Evergreen SB-125

by Leave a Comment

Like I honestly needed to buy an Evergreen SB-125. I have enough lures and baits to open my own store, but because I’m a sucker, I ended up buying two of these baits, because God forbid I miss out on the biggest bass of my life. There’s only one person to blame for this and it’s Bill Quatrucci, owner of BiCO Jigs. We’re heading down to Mexico, and Bill posts… ...Read More

R+A custom Baits Bloodline Swimbaits

by

I picked up some R+A custom Baits Bloodline Swimbaits for my upcoming trip to Mexico. A top producer down there at Lake Baccarac is the Alabama (umbrella) rig. Another little known secret is that a little bit of chartreuse goes a long way down there. That being said, as I was scrolling down furiously on my Instagram app, I came across these sick looking paddle tail… ...Read More

Mercury 5hp Propane Outboard

by Leave a Comment

It’s been about a year since the Mercury 5hp Propane Outboard was introduced. I figured a year later we would have some solid real-world reviews and a boatload of information on it. There is hardly anything online except for one start-up test from Christopher Di Francia on YouTube. Check out his propane test below. The idea seems brilliant. The same propane… ...Read More

Hydro-Turf, The Carpet Alternative

by 2 Comments

Instead of carpeting your boat, you might want to consider Hydro-Turf. Hydro-Turf is the carpet alternative I’m going to choose when I modify my next boat. The beauty of Hydro-Turf is you can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on the front or rear deck, on your seat benches, or if you feel like going all out, you can do the whole boat. Hydro-Turf Why would… ...Read More

6th Sense Vega Frog

by 18 Comments

Is the new 6th Sense Vega Frog going to be the new goto hollow body frog?  I think so. I hope the Vega frog performs as good as it looks. I’m not a fan of the Lunkerhunt frogs anymore as they just don’t last. A couple of failed hook sets and the hooks drive into the hollow body and they’re toast. They end up filling with water and don’t swim right… ...Read More
