Sweet! I can't wait to see the fish you catch with your new rods. A nice slow action full bend rod is fun to fish.

Great question. I'm interesting in hearing what other folks do and get a glimpse of their reasoning. I almost always have gloves on when fishing. I use a thin Lycra sun glove in warm weather (preventing skin cancer) and a Cloudveil two-trigger finger glove in cold weather (keeping hands warm). I mak...

I use Force Fins (the non-adjustable model) and love them. I don't even consider the notion of using something different.

I've been remiss about working thru and documenting my journey but I've resolved to fix this oversight. So here I go: I grew up fishing in the lakes of Minnesota, mostly around Detroit Lakes. My Dad loved to fish for walleyes but would take pike, bass, bluegill, crappie and yellow perch whenever the...
