New (to me) products I've tried and tested extensively. Big thumbs up to...
(not in any order...)
1) Saltheart's Custom Rods. Mike sure knows how to wrap a Rhody stick.
2) Bassmaster Danny Plugs. I'm looking forward to the sub- surface swimmers (Atom 40's types and surfsters) when Dave cranks 'em out.
3) Aquaskinz Evolution Drytop. Schweet.
4) Bomber A-Salt swimmers with holographic finish. The natural colors (metallic green) are DEADLY in white water. The finish thus far is holding up nicely too.
5) Gemini link clips. These aren't new but I just started using them recently (thanks Tobias!) and they rock.
6) Again, not necessarily new, but Tattoo Darters are pissah. They're wood so I cringe when they hit the rock piles! Same goes for Habs' needles.
7) I'm with Toby on the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& Toona Bombs. I've caught bass and blues on these interesting plugs and they cast like diamond jigs but you can work them like poppers. I'm still waiting to try them on tuna (freakin' trip got blown out).
8) Got Stripers jerk bait in secret wee wee flavor.
