YUM Unites Swimbait Efforts with Scottsboro Tackle Company
Scottsboro Tackle Company had a problem. A good problem, but a problem, nevertheless. Their exceptionally natural hand-poured swimbaits became so sought after among bass fishermen that they couldn’t produce the most popular sizes nearly fast enough! Scottsboro contacted YUM with a proposal of YUM producing injection molded swimbaits, using Scottsboro’s exact shape, to deliver outstanding swimbaits for bass to far more anglers and at a reduced cost.
The result was the creation of the YUM Scottsboro Swimbait, which is available in four sizes and 10 colors, with two sizes featured in YUM Scottsboro Flash Mob Jr. Kits.
Developed in Scottsboro, Alabama, which overlooks Lake Guntersville, the Scottsboro Swimbait mimics a shad fabulously and is engineered to create just the right amount of tail movement and a slight roll as it comes through the water. The body shape is also sufficiently slender to suggest an easy meal.
If you’ve roamed the swimbait aisle in any major tackle shop, you know there are many options, including quite a few with somewhat similar appearances. Certain swimbaits stand out, though, and outproduce others when put to the test on the lake. That’s when word spreads, causing demand to surge. That is the Scottsboro story.
The YUM Scottsboro Swimbait comes in 3.0-, 3.5-, 4.0-, and 4.5-inch sizes, with all sizes featuring the same shape and proportions and delivering the action and natural colors of a hand-poured swimbait, but with added toughness and more widespread availability. All four sizes are available in 10 colors: Sight Minnow, Sexy Shad, Rainbow Shad, Baby Bluegill, Tennessee Shad, Sunny Bluegill, Silver Flash Shad, Blue Pearl, Electric Blue Chartreuse and Black Back Shad.
YUM Scottsboro Flash Mob Jr Kits, which include a Willow Leaf Flash Mob Jr, five 1/8-ounce jigheads with 3/O hooks and five YUM Scottsboro Swimbaits, are available with 3.0- and 3.5-inch baits and in the Sight Minnow, Sexy Shad, Rainbow Shad and Baby Bluegill colors.
MSRP: YUM Scottsboro Swimbaits, $5.99; Yum Scottsboro Flash Mob Jr Kits, $19.99
