If you're like me, you're always looking for the next inspired, innovative product line to help tip the odds in your favor when it comes to boating monster pike and muskies. Tyrant Tackle offers not only quality products, but a range of them as well. If you haven't already, take a moment and familiarize yourself with this up-and-coming company, you'll be glad you did! (Photos and additional information can be found at their website http://www.tyranttackleinc.com ) Here's what they have to say:
The Shallow Czar & Depth Czar
This new minnow bait is really going to make some waves. The Shallow Czar will be available in 5”, 7” and 9" models with an 8” Depth Czar model following shortly after.
This lure is made of high pressure polystyrene that has the density and buoyancy characteristics of more expensive balsa lures. We have added thru-wire construction, Iron Fist split rings, our short shank, wide gap, cone cut trebles and eight attractive finishes (perch, river walleye, midnight, sucker, GB baitfish, cisco, bluegill and firetiger).
Key features that will make this lure a success is the more natural, rounded body profile that helps give it the perfect balance of roll and shine. The odd numbered lengths help fill the size gap between comparable, popular minnow baits.
All of our Czars have been tested thoroughly. In trolling situations we found we statistically caught more fish with fair and balanced time on the water verses our competition. It quickly became a favorite as it is easy to throw, easy to retrieve and comes alive when erratically fished.
The Dictator
The Dictator in most respects looks like another creeper, but it is a home run. We brought this creeper to the market for a few reasons and it has taken off like wild fire with every retailer we have met with.
Like the Czar, the Dictator is made of our same polystyrene material and has a complete thru-wire construction. This little devil is tough! With that this top water never leaks and never looses its buoyancy like comparable wooden topwaters. Like all of our lures we feature the Iron Fist split rings and our wide gap, short shank hooks. Our wings are well made, sturdy and strong. We have found that under any circumstance where it has come out of tune from catching fish or hitting structure it is practically effortless to retune this bait.
Tyrant Jerkbait
The Tyrant Jerkbait will continue to be an important part of our line up with success stories starting to show up almost daily. When using our replaceable tails make sure the tails are lubricated before you take them out or replace them (water or a mixture of soap & water work best.) Our tails can be use to replace other soft plastic lures that have been damaged while fishing.
Tyrant Accessories
To follow up 2010 we have expanded our leaders to include 90# fluorocarbon which has performed excellent and been well received by our customers. We are also adding a single strand leader and a multi strand leader called Mega Strand which is stronger and more flexible than standard 7 strand while coming in an attractive lo-vis green color that will draw your customers in!
Tyrant now offers Iron Fist Split Rings in the following sizes #6 30pk, #8 30pk & #10 25pk. We also added wide gap short shank hooks to our line up sizes ranging from 2/0 to 7/0.
Check out our tools: we have available the only fish friendly JAW SPREADER, an 8” HOOK FILE and SPLIT-RING PLIERS!
Other Lures for late 2010/2011
Crusader
Tyrant is also going to offer for the 2011 season a top water lure called the Crusader. This prop style lure will be made of our polystyrene material and will feature thru wire construction. With our new designed tail section this bait will produce more vibration and plopping noise than any other topwater lure that is available today.
Navigator
The Navigator is a glide bait style lure. It will be the only one on the market made from our tuff polystyrene material with thru wire construction. Perfectly weighted and balanced for a horizontal slow sink with great side to side action. Available in a 7” model.
Weed Wrangler
This bait is designed with a hydroplaning head that allows the lure to skim over the heaviest of weed cover that muskies and big pike love. This lure will come with a marabou skirt with 40% tinsel accent. This lure will also feature a replaceable hook wrapped in shrink tubing.
LiL’ Louie
This lure is our version of the standard bucktail on the market today. What will set us apart from other lures of this type will be the marabou/tinsel body we will have attached to our 7” frame. Our sturdy construction, the keel weight system and proven colors will make this a must have for every serious musky fisherman.
Tilkytail
Two huge #10 blades, marabou skirt with tinsel accent makes Tyrant’s Tilkytail a sure stand out from all other similar bucktails. Nothing pulses in the water like marabou and with the added flash from the tinsel this surely is going to get the Muskie’s attention. Our blades produce giant pulsation & vibration.
