What’s the next new thing in fishing tackle?
It’s got to be new advancements in braided line. We got to see two new lines that anglers are going to love.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan State University Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health recently confirmed and announced the death of deer in Ionia and Branch counties was due to epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD).
As of Wednesday, the two organizations have confirmed EHD in six additional counties: Barry, Calhoun, Cass, Clinton, Eaton and Montcalm. There has been a nationwide increase of EHD outbreaks due to the extended hot and dry conditions.

I dont have to tell Michiana anglers the importance of spinning tackle fishing for bass and panfish in our lakes and rivers.
Youll probably find more spinning reels on the decks of area anglers boats than you will baitcasters. Thats not to say baitcast reels arent vital, but many of the techniques and line sizes used here match up better with spinning gear.
