Another fishing trip is now in the books and this one went well. We went out to fish for trout and of course I took a couple of bass rigs with me so that I could test some new lures but we’ll get to that later. For now let’s just concentrate on the outing at hand. [Read more…]

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…]

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…]
Baitcasting Reel Basics
January 26, 2011 by ·
I always take a baitcasting outfit with me whenever I go fishing and our last trip for trout was no different. Even when the weather is bad I like to take a new bait or two with me so that I can use it and spend some time trying to figure out the best retrieve for coaxing fish to bite and for testing a new lure in varying conditions. This is the long way around getting to my point. [Read more…]
