The Outdoor Gear We Recommend
We may have a little bit of a hoarding problem. Good gear need not be expensive, but it has to improve the experience in some way. Whether it’s the right rod, a certain bait, or the world’s best rainsuit, we’ll give unfiltered opinions on what we use and why we use it.
No tackle shop on earth provides more specialized gear for bass than Tackle Warehouse. If you want it, they've got it in stock — whether it's a proven winner or the newest items on the market — and their service is exceptional.

Four Lures for Spongeworthy Situations
I still have lures that don’t get used unless it’s an important situation, and they never get loaned out. There will come a time and a place for all of them. I just hope that I’m neither too cautious nor too cavalier, and that when they’re eventually gone I can be satisfied that they lived up to their special purpose.
