Tackle Tek Nomad XP

by Leave a Comment

I was at the Cabelas in Connecticut last week when I came across a Tackle bag that caught my eye called the Tackle Tek Nomad XP. This tackle bag is a lighted backpack with a USB Charger. You read that correctly, it has a built in 5000-mAh rechargeable USB power supply. How many times has your cell phone died while out on the water?  How about your camera?

Reaction Innovations Vixen

by Leave a Comment

One of my favorite topwater baits is the Reaction Innovations Vixen. It is a very popular fish producing, topwater bait, that for some reason was not made by Reaction Innovations for awhile. Guess what, it’s back!  I am not sure for how long, so buy 1-2 while you can. Here is the description from LandBigFish (no need to reinvent the wheel): The Vixen top… ...Read More “Reaction Innovations Vixen”

School Master Jigs

I like buying custom hand made baits from the little independant tackle maker. I am a member at the BaitJunkys Forum and love checking out the work these guys do. I made a pledge to not buy big-box store baits anymore and only try to support the little guys.  Which brings me to some nice looking Jigs I was able to buy from Eric from School Master Tackle. I purchased… ...Read More “School Master Jigs”

Irish Whip Esox Baits

by Leave a Comment

There is something to be said about the art of custom lure building. I was lucky enough to meet a guy named MuskySlayer96 from a Striper forum I frequent. His real name is Mike and he is one heck of a lure builder. On this particular forum he would post up lures that he would build and paint by hand. I can describe them until my face turns blue, but I will do them no justice.… ...Read More “Irish Whip Esox Baits”

Black Dog Shell Cracker G2

Here is a swimbait that caught my eye, the Black Dog Shell Cracker G2. I like the action of this bait and I like the fact that it is only 1.5 ounces. No special equipment needed for this bait. I will probably use my 7’6 Extra Heavy Jig rod for this. Check out the video and let me know what you think. Do you have this bait? Let me know what you think of it. Take a moment… ...Read More “Black Dog Shell Cracker G2”
