The 10 Hottest New Fishing Lures of the Year
Not even COVID-19 could stop ICAST—the annual fishing-tackle trade show—from happening. Granted, this year’s show “happened” virtually, but I was still able to get a sneak peek at the year’s best new freshwater and saltwater fishing lures for largemouth bass, walleyes, striped bass, and more. There is an exciting mix of brand-new baits, plus improved designs on proven fish-catchers. Here is our roundup on the 10 best new lures for the 2021 fishing season. It’s […]
Fishing lures often need tuning too
The big wooden old-school bass plug hit the water with a loud “ker-plop.” Even though the night fisherman could not see the lure, due to the dark shadow on the quiet, lee side of the little island, he could tell it was a good cast by the sound. And that is, the lure landed close to shore, not hitting any weeds, shore grasses, or overhanging limbs. The cast sounded just right. The jitterbug splashed down […]
Catch and Release Works: 13-pound Bass Caught Again

I worked like a dog to save money for new fishing lures and better fishing rods, but after a lot of trial and error, I realized it wasn’t necessarily about the gear or the money spent.

You find yourself needing something to do. Otherwise, you […]
The best fishing lures are not necessarily the prettiest ones
However in reality, what’s attractive to a human isn’t necessarily what’s attractive to a hungry fish. In fact it’s often it’s the ugly ones — ugly to our eyes — that produce the bites. Or if not ugly then just plain weird looking, like spinnerbaits. The truth is there are plenty of lures which hook anglers more than they hook fish. This week I was invited to help MC the South Coast Mighty Bonanza Fishing […]
Fishing lures a hit for small-town teen entrepreneurs
Three 16-year-olds from this Kansas town just beat about 90 percent of the competition at a national high school business class convention in California. The business model they designed for their fishing-lure company was up against those of many older students, some from private schools in major U.S. cities, at the Future Business Leaders of America conference in Anaheim. Now, the teens are back in Kansas with the goal of growing the company by improving […]
