New to ICAST 2022 was the addition of the Anglers’ Choice Award where the angling community was invited to cast their vote on the best product coming out of ICAST – and vote they did. After earning strong respect and winning the coveted Best of Freshwater Hard Bait Category award at ICAST in Orlando for its unique build and memorable name, the Berkley Slobberknocker claimed the throne earning the first-ever ICAST 2022 Anglers’ Choice Award.
After countless hours spent on the water and in the Berkley Labs with world-class scientists, the Slobberknocker was born. This bait features an innovative through-head design that is completely unique to other bladed jigs. Backed by science, this fine-tuned bait design not only delivers a consistent vibration but is also perfectly suited to come through heavy cover while staying engaged.
“The team at Berkley Labs has worked so hard at innovating and truly making our baits the best on the market – and that’s what they did here with the Slobberknocker,” said Jon Schlosser, Berkley’s Senior Vice President of Marketing. “Our team was committed to scientifically fine-tuning this bait so it would deliver the performance we were looking for, so to see it getting the love and respect it deserves is truly remarkable. I could not be prouder of our team and this award.”
In addition, the Slobberknocker features a chip-resistant paint finish and a sticky sharp Fusion19 hook. With 12 premium forage matching colorways to choose from, this grand combination makes the new Berkley Slobberknocker the ultimate solution when it comes to fishing bladed jigs. This innovative bait is available in 3/8 and 1/2-ounce sizes and retails for $13.99 and became available in stores last month.
