Welcome back to another Free Product Friday.

Today we’re choosing one winner to take home this Baitsanity Gen II Glidebait Bare Bones Edition, custom painted by Thomas Nhan of Final Boss Baits.

This is a special collaboration that started as the original King Yosh. We remixed it with a smallmouth pattern and turned it into something custom, limited, and instantly collectible.

King Smallie will first be available next weekend at Summer of Smallie during our in-store event at Metro City in Sunnyvale, then later online.

But let’s get into the giveaway.

Since this is a collaboration project, we’re keeping it simple:

1. Follow
2. Follow
3. Follow
4. Comment “King Smallie” once 1-3 are done

All entries will be added to a Tackle Snob wheel, and one winner will be chosen randomly live on IG Sunday 5/24.

You have from now until then.
One entry per IG account.
IG participation only.

Sharing this post means the most.

Good luck.

Presenting King Smallie.

A top-tier collaboration between Baitsanity and Bad News Bass — built off the iconic King Yosh platform and elevated through the vision of Thomas Nhan from Final Boss Baits.

Luxury-level finish. Executive presence.
This isn’t just a custom bait — it’s a masterpiece.

First available at the Summer of Smallie event May 30th.

Built on a Gen 2 Bones platform. Hardware and tail accessories sold separately.

High gloss stickers are officially back in stock. Inventory will be limited over the next few weeks as we gear up for a heavy lineup of releases at the Summer of Smallie event.

As always, we’ll restock the website after the event, but the in-person events are always the best opportunity to grab new drops, limited releases, and exclusive products before they hit online.

Crack open your ILLUDE boxes.
Tie on your fish, lizards, rats—whatever gets bit.
CHOMP ON TOUR is LIVE.
All month long… it’s about your bite.

We received a lot of tags over the weekend—appreciate all of them. Had to share this one.

I’ve been to this historic lake twice this year and never got to fish it.

So seeing our friend Toshihiro out there in BNB…
that makes me happy in a different way.

And that majestic Mt. Fuji watching over everyone 😍
something about it just feels unreal.

週末はたくさんのタグ付け投稿をいただき、ありがとうございます。
その中から一つ、シェアさせていただきます。

今年、この歴史ある河口湖には2回行きましたが、まだ釣りはできていません。

だからこそ、友人のToshihiroがBNBを身につけてあの場所で釣りをしているのを見ると、
また違った嬉しさがあります。

そして、あの雄大な富士山がみんなを見守っている景色 😍
どこか現実とは思えないような感覚になります。

One month away.. More details coming soon. 🍻

Fresh or Salt… pick your side 🩸
