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.
Restocking Rods at Anglers Inn
Any competent angler could have a fantastic trip to Anglers Inn with the provided rods. Additionally, traveling with a rod tube is a major pain in the ass. Don’t do it unless you’re prepared to be hassled and disappointed. I’m in a position where if a few get messed up I’ll be unhappy, but it won’t change my life. That means it’s time to restock my toolbox down there. I’ll be flying to Mexico with a rod tube for the first time since 2016. Here are the sticks I’m bringing.
Post-El Salto, Pre-ICAST Tackle Warehouse Unboxing
As we’ve written before, we keep a hefty stash of tackle at Anglers Inn for our return visits to the lake, but after each trip we undergo a semi-methodical restocking. Our June 2022 trip amplified the need to order some more hard baits and swimbaits, and fortunately Tackle Warehouse started a sale just a few days after our June 25 return. Check out what I bought and why.
