I want to thank Aaron for allowing us to publish his article here on TinBoats.… ...Read More
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

TinBoats member H20hawgs captured on camera the first fish landed on his SeaArk 2072 jet jon. Talk about catching Big Stripers on big shad, this is no joke. Video was captured using a Sony HDR-Az1 mini. Not a bad little camera in my opinion, not bad at all. Good job H20hawgs, I hope it’s the first of many more. Read all about the report by clicking here.

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
I just read that Kiddie recalled some plastic valve disposable fire extinguishers. Take a few minutes now and go check, this is important. In an event that hopefully never happens you want to make sure you are somewhat ready if it does. The failure of something like fire extinguisher is not an option in my opinion. You can read about the recall and the models affected… ...Read More
