The Slab Caller is built for shootin’ docks, long-line trolling, and vertical jigging. The thick chenille-wrapped body adds bulk, action, and can even hold scent to help seal the deal.

B'n'M Fishing Diamond Series Jig Pole is one of my go-to rods for just about any situation. Available in 8’, 10’, 12’, and 13.5’, it has the backbone, tip sensitivity, and balance I need to feel the bite and handle the slab.

With MOVE’s Stealth Steering Drive and next-gen brushless technology, I can slip into spots quietly and stay on fish without making a scene. It’s whisper-silent control that lets me move through the water like I’m part of it.

I keep the Baby Shad Swim’R in Hummingbird color ready when the water gets murky. It gives off just enough silhouette and action to grab a crappie’s attention.
