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.
Hideki Maeda, ebay killer
If you’re a bass angler you may not know the name Hideki Maeda, but you definitely know his work. He’s developed some of the most storied topwaters in bass fishing history. I won’t name the “originals,” but in several key cases he’s managed to reclaim the molds or designs.
Special Gifts for Mom on Her Fishing Travels
OK, if you’re reading this now and haven’t bought your Mother’s Day gift, don’t despair – it’s not too late. There are plenty of readily-available options, especially if she likes to fish and travel.
Can You Kick It? (Yes, We Can)
Our friend Hideki Maeda is perhaps best known for his love of frogging, but he’s also responsible for several of the best hard topwaters ever made, most recently the Teckel Kicknocker. Now you can buy the Kicknocker 10 Year Anniversary Series in a handful of limited colors.
Bass Fishing and Dessert Go Together Like Cake and Ice Cream
If you cannot live without either fishing or desserts, fortunately they’re two great tastes that taste great together. The Floating Worm has been recreated to resemble the nostalgia of the old school Bomb Pop popsicle. The swimbait-obsessed team at Lateral Vision has gone down that same route in partnership with Basstrix. The list of sweet bait names and colors doesn’t stop there.
