    A GULP! Substitute? Maybe So . . .

    To be perfectly honest, I wish that killies were more "readily available" because I truly enjoy using live bait to catch ANY targeted species of fish. Nothing seems more "authentic" to me. One of my favorite bass trips I ever made was in Montauk using porgies to catch monster bass. My two best...

    A GULP! Substitute? Maybe So . . .

    Cany, I (like many of us old schoolers) swore by killies & squid back in the day. They were the go-to bait that in those days could not be beat. I would still use them today but my local tackle shop doesn't have live killies available and I haven't been able to catch any good "bait sized"...

    A GULP! Substitute? Maybe So . . .

    My "big fluke" catch ratio has REALLY hit the shitter the last few seasons and I'm not going to make excuses besides I just might be losing interest in our local fishing. HOWEVER, I have watched MANY of my friends on many of the boats I fish on from Brooklyn to Montauk beat the tits off fluke...

    Leader for fluke

    "I am a believer in Flourocarbon for shallow water fluke and DEFINITELY Tog. The water is typically cleaner and clearer in the fall and winter and those big tog are pretty smart. The Salmon and Red Label offer a good enough quality at a cheaper price than the high end stuff, and in my opinion...

    TEAR IT DOWN! TEAR IT DOWN! The G4 Revo Winch, I mean . . .

    One thing I RARELY do anymore when I go into tackle shops is ask the "guy behind the counter" for advice on reels & rods. I'm not me being a dou___bag, it's just that I know what I like when I see it. I MIGHT have a question here or there but never seek "advice" from the kid behind the...

    TEAR IT DOWN! TEAR IT DOWN! The G4 Revo Winch, I mean . . .

    I thought I was a BIG proponent of Shimano reels....Until I did a little inventory assessment and realized I currently own (3) Shimano reels. Two of which I rarely use anymore...But I have (11) Abu Garcia's that are the majority of my "go-to" fishing reels. Over the years I've always...

    Shimano Tranx 200

    FW, actually, what I'm trying to do is find a reel SPECIFICALLY FOR TOG! Not planning to fish it for anything else. I'm not one of those guys who uses his tog gear for fluke fishing. Mainly because my Lexa 300PWR's and my "Lepped-Up" Abu's are waaay to much reel for fluke fishing. Every rod...

    Ralph, if you don't mind my asking, what did it cost to paint the guides?

    Shimano Tranx 200

    FW, I'm in search of a small low profile reel that can tangle with big tog. It's been my mission for several years now. I've been using the Daiwa Lexa 300PWR and I love them - but I'd love to get one slightly lighter as my rods are getting lighter every build. I have a Tranx 300 and that reel...

    Building "Bucktail" Jigs - Lep Style

    I've been "toying" with making my own jigs the last few years too. Wanted to experiment with different color combos. Originally I just wanted to make the heavier 4-6 ounce jigs because they're expensive but I soon had my friend making me unpainted jig heads from 1-6 ounces. I'm still tinkering...
