Cordless knife goes anywhere!

September 26th 2011 01:32
Berkley Turboglide
If you eat the fish you catch, you're going to have to clean them and fish are always better if you clean them ASAP. Now you can fillet your catch as soon as it comes out of the water with Berkley's Turboglide Lithium-Ion Fillet System.


Yeah, I know it sounds like a razor commercial but if you tried the first cordless knives and wrote them off as low-powered or awkward to hold, this offering from fishing giant Berkley was made with you in mind.

Berkley's Turboglide Lithium-Ion Fillet System checks in with with long-lasting battery power with a 7.5" blade to make short work of most fish out there and has an ergonomic hand-contoured design for optimum comfort and control. Better still, the lithium-ion battery weighs less than similar NiCad batteries, charges in about half the time, and lasts longer!

The whole system includes the knife, a folding cutting board, a molded, zippered case, and a charger.

Depending on where you shop, you're looking at around $100 USD for the whole deal. If you're into shore lunches, this may be just the thing you need.



Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!

Save your minnows with O-tabs

August 10th 2011 20:54
It's really a drag to finally get some time to go fishing only to find that all of your minnows have died on the way to your favorite spot. You may have an aerator but, those squiggly little critters have died anyway because once again you tried to carry more minnows than is recommended for the bucket.

Otabs and bucket
Aside from cutting numbers, you may want to try O-tabs. Otabs release thousands of bubbles of oxygen when dropped into a bait bucket and replenish the oxygen consumed by live bait. About three dozen, one inch minnows require an OTAB about every five to twelve hours. More or fewer needed according to weight, kind of bait and conditions.

What IS Bakelite

June 12th 2011 01:44
If you have an old reel lying around and you think it's a hunk of junk because it made from plastic, it may be highly collectable because that old plastic may be Bakelite.

A lot of people know Bakelite is some kind of rubbery plastic but are at a loss to know much about it.

Upgrade your reel handle

May 1st 2011 01:19
Here's an ad that popped up in my in-box the other day.

New fishing equipment comes out every other day so I'm not real crazy about promoting items unless I use them or it's one of those "Why didn't they think of this sooner?"

WD-40 as a fish attractant

December 31st 2010 01:03
WD-40, fish attractant, fish oil
People often look at WD-40 as a fish attractant. One big reason for this is the myth that the product contains fish oil.

Although the exact formula is a secret, I can safely say the product does not contain fish oil. Like similar products, it is petroleum based and using it as a fish attractant is would be similar to pouring oil into the water. In other words, it's not the best thing to do even if it worked for grandpa.

A new design for crankbaits

October 14th 2010 17:22
If you do much fishing, you've probably run across crankbaits and may even own a few. However, no matter what brand you may be partial to, there's one thing you have to admit, crankbaits are basically the same no matter who makes them-- UNTIL now.

Invisible swivels for invisible line!

August 22nd 2010 00:13
I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. It can be a real time waster but, every now and then, something pops up that may be of value--like the ad I saw for a product called InvisaSwivel by Aquateko.
Invisa Swivel


I'll be honest and admit I haven't used InvisaSwivel yet but it looks pretty promising and I think it's definitely a piece of tackle whose time has come. After all, fluorocarbon line has been on the market a while and it pretty well disappears under water. But, I've often wondered, what's the point of using it if the swivel you use is made from a metal that remains visible and announces itself to the fish?

An end to tangled rods

July 5th 2010 05:47
Sometimes you don't think of product until you need them or, in my case, AFTER you need them.

Stick Jacket, fishing rods
It's a real pain in the neck when you have a bunch of strung rods and go to move them and they're all tangled together. I doesn't matter if you have several rods, a few or even just one rod because if you put it in the back of a pick-up truck or a rod locker with a few rods from your friends, you're inviting trouble because the rod tips or reels get tangled in the line on the other rods and you end up untangling the mess and even, possibly, creating weak spots in your fishing line.

A neat toy from Berkley

November 18th 2009 23:39
There's no denying Berkley's Gulp! is one of the best artificial baits on the market. However, it does have its drawbacks. It's got a pretty bad odor and it dries out.

Good news! You don't have to worry about those problems any more thanks to the Berkley® TEC™ - Gulp! Alive!™ Bait Management System.
