We've even got tackle storage and functional apparel! Let's go!!

This buyer's guide is all about quality bass fishing gear! We've got a strong focus on finesse, though the Megabass Destroyer LT doesn't fit that mold. Whether you're looking for a new rod or reel, a bait that will get bit when others won't, or a better way to store tackle, we've got you covered! These review allow our inner tackle junkies to run wild, but they also offer a unique look into the constant refinements this industry is making to stay ahead of heavily pressured fish and changing conditions.

Early Spring Tackle Review! The Best New Baits And Gear For 2024!

These are the hottest new items in bass fishing for 2024! We've been testing a variety of new gear the past few months and these are the clear stand outs! From the new Shimano SLX A 70 Casting Reel, to new underspin colors, and a variety of baits, these are the best new items we've found! Let's take a look!

This is our 1st gear review of 2024 and we couldn't be more excited! There were a lot of late Fall launches this year and we've been busily testing gear throughout the Winter.
