LJ's Mortar Weight

After a year of testing and tweaking – the new “Mortar” drop shot weight is something special. It falls true and when on the bottom, has better feel. Comes through brush and rock with ease and due to the design, it’s smaller in size. Sizes: 3/8 and 1/2 oz. 5 per pack

Tri-Color Worms

Simply put, these 4.5" Tri-Color laminate worms are awesome! They are poured with scent infused with a little bit of salt too. The concave bottom traps air and helps the bait to float out flat on the drop shot and "slide" on the SpoTaker Shaky Ned heads. 10 per pack

Ball Jigheads

Designed for our Swimmers – these ball heads run true and have LJ’s wire “J” bait keeper so it doesn’t tear up the head of the bait. Super sharp Laser 3/0 medium wire hook grabs and holds on tight. Many use for Shaky Head fishing too!

Swivels

$3.99

This #10 swivel is tiny but features a 50 lb test rating! , Eliminates line twist on the drop shot by rigging it about 2' above the hook and on our spoons by attaching to the split ring. Easily handles a braid/fluorocarbon line connection. 10 per pack

Weedless Ball Jig Head

Excellent when swimming through 40’ tree tops or 2’ brush. Cast it in and around blowdowns or around stumps, rocks, and brush piles with our 3.5” or 4.25” swimmers. 3/8 oz 3 per pack

Bend-It Spoons

Our spoons fall true when fished vertical and awesome on schooling fish. Make a long cast and skip it across the surface or swim it on a fast retrieve – then kill it to let it sink a second or two…or cast and let it sink then hop it off the bottom or through suspended fish. Bend-it a little to get a slower fall with an erratic fall. NOTE the extra colors in the silver prism pic are reflections. Weight: 0.625oz or 5/8oz White/ Silver Prism White/ Blue Prism

Hand-Poured Soft Plastics, Proven on Pressured Fish

Lanier Baits are handcrafted soft plastics engineered on Lake Lanier — one of the most heavily pressured fisheries in the country. When a bait fools Lanier’s spooky, educated spotted bass, it tends to work just about anywhere you tie it on.

We carry the Lanier lineup at Backroad Baitz & Outdoors — finesse baits hand-poured for lifelike action and built tough enough to survive fish after fish instead of tearing on the first bite.

Fishing pressured water yourself? Downsize and go natural — a light drop-shot or a Texas-rigged finesse worm in a subtle color often out-produces anything flashy. Fish it slow, keep contact with the bottom, and let the bait’s tail do the work on a semi-slack line.

Not sure which color or rig to start with? Check our FAQ or get in touch — we’ll point you in the right direction.
