Do you have a bunch of money? Do you have a bass angler in your life who deserves something (or several somethings) really nice? Well, you’re in luck, because there are plenty of pricey items that will show someone you’ve been thinking about them and that you’re willing to put your money where your mouth is.

Back in the day, when I fished in winter I coveted the snowmobile suits and motorcycle helmets the older guys owned, but now I can stay every bit as warm with gear that’s faster-drying, more comfortable and lighter, allowing me to stay more mobile and to fish longer.

The Yeti One Gallon Water Jug is an amazing piece of technology that is worth the price. It’ll prevent you from getting dehydrated and stand up to any abuse you can dish out — and it comes in great colors.

Elite Series pro Matty Wong has learned to rely heavily on spinning tackle. The most bubbafied bassers often seek a “one size fits all” approach to buying finesse rods. That’s a mistake. You need rods for both moving baits and bottom contact, sometimes in a variety of powers.

During the 2024 season, Brandon Palaniuk cashed a check during a tough tournament on Alabama’s Smith Lake using a lure that’s not yet widely available in the United States – the Megabass Makippa. Here’s his treatise on how and where he fishes it.

I gravitated to the Bajio Paila sunglasses for a few reasons: First, I’d really enjoyed the Bajios that I’d tried before. Second, they were ORANGE, which is my favorite color and while I have lots of black and tortoise frames, I didn’t have anything in orange. Finally, after reading reviews I suspected that they’d fit my head really well.

Like many bassheads, I first became aware of the Roboworm color known as “Morning Dawn” during the 2010 Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Lanier. Since then the color has become a staple in clear water situations, especially but not exclusively when spotted bass are in play.

When most bass anglers first encounter the Megabass Dark Sleeper, they assume that it’s either a swimbait or a jig. For two-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier Kenta Kimura, it’s something different altogether: One of the best squarebill replacements he’s ever found.

If you’re looking for a slow-sinking hard bait that’ll tempt wary bass feeding on small baitfish, Matty Wong has a solution. It’s the Megabass Karashi Twitch Bait, which can be fished in a variety of ways, from a dead stick to a wild twitching cadence.

By now, most serious bass anglers know about the “fuzzy dice lure” and its success on tour. Many think it’s a gimmick, or not worth the money, but Alabama pro Jacob Walker says that it’s become his money bait, the one he turns to especially when times are tough.

It pays to sign up for all of the relevant tackle companies’ email lists – to ensure that you’re aware of all sales and drops. I didn’t expect Tackle Warehouse to offer 20% off for about a week in October, but I’m glad they did. Check out what I ordered.

If you love fall fishing – and particularly night fishing – then October 31^st is right in your wheelhouse. Fortunately, the good enablers at Tackle Warehouse sell plenty of lures that fit right in with the Halloween spirit. Here are 9 that fit this spooky holiday which would work fine on your next fishing trip.

If you fish in trout-occupied waters – whether they’re recently stocked or long time residents – you might also consider some topwaters that replicate the forage. Here are five ways to scratch that surface itch.

The Megabass Ito Shiner jerkbait looks like just a slightly larger version of the Megabass Vision 110, but it has a different action and excels in different circumstances. It’s been one of Brandon Palaniuk’s secret killers for years, but he’s finally willing to let the cat out of the bag.

Since 2007, Sexy Shad has become an industry standard. It’s a great shad or universal baitfish imitator, and the little bit of chartreuse seems to be a bite trigger. KVD has ridden it to millions in winnings. Meanwhile, Strike King has built out a Sexy Shad empire. Here are some of the variations..

Most of the time when we use Yeti products it’s primarily for functional purposes. Their coolers and insulated drinkware are likely the best-known products, but if you’re looking to imbibe or celebrate in other ways, check out these lesser-known items from the catalog

We received so much positive feedback about our initial interview with charter boat mate and aspiring bass pro Dylan Schmitt that we knew we needed to go back to the source. Click on the video to hear what Dylan throws when the pressure is on.

Most of my buzzbaits are black or white, with silver or gold blades -- masterful simplification or am I missing some key options to trigger more bites? Here are the Tackle Warehouse "oddballs."

After the annual BFHOF banquet we spend time with our friends the Morgenthalers and the Mansues. While Pete has fished with Dave Mansue before, this year Dave was lucky enough to take both of us out. On the way to the lake, I asked what we’d be throwing and was told “football jigs and glide baits.”

Judging by the new product intros, tilapia fishing lures remain in demand. It’s mostly for anglers in Texas, Florida, of course Mexico and perhaps South Africa, but the best imitations might have universal appeal. Here are six more to add to your arsenal.
