Most North American waters produce panfish, so it is no surprise that Bluegill, Crappie, Perch and Yellow/White Bass are often the meal of choice for big bass. The VATALION 190 is built to mimic this preferred forage with a meaty profile and seductive action to attract big bites from trophy bass to the elusive Murray Cod of Australia.
The VATALION 190 is designed stop on a dime and slide out to the left or right when the retrieve is suddenly paused. With a slow retrieve, VATALION big, jointed body exhibits sharp, quick turns for pinpoint movement through grass bed channels, around submerged weeds, and alongside structure. With fast retrieves, it tightens up and delivers a hard-hitting, high-pitch rolling action that displaces a ton of water to lure bites from distance.
The VATALION 190 has proven incredibly effective as a stop & go bait, with retrieve speed adjusted to the conditions. The irregular inertia-powered slides that occur the moment retrieval is stopped are the VATALION’s secret weapon and will elicit crushing bites from followers.

There are times when bass key in on bluegill that throwing anything else feels like a waste of time. Post-spawn into summer is one of those stretches, especially when the sun gets high and bluegill slide shallow to feed around grass, bug hatches, and shade lines. That’s when a bluegill imitator glidebait like the Vatalion […]
The Anti-Finesse Approach As mapping accuracy improves and marine electronics continue to compress competitive advantages, bass in heavily pressured fisheries have adjusted accordingly. In the forward-facing sonar era, finesse techniques dominate much of the conversation, but their widespread adoption has also made them increasingly predictable. In that environment, separation often comes not from refinement, but […]
Showing Pressured Fish Something Different One of the biggest takeaways from forward-facing sonar isn’t just what we can see now — it’s what it’s taught us to unlearn. Late-season bass and bait don’t always follow the textbook migration we grew up hearing about. As Jacob Walker points out, shad aren’t guaranteed to push all the […]
