ICAST hasn't even started yet, but several companies have already announced entries into the "fuzzy bait" category - a term I coined back in December when I predicted many companies would be coming out with "fuzzy baits".  Now they're all calling their new baits "Fuzzy" something.  LOL

 

Here it is as a reminder:

 

 

 

Beetle spin did this 15 years ago.  I guess I was actually ahead of the trend for once in my life. 

Pulling rubber strands through soft plastics isn’t new but the dice bait are!

Good prediction on the “Fuzzy” baits Glenn👍

I have been fishing these awhile (Dice, Cue Bomb, Imo Kamushi, etc) and they work well. So was just a matter of time before they become popular in the US.

 

Same thing with bug baits (mushi).

 

Been fishing these this year. 

 

I just bought some Geecrack cue bombs and imo kemushi’s to try out. Almost picked up some of those hideup Coike shrimp thingies… I figured I’d wait and see…

Is that a fuzzy missile baits d bomb on the right in that thumbnail??

It's crazy.  So many companies jumping on the "fuzzy bait" category I termed.  Yamamoto, Strike King, Big Bite, Baitcave, and many more...

 

This is Yamamoto's lineup:

I haven't paid any attention to the fuzzy baits.. that is until I just saw the fuzzy yamatanuki. I am fully sold. 

I’m intrigued by the fuzzy nugget. Different than a dice bait I think…

Fuzzy Nugget would be a great band name
