Comments Off on IS IT REAL, OR IS IT LIVE-FORAGE®?

Bemidji, MN – The scientific concept of “cloning” says it’s possible to borrow the best traits from one animal to create its picture perfect twin.

Using advanced Digital-Imaging Technology (DIT), Northland® Fishing Tackle can now replicate real live preyfish to perfection. The result is an entirely new category of ultra-realistic lures, known as LIVE-FORAGE® BAITS. They match-the-baitfish-hatch and mimic a “young-of-the-year” minnow fry to fool even the most elusive and wary ones!
