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

Boattest.com did a quick performance review and walkthrough of the 2017 Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW, and I figured I would share their video here. I have always been a big fan of the Tracker line of boats. There is a reason they are the number one selling aluminum boat and that is because you get a decent boat for the money. 2017 Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW Here is some information… ...Read More

Power-Pole Micro Anchor

by Leave a Comment

I was doing some research to see what was available for shallow water anchoring when I ran across the Power-Pole Micro Anchor. What caught my eye right away was the low price of $595. This price is not cheap, but out of what is available out there, it looks like it’s half the price of its competitor. Because I’m not here to reinvent the wheel I literally… ...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

How to Keep your feet warm

by Leave a Comment

I came across a video on youtube on how to keep your feet warm during the colder months. I subscribe to Intense Angler Outdoors and this video caught my eye because it seems that this is a cheap solution, and the theory behind it seems logical. There is nothing worse than being outdoors whether its fishing or hunting and having cold feet. I don’t care how much… ...Read More
