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?

According to the website, InvisaSwivel has the ability to self lubricate since it's made from modern materials. In fact, InvisaSwivel in't even made from metal so you don't have to worry about added weight or rust!


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

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.

Can you say, "FISHOUFLAGE?"

September 27th 2009 17:01
If there's one thing I can appreciate, it's unique wording. I think this product fiils the bill quite nicely.

My buddy Teeg Stauffer over at Recycled Fish put me on to this video from YouTube.

Good buys on reels

August 1st 2009 01:13
Michell 300 spinning reel
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be doing this but, if you're in the market for a used reel, there are a couple Michell 300's over on Ebay for under 5 bucks. I guess that's USD--I didn't look because I'm not really in the market. If you look at these and start comparing, a 300 is NOT the same as the Mitchell 300X.

I would imagine that such a price means these reels need a little work but if you get one and invest a few dollars, you may have something because these old reels are like a tank! I have two of them.

Keep things neat

July 30th 2009 00:12
As I've alluded to before, I'm the king of dis-organization. I picked up a product from Plano the other day that may help me out.

Plano 1040 round organizer
Plano is producing round, six compartment organizers that are great for small hooks, spinners, or other terminal tackle. Fly anglers can also use this product to separate their flies when wading into the middle of a stream.

Fish attractants that are good for you

July 17th 2009 01:26
vitamins

Since there are something like three dozen fish attractants on the market, it's no wonder things are a little bewildering. And then there's that game you play--one is $10.00 but the other is only $7.50--how much is that per ounce? BUT who makes that cheap stuff? Is it any good?
