DOOMSDAY D-HOP 75

by 5 Comments

Well, well, well, what do we got going on over here? Nothing really, just my first look at the DOOMSDAY D-Hop 75 frog from Doomsday Tackle. If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with topwater frog fishing. I didn’t say I was good at it, but I will say it is an exciting way to fish for bass. The thrill of having a fish blow up the surface of the water and inhale… ...Read More

Tungsten Price Comparison: Cheap Tungsten Weights

by Leave a Comment

Late one night I was online searching for cheap tungsten weights for purchase. I quickly realized that this was not going to be an easy task. What was I looking for? I wanted worm weights, as that’s what I fish 75% of my time on the water. I also mostly fish with my family, which means plenty of lost hooks and weights. The search for cheap Tungsten weights was… ...Read More

Bass Pro Shops, I hate you. Please stop sending me sales flyers. How can one resist a Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier 2 reel for $49? I can’t. In my moment of weakness, I ended up buying the PQE10HA version of the reel. This is the limited-Edition version of the reel. Limited-Edition for half the price? What’s wrong with this picture?

Flambeau Super Half Satchel Soft Bait Organizer Review

by Leave a Comment

I think I have finally found the perfect worm organizer. I ran across the Flambeau Super Half Satchel Soft Bait Organizer on a quest one night. Quest you ask? Yes, many years of disorganization and frustration of never finding the bait when I needed it, had to come to an end. I was on the hunt for something, but I had no idea what I was looking for. Did I want a tackle… ...Read More

Oh man, LunkerHunt is coming out with a new soft body bait called the LunkerHunt Prop Frog and I feel as though it will be my go to bait when the topwater bite is on. I am a big fan of the LunkerHunt frog. This new prop frog will have rotating feet that remind me of propellers. Picture a soft body whopper plopper with 2 tails that will be able to go through the slop. No doubt… ...Read More

SPRO BBZ-1 Rat

by 2 Comments

I’m going to start out by saying I hate the SPRO BBZ-1 Rat. When I say hate, it’s a love/hate kind of thing. For some reason, I can’t catch a fish on it. I’ve had hits on it, but every single time I hook one on, the fish jumps and spits the lure. A couple of things I have noticed is the bait tends to roll to one side if you reel it in too fast. Also on… ...Read More

Booyah Prank

by Leave a Comment

Here we go, there is a new player coming to town and it’s called the Booyah Prank. My favorite type of fishing is topwater, whether it be a popper or a frog, I will always attempt a topwater bite every time I go fishing. I really can’t tell if I will like the concept of the new Booyah Prank. A top water popper with a lip? I am not feeling it. Of course I will have… ...Read More
