Introducing BIB Sauce: The Blueback Herring Killer from Bent Rod Fishing!
 
Dominate blueback herring fisheries with BIB Sauce—the custom-laminated soft plastic bait color from Bent Rod Fishing! Meticulously designed for anglers fishing Buggs Island (Kerr Lake) and any water where blueback herring are the primary forage, this lure is engineered to perfectly replicate the look of this essential baitfish.
(A Note on the Name: We extend our thanks to Buggs Island Brewing for allowing us to use "BIB Sauce"—a signature (and delicious) sauce at their local brewery—as a nod to our roots and the local fishing community!)
 
The Perfect Blueback Herring Imitation
 
The BIB Sauce color combination is laser-focused on mimicking the natural flash, subtle blue hue, and light belly of an injured or vulnerable blueback herring. When fish are keyed in on this specific forage, this is the color you need.
 
High-Contrast 2-Color Laminate Design
 
This bait features a high-fidelity 2-color laminate pour that delivers realistic contrast and visibility in the water:
Top Half: Light "Baby Blue" (No Flake). This subtle, matte blue perfectly captures the cool, muted dorsal color of a blueback herring. The absence of flake ensures a more natural, lifelike silhouette that won't spook pressured fish.
Bottom Half/Belly: Bone Base with Black & Silver Flake (Cookies & Cream). This light, realistic underbelly provides sharp contrast. The black and silver flake mimics the delicate, flickering shine and scales of a herring's vulnerable underside, triggering aggressive reaction strikes.
 
Designed and Approved for Blueback Fisheries
 
Built specifically with the demanding conditions of Buggs Island and surrounding blueback lakes in mind, BIB Sauce delivers the precise visual cues predator fish are hunting for.
