Whopper Plopper

by 1 Comment

Where have I been? Late to the game as usual. I’m sure most of you have heard, have seen, or have even used the River2Sea Whopper Plopper. This lure is the real deal. It is different, and it works! River2Sea, you got me, I’m buying one or three. I just saw the youtube video from TacticalBassin and now I am hooked, no pun intended. Topwater blowups are… ...Read More

Booyah Prank

by Leave a Comment

Here we go, there is a new player coming to town and it’s called the Booyah Prank. My favorite type of fishing is topwater, whether it be a popper or a frog, I will always attempt a topwater bite every time I go fishing. I really can’t tell if I will like the concept of the new Booyah Prank. A top water popper with a lip? I am not feeling it. Of course I will have… ...Read More

Shimano Chronarch MGL 150

by Leave a Comment

Shimano is introducing the Shimano Chronarch MGL 150 for 2017. This is going to be a bad ass reel for sure. It’s at a price point that is tough to swallow unless your a hardcore fisherman or a Shimano fanboy. I personally want one, but I just cant fork over that kind of cash for one reel at this point. I took the blurb and specs right from the Shimano site so read… ...Read More

Lew’s Mach II Speed Spin

by Leave a Comment

For 2017 I am taking a different path and deviating from my normal buys and I will be purchasing a Lew’s Mach II Speed Spin reel. I was always one to buy Shimano thinking the more I more I spent the better the reel. If you have been following this site for awhile, you will remember I took the plunge and purchased a couple of $59 Pflueger President Spinning Reels. … ...Read More

Shimano Curado 70

by 3 Comments

Shimano introduced a new reel this year called the Shimano Curado 70. The Curado has always been a decent reel for me so there is always 1-2 in my arsenal. I have had many different models of the curado dating back 25+ years. New does not mean better, so time will tell if this reel will be a winner. I am going to highlight a few of the specs I found on the Shimano website… ...Read More

Seaguar flippin’

by 2 Comments

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. Low and behold, this is what I came… ...Read More

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
