BUYER'S GUIDE: TOP 10 FISHING AND BOATING ACCESSORIES!! (THAT WE USE DAILY)

We use these items every day, and many are critical to our success! Today's Buyer's Guide is about fishing and boating accessories that we rely on daily, but rarely mention. From mapping to life jackets, to tools, these seemingly mundane items make all the difference in our fishing and travel.

If you've spent any time at all fishing, you know that a quality pair of pliers is a "must have". We're taking that to the next level as we show you a variety of accessories that are key to our success and rarely make their way in front of the camera. Each of these is time tested and vitally important to us.

Below you'll find links to the exact items discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.

BUYER'S GUIDE: DROPSHOT FISHING! (WORMS, RODS, AND TERMINAL TACKLE)

Today's Buyers Guide is all about dropshotting for bass! Dropshot fishing is a core technique that every serious angler needs to master. Today we're exploring how different worms create different actions to help you catch fish in varying conditions. We're also exploring rods and terminal tackle that shine with this technique.

Dropshot fishing is very simple. Suspend a worm (or other plastic) above your weight and shake it to draw fish in. But that's just the beginning of this giant category! There are different worm shapes and styles, different hook shapes and wire sizes, and that's before we get into the rods and equipment. Today the guys are breaking down their favorite baits for different situations and explaining how each one should be rigged.

Below you'll find links to the baits, terminal tackle, and rods we showed throughout the video. We've listed them in the order they appeared and included favorite sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.

BUYER'S GUIDE: UNIQUE A–RIGS, ALABAMA RIGS, RIGGING TRICKS, AND GEAR!

Today we're covering new innovations that completely change Alabama Rig Fishing! From lightweight rigs you can cast with BFS gear, to completely clear rigs, there are unique offerings in this category that will take the wariest Anti–Rig fisherman, and give them something to consider.

Alabama Rigs are an amazing tool to target big, lethargic fish. The way bass react to this schooling presentation is unlike any other lure. The downside of these rigs is how cumbersome they are to cast and retrieve! We've worked hard to develop rigs that are comfortable to fish, durable, and effective.

Below you'll find links to the exact rigs, baits, and components discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
