What's new in fishing?
Maybe I'm getting a little cantankerous myself but this winter and spring I didn't see much NEW stuff that I just had to have. Sure, there was some nice new plugs around, and some pretty stuff like some sweet custom rods, but I can't think of anything NEW. Nothing revolutionary and not even much evolutionary.
What out there do you consider really new? What evolutions out there seem worthy of exploration? Am I just becoming a jaded & cantankerous G.O.Ph. ?

on a serious note, I gotta agree with John, no real revolutionary stuff out there...... it would be cool if somebody came out with a spinning reel that could be dunked like a VS without a VS price...
since I'm still relatively new to the sport, I am still aquiring new stuff that I've never used before so it's enough to keep me excited. For example, I just got all excited about making my "keep cool eel bucket"

I don't think so. Maybe its just because I have a lot of fishing stuff that I'm more selective

I would say that this years big development for the high tech fisaherman is the in car GPS proliferation. Sure GPS has been around a long time but thgis year it started to become widely used in cars.
If you can use a computer , you can go to areal photography site , get coodinates and drive to fishing spots using the GPS to guide you. This allows you to 'scout" spots while at home. Its a powerful tool in the hands of a good fisherman.

I was content with only a hook, line and sinker then came S-B.com and $$$ worth of equipment later. If I need to buy new stuff without fully using or losing what I have then shame on me.
However, I could not resist the new Yo-Zuri crystal minnow magnum, 6.5" length,1 3/8 oz.

New products
Speaking of the Skinz products, Kadir came into the Red Top while I was with Don Stromeyer the other day to show Don his product line. I think we'll see the Aqua Skinz in the Red Top shortly.

They're not new or revolutionary, but I think the Storm baits have made catching a bass on a lure as easy as it gets.

It would be great if someone could figure out how to make a lighter pair of Korkers!
