Best Fishing Rod 2015

Fishing rod is used for catching simple and predator fish, especially when using live bait as bait. But if a single rod would be so universal and can be used anywhere, then there wouldn’t be such variety of models. Every rod has its own purpose, and should be used in certain situations. So before you have taken the first rod you see, ask yourself a question: where am I going to fishing? Long fishing rod allows for long casts snap and catch a big fish in places where it prefers to stay away from coast. If you need to catch at distances greater than 15 meters Match rod is required. Match rod’s standard length is about 4 meters, with a large number of rings on it. Floats can also be different. If the depth is less than 3 meters, so can cast a stationary float, and its application is always preferable. If catching depth large – then you need to install a stopper on the line, which will rise to sliding on her float. If you are going to catch fish at beach, than you have to take a special ro...

CREEP, BURN AND POP - 3 WAYS TO FISH THE BIWAA SEVEN

It probably goes without saying that swimbaits are a great way to catch that bigger, more quality sized bass. From glide baits to smaller soft plastic paddle tails, swimbaits are versatile and just flat out catch fish. This time of year, when the water starts to cool down and the bait moves into the shallows, a jointed swimbait can be your best bet to pull that larger bite from a school of clones. The Biwaa Seven (in your October Bass Box) is a perfect choice for fishing these conditions and its versatility allows you to fish it multiple ways. CREEP It to Catch the Lazy Ones If numbers is what you’re looking for, then fall is the season for you. Tons of smaller schooling bass will target the big balls of baitfish on the surface and can be pretty easy to catch. However, if you’re more interested in finding that better quality bite, cast past those baitfish balls and let your Biwaa Seven sink to the bottom. Kick it into gear with a little pop of the rod tip and then barely ...

TOP 3 TIMES TO FISH THE LIVETARGET THREADFIN SHAD

The much anticipated Swimbait Series from LIVETARGET released in 2017 has been taking the industry by storm. With the signature LIVETARGET “Match-the-Hatch” philosophy, the new swimbaits are designed to look identical to the forage they are imitating. As anglers, the goal of targeting the biggest bass in the lake is always top of mind. There are three times of the year that focusing on the Threadfin Shad bite (and fishing with the LIVETARGET swimbait) might land you a personal best. SPRING – Shad Spawn In lakes around the country that are populated with shad, an annual event occurs that is well known to seasoned anglers. Typically, the shad spawn takes place when the water reaches the mid to upper 60’s. Shad will school up in the shallows, typically at night, to lay their eggs against cover. This can be things like weedlines or reeds, retaining walls, rip-rap, rocks or other structure. Since Shad spawn at night, low-light hours, so it’s imperative to get on the water early. Use your ey...

TOP 5 WINTER BAITS YOU NEED RIGHT NOW

It’s officially here. The first day of winter. If you’re one of the lucky ones that don’t have to worry about hard water this time of year, haven’t put the boat away and are willing to brave the cold temps, winter can be a great time to catch big bass. Here are 5 baits that you need to have rigged up right now: 1. Jerkbait  – When you want to cover water in the winter, this is the best bait by a mile. You can’t move as fast as you would in other times of the year, though. Make sure to give the bait some longer pauses. Some recommend really long pauses (like 30 seconds to a minute), but others say you can find the active fish if you keep moving. 2. Alabama Rig  – Some anglers are still apprehensive about the rig, but there is no doubt it is highly effective. It doesn’t have to weigh 100 pounds, either. Get a lightweight rig or even one that is smaller and more compact, if you have issues with, or don’t have the gear for, the bigger ones. Pair it with some small swimbaits and sl...

THE SMELL OF SUCCESS - DO YOU NEED SCENT ON YOUR BAITS?

As with many things in fishing, scent is a topic of a lot of heated debate. Does it work? What kind do you use? Is there any science behind it? The answer to all of those questions really depend on who you ask, but there is definitely evidence to suggest that scents can play a key role in upping your fish catches in certain situations. Which Scent Do You Choose? You can get lost in the amount of fish attractants on the shelves at your local bait and tackle shop. There are a ton to choose from and they vary from sprays, gels, sticks, jellys, you name it. What sets them apart? Liquid Mayhem, one of the fastest growing scent companies on the market, has a unique selling point and one that makes a ton of sense. They utilize the actual real creatures that their scent is trying to imitate. If you purchase their crawfish scent, it is made with the real crushed up pieces of actual crawfish. This is a no-brainer. The closer you get to the smell and taste of the real deal, the more chance you’ll...

PRODUCT REVIEW - DUO REALIS PENCIL 110

When tasked with the assignment to review a lure, it’s sometimes difficult to maintain total objectivity. We all have our biases and any serious angler has a whole list of favorites, from crankbaits to spinnerbaits, topwater to worms. They also have a list of reasons why they like one brand over another.  I’ll be honest. I’m a Zara Spook guy. I have been for a number of years. I’ve played with different types of walking baits, but the Spook has always been my #1. I don’t even switch up my colors very often. Okie Shad is pretty much always tied on.  However, I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time fishing with a lot of DUO Realis products over the last couple of years and it’s no secret that I am a big fan of their baits. I’m completely sold on their spinbaits, crankbaits and you can’t get more precision jerkbaits anywhere on the market. So I wasn’t surprised that the  DUO Realis Pencil 110  had some features that might make me put down the other brand’s walking bai...
