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]

Dirty Jigs Finesse Swim Jig Review

I mentioned in my cold water bass fishing tips post that one of the baits that I like to use at this time of year is a jig. Nothing new there but I do have a little bit different take on the whole jig thing. I have tried a lot of different jig styles over the years and now use one more than any other, the swim jig. The Dirty Jigs Finesse Swim Jig is my favorite incarnation of this style of bait. [Read more…]

Cold Water Bass Fishing Tips

Well folks, it’s getting quite a bit cooler around here these days and from what I’ve been seeing in the news, it’s getting down right cold in a lot of places.

Now I know that the weather alone isn’t going to stop us true addicts from going fishing but it sure is going to make us switch some of our lures out to ones that we believe will be more effective during the end of this year and the first part of next.
