CHICK MAGNET CRANKBAIT: Strike
King’s flat-sided crankbait, the winner of the freshwater hard lure category at the 2021 ICAST Show, has a thin body design and a circuit board lip. This makes for a tighter wiggle and the perfect fish-luring action. The Chick Magnet is ideal in the 3- to 6-foot depth range and excels in cool water, when fishing pressure is high, or after a weather front has made finding a bite more challenging. It costs about $10.

unique-looking buck on his deer lease in Colorado County. The deer had a third beam on the right side of his head and extremely tall and narrow antlers with 13 points.
“I had just harvested a spike and was fixing to get out of the blind when this buck walked out,” Connealy said. “I had never seen this deer before and realized quickly that this buck’s antler characteristics were rare. Knowing that this would be a one-ofa-kind trophy, I took the shot.”
Ismael Lerma Jr. also harvested an interesting buck during a hunt on a ranch near Brady, arranged as a retirement gift for him from the company he has worked with for over 16 years.
“I was watching a really nice buck from the blind I was hunting in when this huge nontypical buck walked out,” Lerma explained. “He gave me a shot at about 200 yards, and I took it. The wild looking buck scored over 300 inches, and it’s a memory I will never forget.”
“What an awesome retirement gift.”
