Time For A Lipless Crankbait Cage Fight!
March 20, 2011 by ·
One of the propensities that all us fisherman seem to share is the ongoing search for the next great bait. Even when we have one that has worked well for us for years, if something new comes out that we believe that it has the potential to out catch our “old favorite”, or add to our arsenal when the fish start refusing that bait, we run out, buy it, and get it out to our favorite body of water to see how it performs.

FishSticks Lure Enhancer Fishing Lure Scent Review
March 2, 2011 by ·
Today’s review is on one of those pieces of equipment that has evolved a great deal in the last ten years, scent. I remember way back in the day when using scent meant pouring some kind of liquid all over your soft plastics in a sandwich bag and letting your baits soak in this mess for several days before you pulled them out to use.

P Line Voltage Review
February 22, 2011 by ·
Today’s review is on the new P-Line Voltage, a co-polymer with built in UV protection. I make no bones about the fact that P-Line Floroclear has been my main line for bass fishing for a number of years. I have tried other products but haven’t to date found anything that impresses me enough to replace this line on my bass rigs. [Read more…]
KVD Silent Stalker Review
February 11, 2011 by ·
We went out trout fishing on the 4th and as usual, I took a bait-casting rod with me so that I could test a couple of new lures. The first is the one I am going to review today, the KVD Silent Stalker Square Bill 1.5 crankbait. Yeah, it’s a lot of name but was one of the baits that last year was a prototype and helped Kevin VanDam win his third consecutive AOY title. [Read more…]
Digital Fishing Scales
February 9, 2011 by ·
Today we’re going to talk about digital fishing scales as they have come a long way since my early days of fishing. Yes, I can remember the days before digital scales, I am that old and remember when all we really had for the amateur was one of those old clock face style scales that weighed a four pound fish as two pounds and a ten pound weight as four pounds. Scales, like wine seem to have gotten much better with age. [Read more…]

In keeping with the season here at MVF, our next review is on the Spro Phat Fly. This little doll hair fig is designed to be fished under a bobber and will sit dead horizontal in the water column. [Read more…]
Jackall Tungsten Jig Head Review
January 28, 2011 by ·
My last review was on the Jackall Flick Shake Worm and in keeping with that theme, today’s review is on the Jackall Tungsten Jighead. This particular jighead was designed specifically with the Flick Shake Worm in mind and in my opinion, is an excellent complement to the Jackall worm. [Read more…]
Flick Shake Worm Review
January 19, 2011 by ·
With the cold weather here in mid-January, for bass fishing we turn to finesse techniques. One of my favorite and one that has produced a lot of fish for me is wacky worming. [Read more…]
