Pflueger President Limited Edition

by 8 Comments

As you know I am a big fan of the Pflueger President reel. You can read about my review of this workhorse of a reel here. While doing some research for a new reel on Pflueger’s site I ran across the Pflueger President Limited Edition reel. I loved the colors of it, and the price point was exactly where I wanted to be. A limited edition reel for $20 more than the… ...Read More

Pflueger President review

by 4 Comments

I was on the hunt for a new spinning reel so I asked the members of our trusty forum for a recommendation. The only criteria for me was a set price, and it had to be under $75. I have more expensive reels, but I knew I could get a solid reel for below the $75 price point. After reading the member recommendations and doing a boat load of online research, I settled on the Pflueger… ...Read More

Mann’s Saltwater Ghost

by 1 Comment

Mann’s bait company has introduced a cool looking lure called the Mann’s Saltwater Ghost. This bait was designed for redfish, trout, and snook. I bet the Striped bass will feast on it too. They weigh 1/2 ounce and are 3.5 inches long. They are fairly inexpensive at $6.99 and come equipped with Mustad 4/0 doubles and internal rattles. Check out some… ...Read More

Lynx Precision System

by Leave a Comment

Knots and crimps are a nightmare. The fish of a lifetime could be lost because of failure on a knot or a crimp. I ran across the Lynx Precision System while surfing the net and it caught my eye. I have no idea how good it is, but from reading about it(very little) seems like a very cool system.  The Lynx Precision System eliminates the needs for knots and crimps? I don’t… ...Read More

Measure It Fish Scale

by Leave a Comment

I ran across this while surfing the other day and thought it was pretty cool. Now to be honest, I am not sure how I feel about it or even if it is even accurate. You know how fisherman can be when it comes to fish sizes and pictures. Think Pinocchio! Another potential issue is phone overboard. Can you say ouch? Anyway, being a techie type I would love to give this a try.… ...Read More

Tackle Tek Nomad XP

by Leave a Comment

I was at the Cabelas in Connecticut last week when I came across a Tackle bag that caught my eye called the Tackle Tek Nomad XP. This tackle bag is a lighted backpack with a USB Charger. You read that correctly, it has a built in 5000-mAh rechargeable USB power supply. How many times has your cell phone died while out on the water?  How about your camera? Say goodbye… ...Read More

Reaction Innovations Vixen

by Leave a Comment

One of my favorite topwater baits is the Reaction Innovations Vixen. It is a very popular fish producing, topwater bait, that for some reason was not made by Reaction Innovations for awhile. Guess what, it’s back!  I am not sure for how long, so buy 1-2 while you can. Here is the description from LandBigFish (no need to reinvent the wheel): The Vixen top… ...Read More

School Master Jigs

by

I like buying custom hand made baits from the little independant tackle maker. I am a member at the BaitJunkys Forum and love checking out the work these guys do. I made a pledge to not buy big-box store baits anymore and only try to support the little guys.  Which brings me to some nice looking Jigs I was able to buy from Eric from School Master Tackle. I purchased… ...Read More
