If You Aren't Using Amazon Prime, You Should Be

If You Aren’t Using Amazon Prime, You Should Be

I’ve been a member of Amazon for many years now and I can say without question it has become the best major site I’ve been affiliated with ever. It is so easy to shop and find what I want there and prices are always competitive. When they introduced Prime, I signed up right away. Back before Prime was popular, two day shipping was a luxury I rarely signed up for. I’d always have to settle for…

Sufix 832 Advanced Superline – The Best Braided Fishing Line?

Rapala Makes A Compelling Argument for Best Braided Fishing Line

I first learned about Sufix 832 Advanced Superline during one of my fishing video binge watching sessions. It was a Canadian fishing show (whose name escapes me now, sorry) talking about its benefits. I had never heard of the product before and, at the time, only recently got into using braided line. I went on to Amazon and ordered…

Tauten LineWelder Review- The End of Tying Knots?

Tauten LineWelder Review- The End of Tying Knots?

What could be the most annoying part of fishing is having to constantly tie knots. You just re-spooled your reel so now you have to tie on your favorite lure. Your line broke and now you need to tie another hook on for the fifth time that day. Or maybe you need to change your leader line and need to tie on a new one? Whatever the reason, anglers always end up tying lines. Could there be something…

Best Ice Fishing Sleds for 2018

Best Ice Fishing Sleds for 2018

As we prepare for the upcoming ice fishing season, we’re reminded of just how much gear we carry out to our favorite fishing spots. Some anglers pack lightly and can throw a bag over their shoulder that will carry all they’ll need. Many anglers, however, like to pack portable shelters and other large items that would be hard to carry especially on longer distance walks. That’s why we’re taking a…

Ice Fishing Jigs Every Angler Should Use in 2018

Ice Fishing Jigs Every Angler Should Use in 2018

Ice fishing is a challenging yet enjoyable way to continue to fish even during the coldest months of the year. If you prefer ice fishing live bait, the biggest difficulty is breaking through the ice and dropping your lines. Live bait is great, but there are no guarantees it’ll attract fish. Beyond that, ice fishing becomes incredibly boring giving the angler little to do but wait for the strike.…

How Long Does Fishing Line Last?

How Long Does Fishing Line Last?

At the end of every season, anglers pack up their gear and store it somewhere not to be seen again until the beginning of spring. It’s a sad time for all of us, but it’s also a good time to think about what you’d like to add or remove from your arsenal for next year. Inevitably, you will think about that spool of line you have in your tackle box. Do you have enough to spool for next year? Or the…

My Bass Fishing Setup for 2017

My Bass Fishing Setup for 2017

Last fishing season I spent the majority of my time chasing trout and salmon. I tried a few different techniques but mainly I stuck with my trolling gear using lead core line and a downrigger in tandem. I had some success but covering a lot of water in a day takes time and I did really miss getting on the banks of small ponds and lakes and flipping buzzbaits, swimbaits and the like targeting some…

When to Replace Fishing Line

When to Replace Fishing Line

When I started fishing regularly I replaced line about every time I got a new reel. In other words, I kept line on the reel a lot longer than recommended. Why? Mostly because I didn’t know better, but partially because I assumed line took forever to break down and become a potential problem. So, do you know when to replace fishing line? Each line has different requirements, and we’ll go over each…

Best Trout Lures for Streams - Top 3 Guide

Best Trout Lures for Streams – Top 3 Guide

When I got my start fishing as a little boy, my earliest memories were on my parents boat trolling for salmon and trout on a big lake. For me, that was what fishing was all about. It wasn’t until I got a little older that I really learned how to hone my abilities and improve as an angler, but not on a boat. The education I got from fishing was all learned on small rivers and streams. It was there…

Cannon Downriggers: Targeting Big Fish Down Deep

Cannon Downriggers: Targeting Big Fish Down Deep

In the heat of the summer months, trophy trout and salmon prefer their water to be cooler and rich with oxygen. To get those conditions, they must swim deeper to the thermocline, the section of a water column that is between the warm water near the surface and the cold water near the bottom. Depending on the lake and time of year, the thermocline can be many feet underwater. So how do you get…
