Hunting

Dragging jigs down steep banks… dead-sticking a worm on a flat… twitching a hard jerkbait in open water… pulling a buzzbait by a dock… dropping a jigging spoon 50 feet deep below shad… punching a plastic craw through vegetation.

A cold front blew through the mountain forest, rippling the saplings in the old hardwood clearcut and shearing the last of summer’s leaves from the trees. On the other side of the ridge, just out of sight, Buck searched the wind for scents, his collar bell jingling closer as he nosed sticky blackberry thickets and…

The new Phantom-MX takes that exceptional performance one step further with its revolutionary, compact, aerodynamic design with a .040-inch main-blade thickness for unbeatable strength and superior flight even at maximum speeds. Consistently deadly in even the most extreme conditions,…
