I’m a creature of habit. I find one thing and stick with it out of routine. The same goes for my fishing shoes. I’ve owned the same paid of white soled deck shoes for nearly a decade. They are broken in and comfortable. So when Strike sent me a pair of their Silvertip Boat Shoes [R...
Live sonar changed how a lot of us fish, and it lives or dies on how steady the transducer sits. Millennium Marine introduced the TP-200-00 Fixed Transducer Pole at ICAST earlier this month, built specifically to give live-sonar transducers a stable, adjustable platform. Mount a live-sonar transd...
Welcome back to Bank Fishing Blueprint, the weekly AllOutdoor series focused on helping anglers find and catch more fish from the bank. Last week we covered fishing small shade in the summer heat, and why the tiny slivers of shadow most bank anglers step right over can hold some of the best fish ...
Specialty baits deserve specialty storage, and Evolution Outdoor leaned into that at ICAST earlier this month with the Evolution Fishing Creature Keeper Case. It is purpose-built for Urchin-style baits, the kind that get crushed and tangled in a standard tackle tray, and it debuted at Booth #4020...
The Springfield Armory Echelon has been the darling of Geneseo, Illinois ever since its inception for innumerable reasons.

Welcome back to Bank Fishing Blueprint, the weekly AllOutdoor series focused on helping anglers find and catch more fish from the bank. Last week we covered choke points on windy days, and how a stiff southeast wind pushing water through a narrow gap can stack bass up in a spot most people walk r...
Some fish are just plain strange-looking, and the tripletail is one of them. This odd fish gets its name from the way its dorsal and anal fins stretch back near the tail, giving the appearance of three tails instead of one. Tripletails are known for floating on their sides near the surface of the...
We covered the original Scandal glide bait back in February, when Savage Gear pointed it at largemouth and priced it as a premium bait without the boutique price tag. The musky and pike crowd has been waiting on their version, and it arrived in early July. The Scandal Predator keeps the same two ...
I’m typically a late adopter of fishing lures and baits. I stick with what I know works, and once a lure has proven effective, I’ll reluctantly add it to my tackle box (until I gain more confidence with it). However, the Berkley Lab Series earned a significant spot in my tackle box after its ...
