A few evenings ago, I was searching around for the newest ultralight rods and reels to see what’s available on the market today.

This mini crankbait has been out for a few years now, but I have never heard of it. So, it’s new to me. It’s called the ScatBack and it’s made by Storm. It seems like a great tiny crankbait to add to my ultralight fishing arsenal. Watch the video, and you can see for yourself. …
