Sharrow Accelerates Output
Sharrow Engineering is scaling production of its patented Sharrow Propeller through a collaboration with Ford Motor Company to accelerate output ahead of the summer boating season. The partnership uses advanced 3D sand-casting techniques to shorten what used to take as much as 130 days with traditional casting to approximately two weeks, while maintaining the precision required for Sharrow’s designs. Since its launch in 2020, the Sharrow Propeller has seen rapidly growing demand from recreational boaters, commercial operators, and government agencies seeking improvements in efficiency, noise reduction, and performance.

The Soft Plastic Backslide
Evergreen’s new Claw Motion masters the backsliding technique, utilizing precision salt-offsetting and a decisive, gravity-defying design to reach the once unreachable. By shifting the bait’s center of gravity toward the tail, the lure utilizes its own hydrodynamics to swim away on a slack line. Upon entry, instead of pulling away from the target, the bait hunts deeper into the darkness of an overhang, dock or brush pile. Crafted specifically for the wildly popular backsliding technique, this 3-inch tactical craw also doubles as a skipping bait, finesse jig trailer, and can be effectively Texas-rigged.
