    Don’t Be a Hater; Be a Checker with Frabill Grip-N-Check

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Lake Ouachita fishing guide Chris Darby using the Frabill Grip-N-Check to see if his crappie is a keeper.Is it long enough? How many times have you heard your fishing buddy say that to you out crappie fishing? It seems like every lake we go to has different length limits on their crappie. Unless it’s a haven for monster crappie you got to check them before putting them in the livewell. Like most crappie anglers, you may have more than one rod out with a lure or live bait on. You don’t have time to be messing with measuring a crappie flopping around. Don’t be a hater; just get yourself a Frabill Grip-N-Check fish measurer.

    Frabill Combo Kit

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Frabill Combo KitAnglers love their tools. They cut, clip, snip, chop, sear, and slash fishing line; in addition to squeezing, pulling, prying, twisting, and crimp everything from lures to weights. There are just so many things that anglers do during one day of fishing with tools. Unfortunately, no one tool can do it all. That’s why a combo kit makes sense. Two tools when put in the boat can do any task efficiently and quickly. The Frabill Combo Kit combines split ring pliers and curved forceps along with a lanyard.  Everything an angler needs in one day of fishing.

    Custom Printed Maps by MyTopo.com

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    MyTopo mapI have to admit making my own custom printed map was a lot easier and faster than I thought it would be. I was done with the entire process in only five steps. I went with a USGS topographic map of War Eagle Creek in Arkansas that is one of my favorite smallmouth rivers to fish, but I could have selected from Aerial Photos or Hybrid Topophoto Maps. Making your own custom printed map is as easy as going to MyTopo web site and following the five steps.

    Maximum Protection For Your Boat With StormPro Boat Cover

    Author: Brad Wiegmann
    A frost covered Classic Accessories StormPro boat cover

    Day one it was 68 degrees out. The sun was shining and birds singing. It was the perfect day to take the bass boat out fishing. Rolling up the new boat cover to take it off your boat you could see that the high strength polyester canvas was built for all kinds of weather. After fishing all day, the StormPro™ boat cover was rolled back on the boat and buckles snapped into place. Day two it was 28 degrees out. A thin layer of frost covered the entire tarp. This wasn’t going to be a warm day for fishing, but the weatherman promised it would warm up to mid-50 with no wind. It was going to be another good day for fishing. Rolling up the boat cover you could hear the crunching of the frost against the boat cover. Day three it had again warmed up, but was raining. It was a cold rain so I decided to run some errands instead of fishing. In three days time, my StormPro boat cover had gone through some dramatic weather conditions without allowing any frost or water into my boat.

    Church Tackle Company Walleye Board Planer Boards

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Church Tackle Co. Walleye BoardPresentation matters when you are trolling to catch fish. Too slow and they won’t bite your lure; however trolling too fast can also result in not catching any fish. Of course you can increase your odds of catching fish when trolling by having more rods out. The only effective way to do that is by using planer boards. Planer boards come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Each one performs differently. Knowing this fact, Church’s Tackle Co. designed five different model planer boards including the TX-44 Super Planer Board, Walleye Board, TX-22 Special Planer Board, TX-12 Mini Planer Board, and TX-6 Magnum Mini Planer Board.

    Heddon_Collectible_Punkinseed_Decorative_Ornaments_001_800x600

    Have you decorated your Christmas tree yet? Every year it’s the same process of getting it down from the attic then setting it up. The shorter branches put on towards the top and longer ones down on the bottom. After that you string up the lights after getting them untangled. Of course some of the tangles look like a bird’s nest you commonly get on your baitcasting reel. Round and round you string the lights. After the lights you put the star on the top. Finally it’s time to put on the Christmas decorations. They come in all sizes and shapes. Christmas balls and Christmas bells are splattered about from limb to limb. Dated Christmas decorations shaped like Santa and snowflakes can also be seen hanging from the limbs. This year though you have some new decorative ornaments to spread around the limbs of your tree. Heddon’s Collective Punkinseed Decorative Ornaments will be hanging from the tree as you open your new fishing lures, tackle boxes, rod and reel combos.

    New Mustang Survival Excels with Accel 100 Vest

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Mustang Survival Accel 100 VestHow fast is just too fast in a bass boat; 60-, 70-, 80-, 90-mph or faster? How fast does your bass boat go? Most professional bass tournament anglers have so much gear in their boats that it’s impossible for them to go over 80 mph, but there is always at least one angler who has to have the fastest boat. No matter how fast your boat goes safety should be your only concern when up on plane with unpredictable and hazardous environmental conditions possible at anytime. Every angler should wear a high quality Personal Floatation Device (PFD) anytime on the water, but what speed test rating does your current PFD have? Mustang Survival excels at designing and providing professional users like commercial fishermen, industrial marine workers, law enforcement officers, and the Coast Guard with PFDs. They also excel at designing and outfitting a PFD for anglers from recreational to hard-core professional bass anglers like Bassmaster Elite series Mike McClelland. Keeping that in mind, Mustang Survival’s newest PFD Accel 100 Vest is sure to be a hit with anglers everywhere with 100 mph dynamic strength-tested construction.
