Easy-to-walk bait for any level of angler
Sebile has created the Sebile Flat Belly Walker, a walking bait that any angler can walk with ease. Available in 3.5- and 4.25-inch models, the Flat Belly Walker offers clean, crisp, side-
to-side movements with its flattened belly. The design was inspired by a surfboard since they glide on the water effortlessly due to their hydrodynamic design. The same princi- ple has been applied to the Flat Belly Walker and is what makes it so easy to work with. The design is ideal on calm days but also great when weather is rougher and a stable body is needed to work efficiently. Internal beads increase castability and present a loud knocking sound for more reac-
tion strikes in dingy water. The bait is also equipped with the Xternal Weight System that allows for a lower center of gravity, higher buoyancy and better tracking stability. The Sebile Flat Belly Walker is priced at $6.95 and offered in 10 colors. Visit

Wesmar BioLight attracts fish
Looking to attract fish? The
Wesmar trawl sonar sleds include a new BioLight option for luring fish to the line. The two trawl systems and five
trawl sleds give trawlers the option of selecting the frequency that best fits their fishery and net size and type. Both the Models TCS785 and TCS385 trawl systems include net profile and sounder capabilities, and the TCS785 also includes forward scanning. Working depth for the 785 is 1800 meters and for the 385, 1000 meters. The BioLight option includes three additional crash boots all translucent. One each in
clear, blue and green and they all allow the bright lights to shine through. Software with this option allows the captain to control whether the lights are on and if so whether they are steady or flashing or simulating the bioluminescence of jelly fish. The concept is that bottom fish may be attracted off the bottom ahead of the footrope, the net will then fish more efficiently and capture fish that would otherwise be lost. Power to the lights comes from thethird wire so no batteries are required. The BioLight feature is a $250 option on a Wesmar Trawl system. Visit
