Product Reviews for members by the members is what we really like and want here on TinBoats.net. Unsolicited reviews allow you to make decisions on what you are buying, not just paid product pushers cramming product down your throat.

Throwing a Jig

by Leave a Comment

There is no technique I want to learn more than throwing a Jig. This technique is a curse for me and no matter how much time I dedicate to it, I just don’t “get it”.  What am I missing? I don’t know. I will tell you what though, I have secured a private lesson with one of the best Jig experts out there and his name is Bill Quattrucci, owner of Bico… ...Read More

Big shout out to the folks at the Aluminum Fishing series for sharing this video on their Facebook Page. If you are on Facebook make sure to like the TinBoats page and… ...Read More

Pflueger Lady President Reel

by Leave a Comment

I picked up the new style Pflueger lady president reel for my wife to match with the beautiful Jase Shadow spinning rod I got at the local sports show over the winter. Now, some of you might ask why I would pair up a $60 reel with such an awesome rod? The answer is quite simple, the Pflueger President Reel is a great reel for the price range. Check out all the online retailers… ...Read More
