Abu Garcia Report
Abu Garcia Revo Rocket spinning reel
Gone are the days of losing fish because you can’t catch up. The new and improved Abu Garcia Revo Rocket spinning reel features a blistering fast 7.6:1 gear ratio which is unusual to find in today’s spinning reels.
The new Revo Rocket features an asymmetrical X-Craftic alloy body design that gives anglers a more compact, lightweight body. The Rocket also features the new AMG2 gear system that is 17% larger than the previous generation, allowing for extra gear strength and the ability to create the Rocket’s extreme gear ratio.
The Revo Rocket spinning reel fills a gap in the arsenal with a faster gear ratio for finesse applications. Long casts can prove difficult in picking up line slack and lead to lost fish and missed opportunities.Â

Frabill Report
Frabill WITNESS Weigh Net
The Frabill WITNESS Weigh Net is the first all-in-one fish net, scale and ruler for fresh and saltwater anglers.
With a built-in 30-pound scale, anglers can now quickly get the weight of a fish and release it without having to hang the fish on a handheld scale.
Designed to make a day on the lake hassle-free, the WITNESS Weigh Net is the innovative way to capture a fish's weight, length and snap a quick photo before returning the fish safely back into the water. Simply scoop up any fish up to 30 pounds and remove the hook. Turn on the scale and hold the net in a vertical position with the net portion down to record the quick weight of any catch.- Details
Gamakatsu Report
G-Finesse Feathered Treble MH
Gamakatsu has introduced the G-Finesse Feathered Treble MH.
The design was based upon the input of the late great, Aaron Martens. The existing medium-heavy G-Finesse Trebles took the bass world by storm six years ago, and the addition of life-like and vibrant feathers fills the lineup.
Like their predecessors, the G-Finesse feathered trebles utilize Tournament-Grade Wire construction, allowing the points to remain sharper, longer. That means anglers will use fewer of them while ensuring better hook-up percentages as the fishing day goes. Furthermore, they are stronger than hooks of the same diameter wire. They come with a Nano Smooth Coat that makes penetration even easier.
These new trebles come two to a pack, adorned with either white or chartreuse premium feathers and tinsel, hand-selected by Martens to tempt even the most finicky fish.
They are offered in sizes 6, 4, 2, 1, and 1/0.

Daiwa Report
Daiwa Technique-Specific Tatula XT Rods
Daiwa offers an affordable way to have an array of technique-specific rods rigged and ready with the new Tatula XT bass rod series.
Available at select tackle shops for $99.99 (USD), the Tatula XT rods - designed for both savvy anglers and those just discovering the added thrill of tournament bass fishing – include nine casting and six spinning models for everything from using finesse baits in clear water to casting frogs with heavy braided line in thick cover.
The model lineup ranges from the Tatula XT731MHFB, a versatile 7-foot-3-inch casting rod, to the 7-foot-6-inch extra-heavy power Tatula XT76XHFB casting rod for flipping and pitching and for use with a heavy Carolina-rig. On the spinning side, Daiwa experts believe the 7-foot-1 Tatula XT711MLXS will find a home on many boat decks rigged with a drop-shot rig or to work a Neko bait. If the need calls for a bigger soft plastic or a wacky rig, check out the Tatula 7-foot XT701MHFS.
