BUYER'S GUIDE: Tackle Storage, Gear Protection, and Line Management!

Tackle Management is critical! Keeping your gear safe and easily accessible is one of the most time consuming jobs an angler has both on and off the water. Through the years we've narrowed down the gear we rely on to properly protect our gear both at home and on the water. Whether you're walking the shore, hopping on a plane, or getting in the boat, these are items we trust. 

Tackle storage at home, on the boat, traveling between vehicles, and while traveling on major trips, all requires different equipment. Its easy to spend a fortune on tackle management solutions so we're here to help narrow it down for you. Each of these items came out of our personal gear and is an item that has tangibly helped us stay more organized. 

If any of these items stand out to you, you can find them linked below. We've listed them in the order they appeared in the video to help you find the right items quickly. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Buyer's Guide: BFS (Bait Finesse System) Rods, Reels, And Lures For Bait Finesse Fishing!

Bait Finesse is here!! If you're wondering what BFS is for, you aren't alone! In today's Buyer's Guide we're covering our favorite BFS rods and reels for casting ultralight presentations with casting gear. Then we're looking at some of our favorite baits for catching fish with this ultra finesse technique. If you're not familiar with BFS the concept is very simple. Essentially, anything you've ever done with a spinning rod, can now be done with a bait caster, and with even more precision. Plus, its a lot of fun!

BFS has been around for decades but has exploded into the US Market in the last 2 years. The arrival of the Shimano Curado BFS Reel opened the door for a wave of anglers to experience BFS without paying the astronomical prices previously required with JDM rod and reel imports. If you've ever been curious about this unique way of fishing, we're here to help!
