Hollow Belly Buzz

It seems that just about every year at Classic time Berkley kicks it up a notch with product development and comes out with a killer new product that has an impact at the Classic. Last year, the Chigger Craw and the new Berkley Trilene Professional Grade 100% Fluorocarbon line were used by top placing anglers including the winner Boyd Duckett and second place finisher and 2007 BASS AOY Skeet Reese and this year they have done it again with the Hollow Belly Swimbait. The Berkley Hollow Belly Swimbait is, you guessed it, a hollow bodied swimbait that can be rigged several ways and has already been catchin’ em. It is 5 inches long and comes in 6 great Powerbait colors. (Ayu, blue-black herring, gizzard shad, hitch, Tennessee shad, and trout) You also get a size 2 treble hook, size 5 swivel, split ring, 3/32-ounce weighted 6/0 wide-gap hook, and three 5-inch Hollow Belly bodies in each package ready to be rigged for heavy cover or open water applications.

The Hollow Belly Swimbait retails for $9.99 per kit.
