I am going to highlight a few of the specs I found on the Shimano website… ...Read More

Seaguar flippin’

Catch a fish or catch a fisherman? That’s exactly what crossed my mind when I saw Denny Brauer on TV pitching Seaguar flippin’ fishing line. I get it, he’s paid to push product and it’s all about marketing. Does it work? Sure, I was interested, I did some google searching and I hit the Seaguar website.

Damiki Noisy MTB Buzzbait

by 2 Comments

I need to stop surfing the net so much because I come across lures like the Damiki Noisy MTB Buzzbait. I used to build my own buzzbaits for the fun of it, so buzzbaits were always part of my arsenal. How often do I use them? Hardly ever, and if I do it’s only for 5 minutes unless I start catching fish right away. I’m sure you know what I mean, right? The thrill… ...Read More

From my cold dead feet! Oh my, now I’ve seen it all. If I catch any member of this forum wearing these shoes, you will be banned for life. This has to be joke right?  Who would wear these? At least my camo crocs are accepted as the norm. These? Never!… ...Read More

Premium Cooler Market

by 10 Comments

What is going on in the Premium Cooler Market these days?  This is crazy if you are to ask me. Back in the day it was the old trusty Coleman. These days you have premium cooler companies popping up left and right trying to get you to shell out big bucks for something that is likely going to get stolen out of the back of your truck. Are they worth it? No idea, I’m not… ...Read More
