A Fishing Lure Kit That Catches Everything
The DeLong Tadpole Fishing Lure Pack is one of the most versatile lure kits ever created. Whether you’re fishing for bass, crappie, bluegill, perch, pike, or even small musky, tadpoles are a natural prey species that trigger instinctive strikes from fish of all sizes.
From lakes and ponds to rivers and even saltwater estuaries, this kit gives anglers 16 pre-rigged lures ready to fish straight out of the case.
Inspired by a Moment in the 1950s
This lure pack traces its roots back to the 1950s, when founder David DeLong and his wife watched fish devouring live tadpoles along a shoreline. That moment inspired the creation of the world’s first molded tadpole fishing lure — a design that has caught fish for nearly 75 years.
Today, every DeLong Tadpole is still hand-poured, scented, and made in America, just like the originals.
What’s Inside the Tadpole Kit
This multi-species pack includes:
-
Two 3″ weedless tadpoles (weedless rig for bass & heavy cover)
-
Two 3″ double-hook tadpoles (perfect for crappie & aggressive bass)
-
Three 2″ double-hook tadpoles (bluegill, crappie, perch)
-
Three 1.5″ double-hook tadpoles (ultra-finesse panfish option)
-
Five 1″ tadpoles (single-hook panfish killers)
-
Durable storage case for easy organization
Whether you’re casting from shore, working docks, fishing brush piles, or letting kids catch their first fish, this kit offers a proven lure for every scenario.
Why Tadpoles Catch More Fish
Tadpoles are a universal food source. Fish instinctively attack them because:
-
They’re slow, easy prey
-
They wiggle naturally
-
They appear in shallow water
-
Every species recognizes them
Our hand-poured tadpoles mimic real tadpoles perfectly with lifelike motion, subtle vibration, and built-in anise scent that helps fish commit harder to the strike.
