Tim's New Boat! Full Tour + Tackle, Electronics, and Storage Tips!

Come take a look inside Tim's brand new boat! Let's look under the locker lids at how he stores his tackle and what he's really fishing with! We know people are curious about the new Skeeter so today Tim is giving a full tour of the boat, a breakdown of why he picked the Skeeter FXR21, and the mindset behind how he lays out a boat for proper boat handling and tackle organization.

We're so excited about this new boat! From the brand new Yamaha SHO outboard, to the Dakota Lithium batteries with massive storage capacities, this boat is built to handle everything we can throw at it! As Tim opens up his new boat and explains his layout, pay close attention to the tackle that he carries on board the bass boat and how he organizes it to create a stable driving and fishing platform. From boat balance to bait management, there is a lot to consider when loading your boat!

Below you'll find links to everything Tim discussed in the video. From a break down of the Electronics, to the key tackle storage solutions, its all there. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

New TacticalBassin Baits And Designs For 2025!! ** Full Review **

We're thrilled to announces our latest lure collaboration! We've partnered up with Hog Farmer once again, this time to build the ultimate 5–Hook Rig! The Tactical 5 Hook, 4 Blade Rig is here! Anglers have been asking for a 5 hook option for years that has great flexibility, durability, and high end components. We've answered that call with our 7th addition to the Tactical family of rigs with Hog Farmer Bait Company.

The fun doesn't stop there! We've also launched an entire line of Merch! From T Shirts and Sun Shirts, to hats, stickers, and more... you can now get our merch directly from Tactical Bassin for the first time in years! Keep an eye on the merch page, as there are constant additions being made, with all the cold weather staples arriving soon.

Back to the rig... the Tactical "Flex" line of rigs has seen incredible success the last few years. From the full size, to the mini, to the micro, giant bass have been fooled by these rigs all over the country! The one request that constantly arises is from the anglers in states that allow 5 hooks. No matter how you modify the rigging, many anglers just prefer 5 hooks, and today we've answered that call with a perfectly balanced, flexible, and durable 5 hook rig.

Below you'll find links to the baits, apparel, and merch. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse for the baits, and directly to the "Merch" page on TacticalBassin.com for the gear. Thank you for your continued support of Tactical Bassin as we continue to teach as many anglers as possible how to catch more and bigger fish!

Where Are We Fishing In 2022???

Are we coming to a lake near you? 2022 is going to be an awesome year! We can't wait to start catching fish and we can't wait to start hearing about all your successes both on and off the water. We're excited about what the future holds and thankful that you're coming on the journey with us!

Do you want to catch a giant fish this year? Perhaps you want to learn a new technique? The new year is a great time to set goals and create a plan to achieve them. Anglers who set goals are far more likely to be successful in 2022 than those who don't. We highly recommend you take the time to comment below with your goals. The entire Tactical family is here to help you achieve them. 

In 2021 we met about half of our personal goals. We were blessed to catch some giant fish, we had some near misses with world class fish, and we were able to travel to a ton of new locations. For 2022 we're doubling down our efforts and hunting for even bigger fish in even more places!

If you're just learning about TacticalBassin, or perhaps you just want to look back at the highlights from the past year, here were some of our favorite videos as well as the exact bait that giant striper ate.
