Molix Pike Shad 7.5″ – Big Brother
The latest Molix new for catching pike and large predators in fresh water is the Pike Shad 7.5″ inches, older brother of the 5.5″ version.This big jointed swimbait will be available weighted or just with body only.
It is a shad with a classical paddle tail with a realistic and unmistakable swimming action, but with some unique features as the metal blade added under the belly that produces high frequencies vibrations which attract more fish especially in muddy waters.
The position of the rigging point allow us to use this lure also with vertical presentations. The body is realized with a new plastic mix more durable and resistant. The junction between the body and the tail is strengthened by a mesh poured into the plastic.
The Pike Shad is studied for pikes and big predators with care of details and research on the most attractive and realistic colors. The “body only” version can be used with any kind of open jighead or rigged weedless to explore weed pads or heavy cover areas.
The Pike Shad 7.5” available in 6 different colors.
Length: 7.5” – 18,5 cm
Weight: 100 gr. – Only body 65 grs.

Swim Jig new debut
The new Molix Swim Jig is a free swinging jig with particular characteristics that give countless fishing advantages. It features a special “off set wide gap” hook that allows you to rig any kind of soft plastic trailer with a perfect weedless combination and reducing the leverage effect. This feature allows to cover a lot more water in search of fish in areas rich of obstacles and drastically reducing the risk of hang up.
It also offers more safety during battles because “free-swing” when the fish jump trying to remove the hook. The split ring used andspecial design of the head amplify the swimming action giving the trailer a more natural and attractive movement.

MOLIX & ICAST 2015 in Orlando, FL
Also this year Molix was present in the USA, in Orlando, Florida to attend the ICAST 2015 the most important exhibition for sport fishing products and outdoor life.
As every year, the Italian brand brings many new products. Some of them secretly guarded until the show days despite being in testing since a long time. Among the many, the one that stands out on all is the new Molix “Supernato Beetle”, a soft top water crawler with a seductive and sinuous movement. The Beetle comes from the study of the Italian designers at Molix and thanks to an intuition of the talented American professional angler Mike “IKE” Iaconelli. Another innovation that has found much interest was the “Lover Spinnerbait”, a “multi blade” spinnerbait thought by Mike Iaconelli and characterized by 3 blades and a realistic “flat head” design that increases the characteristics of swimming and sinking. The basic idea of IKE is to recreate with this spinnerbait a real “school fish”.
Also the new SS Shad 5 “or ” Special Swimming Shad ” has attracted many people, intrigued by the versatility of this shad and the system of interchangeable weights called EWC System (Weights Easy Change System).
Another important change that will see Molix at the forefront in the US in the coming months was to sign a prestigious agreement with the famous magazine “Bass Angler Magazine” who kept up the campaign for Molix lure since long time thanks to the cooperation with Mike Iaconelli.
Last but not least, finally a big thank you to all the staff at Molix USA who was the real architect of this success: Mike Iaconelli, Christian Borucki, Casey Tucker, Brigitte Leuthold and Molix USA distributors . Exceptional, motivated and professional, they have helped to manage the Molix booth with great enthusiasm and confidence for future growth.
