Slick

I have had the opportunity to use many different monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided fishing lines. I use each type of line for their specific characteristics: mono when I want some stretch; fluoro for the “sink” and ability to be “invisible” in water; and braid for its sensitivity, strength, and durability. For the longest time I used “PowerPro” braid, then tried “Vicious” braid. I loved them both, but I have found the braid that for me now sets the standard - PowerPro’s new “Super 8 Slick”.

A new disappearing act

After seeing some of the recent conversations related to jigs and jigheads in the Yakangler forums I’ve been paying closer attention to articles related to them. This weekend I came across a new product and although I haven’t tried it, I think it looks pretty promising. In fact, I’m not sure why it hadn’t been thought of before.

NuCanoe's Frontier

A few months ago Adam and I had a chance to sit down with Blake and Deanna Young. They wanted to get our input about something new in the works at NuCanoe. I immediately knew they hit the nail on the head; but I was sworn to secrecy… Well I can finally let the cat out of the bag!

New Hobie Horizontal Rod Holder

Last week I came across a post on Hobiecat.com showing a new kayak fishing accessory from Hobie. The horizontal rod holder kit allows you to mount your fishing rods securely on the side of your kayak. The soon to be released kit part# 72021060 officially holds 1 fishing rod but will allow for 2 rods “although not recommended by Hobie”.

Review: Gullwing Paddles

Being a fisherman first and kayaker second I’m always looking for something to make my paddling experience easier. So when I read the slogan of a new paddle company “Why dig when you can glide” they immediately got my attention.

A few months ago I managed to get a hold of Arthur Carlow the inventor and designer of the Gullwing kayak paddle. When I expressed my interest in this new design Art immediately sent one out to be put through its paces.
