Fishing has changed in recent years.

Artificial baits like scented
worms and rubber lures have become all the rage.

They work that well.

Fishbites has been one of the companies leading the way.

The company's Bag O’ Worms Bloodworms partly started the revolution.

Anglers found that the scent on the artificials drew as many bites or
more than real bloodworms.

The artificial worms also lasted longer, with each worm able to stand up to multiple catches, unlike real worms.

So they became popular and the baits the company was known for.

Fishbites this year is introducing a new line of scented paddle tails, shrimp and jerk baits to the local area.

The Xtreme baits, previously introduced in the southern states,
are made to impart scent in the waters, not in the hands, like all
the baits from the company.

Plus they’re intended to last longer than similar baits, making them
more economical.

Here’s a look:

Shrimp

The shrimp
are 3 ½ inches
long, come in
packs of six
and are available
in the eight colors shown to the right. Prices start
at $5.99.

Paddle Tails

The paddle tails
are 3 inches long
and come in packs
of six. They're available
in the same eight colors
as the shrimp are, and prices start at $5.79.

Jerk Baits

The 5-inch jerk baits come in packs of five and are available in the same eight colors. Prices start at $5.99.
