The NCB Hybrid-Skirt™

The Hybrid-Skirt lure design blends together bucktail (deer) hair along with a rubber skirt. The bucktail, all of which is dyed in shop, is first hand tied onto the head of the lure. A rubber skirt is then overlaid on top, giving a unique multi-textured appearance rarely seen within the industry. The movement of the bucktail displays a "sinewy" motion, much like the fins and gills of a fish. This natural hair further works to conceal the hook, helping to mask any unnatural shine given off that may result in fish not biting. Additionally, the rubber skirt adds an outward flare to the bait, giving the illusion of a stocky appearance while retaining a nimble profile. Each lure is hand tied with high durability, waxed thread. No rubber bands are used.

NCB makes some proven baits! The Hybrid Vibe is one of the best vibration baits I’ve ever thrown. It has an awesome hunting action and comes through grass nicely. It also doesn’t get hung up easily as some others. His structure and swim jigs have produced some big fish for me as well!

When I won the ABA RAM Truck Open, I was throwing the Hybrid Vibe. After landing 40 fish (at least 12 over three pounds), the lure was still intact.

Target Species

NCB lures were originally designed with bass fisherman in mind. In recent years, however, anglers have begun using our lures in pursuit of larger species such as pike, musky, snakehead & more. Because of this, we have transitioned to using heavier duty materials (wire, thread etc) and larger sizes. As a result, our lineup consists of a variety of lures catering to those fishing for smallmouth bass up to anglers chasing musky.
