Daiwa Kage Rod Review

Daiwa introduced their Tatula series of reels several years ago beginning with the original Tatula 100 and 100 Type R. We’ve had every major version update since then including the CT Type R and the SV. We obtained the new Tatula 100 some time last year and have been fishing with it ever since.

There are times when big topwater walking baits are key to getting bites while other situations may call for something a little less boisterous. One bait that you can use that still has a decent length to it but presents itself with more subtlety is the Berkley Drift Walker. This bait comes in ten colors… [Continue Reading]

Fishing Legend Tom Mann

March 2, 2012 by ·

All too often, we fisherman have a habit of getting after the latest trend in bass fishing. We figure out all of the techniques and tricks the pros are using on the trail these days and copy them.

We debate for hours on the validity of things like the Alabama rig.

Yet, we overlook the trailblazers of the past like Bill Dance, Lefty Kreh, or Hank Parker. Today we are going to give tribute to another one of those pioneers—Mr. Tom Mann. [Read more…]

War Eagle Jigging Spoon

February 16, 2012 by ·

We have talked about the effectiveness of using spoons to target cold weather bass. We have also talked about the differences between casting and jigging spoons. This is important for the angler in terms of choosing which spoon to use for a particular situation. The vast majority of the time, when we begin our day on the water, we are using a casting spoon.

However, when the fish are relating to the bottom and down deep, our choice moves to a jigging style spoon. One of our favorites is the subject of today’s review. The War Eagle Jiggin’ Spoon. These spoons lend themselves by their design, more to a vertical jigging presentation than casting and retrieving. Why is that you’re wondering?  [Read more…]
