The Tremor Shad, a swimbait made by Jenko Fishing (the most well-known of the brands contained in this box, the company was founded by Coleton Jennings, of bass fishing renown) comes with a curious concept of a jighead, fitted with a plastic spoon to create the effect of a diving motion during a retrieve. Still, a mere two hooks in a package seems a little frugal - I’d usually expect three-five hooks. This helps prevent tearing holes in fish’s mouths and the ensuing loss of many a bass that comes from using a large barb. Further, an offset bend in the hook and a sized down barb give this hook a novel shape, designed to aid in fish retention. The two-pack of hooks by Zoneloc come with an endorsement from Bassmaster Classic winner Alton Jones on the packaging, which may or may not mean anything, but they appear to be titanium, and it can’t be ignored that they are perfectly suited for the Big Bite Worms that were also in the box. ![]() It is a simple staple for bass fishers worldwide.

The shallow-diving crankbait, a “Baby Bite Dr” by Danish lure manufacturer, Westin, is a deep-diving shad imitation. I received a small shallow-diving crankbait, a package of scented rubber worms, a two-pack of worm hooks, a shad swim bait with a steel-weighted jighead, and a small somewhat experimental metal spoon with a spinner blade attachment. The good news is, that’s usually the cheaper stuff. The box contained mostly lures and hooks, so you may still want to outfit yourself with some terminal tackle like swivels, snaps, weights, and leaders. Mystery Tackle Box does a commendable job of offering a thorough selection of lures. My box came with everything you’d need to try fishing in each part of the water column, and while it’s unclear whether this was intentional, or whether it would be the case in every box, this one was remarkably practical. The box itself is adorned with a ruler and a set of “keeper” requirements (per species) to enter your catch on Instagram for a prize. It might be a little sophomoric, but it’s helpful information for the novice. ![]() Mine included little introductory tidbits about solunar fishing, how to fish crankbaits, and a reminder to bring TP along with The box has a simple cardboard exterior, but the modern look of the Mystery Tackle Box logo gives the box a surprisingly sleek appeal for a box catered to fishers.īeneath the goods, there’s a small informational booklet with tips and tactics mostly pertaining to when and how to fish.
