Welcome to Backstabber Lures

Press Releases

March 25, 2011

If you read as many bass fishing magazines as I do I would bet you have seen and read about the “Stabber” line of crankbaits from Back Stabber Lures? Bassin’ ranked it number 1 in their list of “Best New Lures for 2011”. It also made the Bassmaster magazine in their list of new 2011 lures.

To be honest even though I have read about it I have been skeptical about the lure. What makes the lure different and innovative is that the belly hook that’s on most crankbaits is moved to the back of lure. There are also swivels built into the lure so the bait spins giving you a better hook up ratio.

I have been skeptical as I said; I watched “Fishing University” today and they used the lure. It got my attention. I like to see a lure worked before I am sold. I did not see it firsthand but what I saw on Fishing University has made me want to get my hands on one. The second I do I will be writing a review. If you want more info on the “Stabber” check out their website: http://www.backstabberlures.com/.

CCBASSN Lake Anna

Dave & I spent the last 5 days in Raleigh NC at the Henry's Dealer & Manufacture Show. We purchased many items for the shop, some old faithful and some new baits.

The coolest bait of the show was Back Stabber Lures. A crankbait is a crankbait, right????

Well not any longer, Keith Ray is the owner of Back Stabber Lures and he sat down with me and went into detail about his baits. All of his baits feature a hook on the back of the lure that rotates 360 degrees on a swivel that runs down into the middle of the bait. The rear hook also rotates, not allowing the fish to use the bait as leverage to throw it. He offers these baits in shallow, med & deep crankbaits. As well as 1/2oz & 3/4oz lipless crankbaits. The Shore Store at Anna Point Marina will have the entire line of Back Stabber lures in stock soon, with the exception of the 3/4oz lipless bait. Go to http://www.backstabberlures.com/ and check them out for yourself.

If you do much fishing, you've probably run across crankbaits and may even own a few. However, no matter what brand you may be partial to, there's one thing you have to admit, crankbaits are basically the same no matter who makes them-- UNTIL now.

We had some time on Friday to walk around the Forrest Wood Cup Outdoor Expo and talk with some manufacturers we hadn't visited out at ICAST or that weren't there. One of those companies that we saw but just didn't have time to make it to their booth at ICAST was Backstabber Lures. They feature a line of crankbaits that have hooks on their backs instead of on their bellies. The interesting part of the baits we found was that the hooks actually swivel at the connection. The baits also feature a heavy weight transfer system. The feel like they can be thrown a mile.

They offer the crankbait in a few sizes as well as a lipless version. Check the bait out here and let us know what you think.

"Backstabber." It's not the sort of label you'd want to hang on yourself, so you have to figure the folks at Backstabber Lures had a pretty good reason for that choice.

Turns out they did. Defying convention, the front treble on each Backstabber crankbait is attached to the lure's back, not its belly. So when a bass chomps down, it gets a top lip full of hooks. Plus, when you're bouncing the bait off rocks or timber, you're less likely to get hung up.

Both the front and back trebles rotate 360 degrees, denying a fish the means to twist off the hook. Of course, you better hook a few nice bass yourself to test the theory.

Watch a video to see for yourself how a Backstabber works.
