The TRU-LIFE SWIMBAIT is the most realistic and versatile swimbait on the market. When the money is on the line or when I need a fish of a lifetime, this is the bait I go to! - Ish Monroe Read more

The Hack Attack Frog Hook

The Tru-Tungsten Hack Attack Frog Hook design helps provide extra casting distance while landing on its belly to prevent weeds from fouling the bait. It also keeps the bait keeled to prevent rolling or rocking of the frog. The unique double hook rigging prevents plastics from pulling down, resulting in fewer missed fish. Enjoy the benefits of more hook-ups and multiple fish without tearing each plastic frog! Read more

Each bead is coated with a Duraseal coating for added durability and to match our colored weights and your plastic lure to make a uniform bait. They are lead-free and environmentally friendly. The added sensitivity will allow you to Discover the Feel and the increased loudness will allow you to Fish Harder! Read more

Tungsten Worm Weights

I have fished with all the big weights on the market and I feel Tru-Tungsten weights are the best. They penetrate cover better, the paint does not chip off and due to the fact that tungsten is smaller, you are less likely to lose fish. Read more

Tru-Life Swimbaits

Designed by Western anglers Matt Newman and Ish Monroe, the lures are the new age of swim baits. Actually three baits in one, the Tru-Life baits can be fished on the surface, mid depth range or in deep water. The lures come with - tungsten balls - that can be added or subtracted depending on the fall speed that you are looking for. Read more

They are lead-free and environmentally friendly. Read more

Swimbaits on Lake Falcon

I caught this nice bass during my practice for the season opening FLW Stren tournament on Lake Falcon in Zapata, (in deep south) Texas. I had been on a nice school of fish when I decided to put the old faithful flippin' stick down and try to see what other baits I could coax the bass into biting.

I decided to use the 7'' True-Life Gold Tilapia Swimbait, due to the bluegill model’s high catch rate on my guide trips at Lake Fork. I chose to use only two tungsten balls for the slower sink rate, rigged on 25lb florocarbon line. Paralleled the road bed’s tree line in 8-14ft. On the first ten casts I had several followers, so I backed off and cast a little further to give the fish time to commit to the bait before they were so close to the boat.

On the next cast and about half way to the boat my 8ft Powertackle swimbait special rod loaded up, and the fight was on. The fish was trying to jump out of the water but she was so fat she couldn't manage to get out anything over her head out. At that point I knew she was a good one, but I had no idea until I netted her on how big she really was. After snapping a few pictures she was quickly released to spawn and make more huge bass for the future anglers to enjoy.

Thank you,

Ish wins on the Delta

Fish Harder Companies, LLC wants to take this opportunity to congratulate Ish Monroe on his recent win in the Wal-Mart FLW Series tournament on the California Delta. Monroe credited Tru-Tungsten for his win.

"I started off with a frog bite but as the weather deteriorated I switched to flipping matted grass with a Sweet Beaver and a Tru-Tungsten 1 1/2-ounce weight with Power Pro braid line. I pegged my tungsten weight with a Tru-Tungsten Peter T Smart Peg, armed my Sweet Beaver with a 5/0 Youvella flipping hook and tossed everything with a Daiwa Steez 8-foot flipping stick.

"Quality tackle that gets the job done is the first step in putting together a winning pattern. My equipment let me get by bait down to where the fish were, feel the bite, set the hook and get them into the livewell. That's about as good as it gets!" Complete Story
