Gamakatsu G-Power Flip & Punch Hook
With help from late and great Aaron Martens' brilliant insight, Gamakatsu developed the G-Power Flip & Punch Hook for heavy to super heavy cover.
The TGW (Tournament Grade Wire) hook, paired with its welded eye, makes this hook the strongest in Gamakatsu's G-Series lineup. When using larger baits and weights for punching through grass mats and flipping into heavy timber, anglers need a versatile hook in all types of cover and can withstand extreme conditions.

Daiwa Report
Daiwa Steez CT SV Baitcaster
Meet the brand new Steez CT SV, a lightweight, super-smooth baitcaster packed full of Daiwa’s proprietary cutting-edge technology, unmatched in a reel this size. Daiwa’s high-end Steez line is already renown for exceptional performance, toughness and versatility. The new CT SV raises that bar to even greater heights.
At just 5.3 ounces, it’s built specifically for the U.S. market with the power to handle bigger bass and larger lures in a featherweight format that excels at precision finesse presentations as well.
Consider the 90-mm handle length and oversize handle knobs that make this reel a pleasure to crank while providing the extra power needed to separate hawg bass from the tangles, blowdowns, weed mats and pilings where they instantly retreat upon feeling the hard set of a sharp hook. A magnesium frame, handle side, and side plate keep the reel extremely rigid and lightweight while special paints and coatings ensure it is also saltwater capable.

Plano Report
Plano EDGE Line Management Box
Line spooling just became a little bit easier with the new Plano EDGE Line Management Box.
The Plano EDGE Line Management Box is a new premium line management system that protects lines and allows anglers spool up quickly anywhere with the same easy-to- transport system.
The EDGE Line Management System protects braids, monofilament, fluorocarbon and co-polymer lines from damage in a travel-friendly design that is at home on the water or the road. The spacious, waterproof 3700 size container holds up to 12 300-yard filler spools of line and features a built-in arbor that allows each spool to spin independently for added efficiency. Eight included tension bands keep everything under wraps, so anglers aren’t dealing with unruly spools when the time comes to re-rig, and a one- handed top latch and built-in large grab handles make quick spooling reels a breeze. A Dri-Loc O-ring seal keeps water out when the box is closed and the WaterWick divider with reusable moisture-wicking packet helps to keep line dry.
Other features include Rustrictor technology for rust-preventative protection, EZ Label system for quick identification of contents, DuraView crystal-clear polycarbonate lid and One-handed latch design.
Suggested retail is $49.99.
