skirt that stays on the surface, the frog creates a natural silhouette when paused. The reinforced hook system with elevated positioning and a soft, collapsible body improves hookup rates by reducing body compression and increasing hook penetration on blowups. Built for anglers who demand reliable topwater action, the Rattle Frog Pro is ideal for landing trophy bass in challenging conditions.

• External rattle system: Loudest on the market

• Full-length floating PVC leg skirt for natural movement
