For use at real and mock scrapes, Wildlife Research Center introduces Active Scrape New Technology Time Release Formula.

Pair it with the Wildlife Research Center's Magnum Scrape-Dripper, which keeps your scrapes active by adding fresh scent to your scrapes daily. And, since Scrape-Dripper drips during the daytime only, it also conditions deer to come to the scrape during daytime hunting hours. Active Scrape New Technology Time Release Formula is available in 1 or 4 oz. amber glass bottles. Combo package includes Magnum Scrape Dripper and 4-oz. bottle Active Scrape.

YUM's new F2 (Ferocity Squared) Attractant contains certain amino acids and enzymes that baitfish produce when stressed or panicked, a trigger that prompts bass to strike. Because it's water-based and not oil-based, F2 doesn't float up and away from the bait, resulting in a strong scent trail leading directly to the bait. F2 is infused into most of YUM's soft plastics and is available in a convenient spray. Tactifiers added to the liquid allow it to actually penetrate soft plastics, essentially super-charging them with strike-provoking attractant. F2 will actually penetrate soft plastics. Put a tablespoon of it in a worm bag and the next day it will be soaked into the worms, super-charging them with scent. MSRP, F2 8-ounce spray bottle $8.99

SpiderWire has combined high-density fluoropolymer strands with the highest grade of Dyneema, "The World's Strongest Fiber," to create the new UltraCast FluoroBraid. What makes this so unique is that it is similar in density to fluorocarbon lines, allowing the braid to sink. Now anglers can get a more direct line to the lure for improved sensitivity, instead of the arch created by braids that float. FluoroBraid also handles heat well, is flex tolerant, has increased tensile strength and provides a quiet delivery through the guides. The line is both color-wear and UV resistant. Moss Green UltraCast FluoroBraid is available in pound tests/monofilament equivalent diameter of 10/2, 15/4, 20/6, 30/8, 40/10, 50/12, 65/14, 80/15 and 100/20.

New From Berkley, three soft-bodied flipping baits. First up, Pit Boss, an innovative new twist on the creature bait. Specifically designed by B.A.S.S. Elite Series Pro Skeet Reese and the Berkley bait design team, this tough bait can be fished in the harshest and most demanding fish habitats. Uniquely ribbed body allows for greater hook up rates, and the multiple appendages stir up more water, giving fish a reason to come investigate. Designed to be fished Texas rigged or as a trailer, the 4-inch HAVOC Pit Boss has a lifelike texture, four active tails, in 10 colors to match any water. MSRP, per 8-count package, $3.49

The HAVOC Grass Pig provides both versatility and action. Fish with a weighted belly hook to throw around brush or through the cover. In deeper water, slow the bait to attract bigger fish. Even at a slow retrieve, the Gras Pig's back-and-forth roll gets bass to bite. Available in 10 colors, the HAVOC Grass Pig is equipped with a large paddle tail that causes significant water disturbance. Ribbed sides allow the Grass Pig to move through the water with lifelike action. It also gives fish a larger profile, yet retains all the action needed to draw attention.

Designed by B.A.S.S. Elite Series Pro Michael Iaconelli and the Berkley bait development team, the new HAVOC four-inch Devil Spear and its spear-shaped tail will catch fish off guard–then catch them for real. "I can fish it many different ways, and the design is completely original," says Iaconelli. "I wanted a bait that could be fished easily in heavy cover and have great action on the fall. We came up with a segmented tail to create a flapping or whipping action. The Devil Spear is tough, but retains all the action." Available in ten colors. MSRP, per 8-count package, $3.49 https://www.berkley-fishing.com/
