Rumble B (Purple Wonder)
Inspired by experienced Scandinavian trollers for fisherman who want to catch big fish. The unique swimming lip on this crankbait causes water to flow over the shoulders of the bait eliciting a rocking motion that sets off visual flash along with a steady hunting action. Use medium tackle to feel the swimming action of the bait. Available in three sizes to cover a range of depth from 8′-25′ deep. Trolled at steady speeds, the Rumble B swims with a rolling action ideal for deep, slow moving fish; a fast troll provides a quicker action that is irresistible to active fish. Get ready to rumble!

Northland Fishing Tackle® — EST. 1975
In 1975, a young Northwoods fishing guide named John Peterson started pouring jigs and tying tackle for his guiding clients in a small remote cabin in northern Minnesota. The lures were innovative, made with high-quality components, and most importantly were catching fish when no other baits were working! The word spread like wildfire, the phone started ringing for Team Northland®… and the Northland Fishing Tackle® brand was in hot demand!
