Jackall Chop Cut Prop Bait

August 13, 2020 by jim Leave a Comment

What was I thinking buying this Jackall Chop Cut Prop Bait? Talk about catching a sucker, I fell for it. This is the dumbest lure purchase I have ever made. I am never going to throw this bait, ever. The Jackall Chop Cut looks like a lure that would work, but the reality is, it looks like its flimsy made. I don’t see this lure lasting more than a few good fish before… ...Read More

Prodigy Boats 2066 Platinum Bay Series

August 10, 2020 by jim Leave a Comment

Check out this video and pictures of the Prodigy Boats 2066 Platinum Bay Series boat. This is one sick looking boat. Prodigy boats are built like tanks. Pad hull, thick 190 5086 aluminum, 25-gallon fuel tank, and a boatload of other options to name a few. I borrowed a couple of pics from their website, but head on over to the Prodigy Boats website and check out all… ...Read More

Here is my quick UPRVR Javelin Bait Bag Review. In my never-ending quest for the perfect storage system for plastics, I think I have found a winner. Have you heard of the company UPRVR? If not, you should check them out. UPRVR products are designed and made in the good old USA. I’m a little bit old-school, and I had convinced myself that all tackle should be… ...Read More

Pure Watercraft Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW

August 1, 2020 by jim 2 Comments

Are you ready for a turn-key all-electric bass boat? Do you have $32,500 to pay for it? If so, you can pre-order the Pure Watercraft Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW. While I think there is a market for all-electric bass boats, I just can’t see someone forking over 30k plus for a tracker boat. What is Pure Watercraft thinking? I don’t think they know anything… ...Read More

Dakota Lithium Batteries

Do you guys have any experience with Dakota Lithium Trolling Motor Batteries? It’s time to replace the batteries on my Ranger and I really like what I am seeing with this brand. Are the Dakota Lithium batteries better than whatever else is out there? The price is high, but if they can deliver with what I am seeing on the Dakota Lithium Website, then these batteries… ...Read More

Megaware FlexStep Pro

May 10, 2020 by jim Leave a Comment

I am looking for some boat trailer steps, and I came across the Megaware FlexStep Pro trailer step. This trailer step looks like it will fit my needs, and the price point is not outrageous. I’ve seen the cost of some of the other trailer steps available, and they are way out of my price range. I’m not spending that much, no way. Megaware FlexStep Pro The… ...Read More

Megabass Big Gabot

I did it, I bought a Megabass Big Gabot hollow-bodied frog. As a matter of fact, I purchased two of them. In my pursuit of the best hollow-bodied frog, I came across the Megabass Gabot Hollow bodied frog while surfing on Amazon. Surprisingly I was able to pick them up for $16.57 with free shipping. I have a rule I’ve been following for a while now, I will not spend… ...Read More

Abu Garcia Zata

April 30, 2020 by jim Leave a Comment

The Abu Garcia Zata is Abu’s new sub $200 low profile fishing reel. The Zata comes in at a decent price point and can be had for around $175. The Zata is not as pricey as some other reels, it’s still up there in cost. Would you pony up for this Shimano Curado competitor? In my opinion, if this reel performs anywhere near my Abu Garcia Revo Rocket, then this… ...Read More

Here is a great video on Down Imaging Basics for the beginner. Are you as completely confused as me? Are you just trying to wrap your head around this technology? Thank goodness for people like Johnny and his Fish The Moment YouTube channel. I want to buy a new unit for my Ranger, but with all these brands, features, and options, I don’t even know where to begin.… ...Read More

Aluminum Boat Deck Extension

April 26, 2020 by jim Leave a Comment

Below is a must-watch aluminum boat deck extension done by Angling Archery. This video combines a deck extension, carpet, and vinyl installed on a Crestliner 1750 Raptor. I really like the storage area that they built for baits. This particular deck extension was designed is for the Musky hunter. I can also see it come in handy for those that throw massive swimbaits.… ...Read More
