SUNBLESA Waterproof Lamp Review

by

I wanted to do a quick SUNBLESA Waterproof lamp review as I’m super impressed with this little lantern. I was looking for a small, rechargeable lamp that I could use in dark spaces (obviously) that could be used anywhere. Specifically, I wanted a light I could use on my boat, Striper fishing at night, overnight cooks on my smoker, and a light source while… ...Read More

by

This is autism awareness done right. Autism Anglers and SixGill fishing got together through the Sixgill Cares initiative to help raise over $40,000 for Autism Anglers.

Line Cutterz Dual Hybrid Micro Scissors

by

I picked up a couple of the Line Cutterz Dual Hybrid Micro Scissors once I found out as I needed a replacement for my Boomerang Snips. I was a big fan of the snips, but after a while, they stopped cutting my braid cleanly and the blades started to rust. It became a struggle to cut the braid and they would fray the line. Honestly, for the price of the snips you can’t… ...Read More

Mercury Marine Avator

by

The Mercury Marine Avator concept has just been introduced to the public. While the Avator is not the first electric outboard, it’s the first outboard by a major player in the industry. The forums and social media sites are on fire as you can imagine. There are two camps, go electric or stick with gas. In my opinion, they both have their places. I wouldn’t… ...Read More
