2022 Buyer's Guide: Best $100 Rod And Reel Combos!

The 2022 Buyer's Guide Series is here!!! Today we're kicking it off with the best $50 fishing rods and $50 fishing reels ($100 per combo). Our goal with these guides is to help you make educated decisions when purchasing tackle, as well as to help your loved ones shop for you during the holiday season. Let's go!

If you've never experienced our Holiday Buyer's Guide Series the next few weeks will surprise you! Every year we take time just before the holidays to film these videos to help anglers like yourselves make educated decisions about rods and reels, tackle, and fishing equipment. We start with budget combos and work our way up to the top of the line. After that, we shift gears and work our way through tackle and equipment. These videos run 7 days per week so forget our regular schedule and get ready for a TON of awesome new content! 

If you have any questions about gear along the way be sure to ask in the comments and we'll do our best to help you. Below you'll find links to the exact rod and reel combos in today's video.

Spring Buyer's Guide: Rain Gear, Sun Gear, and Sunglasses For Fishing!

You asked for it and today its finally happening! Our rain gear and apparel buyer's guide is here! From light rain gear, to cold weather suits, to sun gear and sunglasses, we're taking a deep dive into apparel for bass fishing. If you've ever wondered what we wear, or what the differences are between the suits, this video is for you!

Rain gear is a necessity for every bass fisherman, but its also a huge investment. The wrong suit brings serious disappointment! When it comes to sun gear and sunglasses the results can be even more serious. We're all trying to protect ourselves from burns, damaged skin, and skin cancer. Are you sure your apparel is really protecting you? 

We've had years to dial in the gear we use and today we're finally answering everyone's questions. Below you'll find links to the exact apparel we wear on and off the water. All the links go directly to the items on Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed images and descriptions. If you have any additional questions leave them in the comments section and we'll do our best to help you.

Welcome to video #3 of our Spring Buyer's Guide series! Today we're looking at hard baits for Spring Bass Fishing. We're covering the best crankbaits, topwater, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, jerkbaits, etc. With such a huge category to cover, we created a short list of our "must have" baits for Spring. 

We love reaction and power fishing in Spring! If you look on the decks of our boats, you'll find them littered with hard baits. From the outside its a huge category and incredibly overwhelming, but we can fix that. Today we're narrowing it down to one or two key baits from each category that we rely on as we travel the country. Focus your time on the key Spring time baits in the best colors and you'll find success!

Below you'll find links to all the baits discussed in the video. We've listed them in the order they appeared, and even listed our top colors for each lure. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
