Best products you purchased this year?
Hunting season is only a month away for me. As it draws closer I started thinking about my fishing season and the best things I added to my arsenal this year. Mine are as follows:
1. Rod--Skeet Reese cranking rod 2. Reel--Shimano Chronarch 3. Bait-- Kriet shaky heads and matching worms. I'd like to hear what everyone else liked this year.

I'm giving the MVP to Bobby's Perfect Frog.
I no longer have to squeeze water out every cast to get the frog to work correctly. This is the absolute best frog on the market IMO. Had a great morning yesterday on the Yellow Headed Blackbird color. Might be my new favorite. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Snag_...html#multiview |

Havnt taken any new pics due to camera charger malfunction,it feels like a 17 ft its 20,narrow and passengers sit way down in yet when running runs like a 21 fter.
And run she will,about 83 with a 27 p more if a chopper is used like a 28. Also has a shallow draft. Considering its a 1990 boat not bad overall |

The best rod I ever used was added this year, another Skeet Reese rod. This one was the cranking rod, and I have a few more Skeet Reese rods. When the new ones come out, I'll be buying at least two more.
I didnt buy any new reels because I've been patiently waiting for the new Skeet Victory reels too, I'll probably buy a baitcaster and a spinning. The best hook I baught was the TK130 Flippin' hook, with the bait retention. I had used it before, but wanted to stock up. |

Used custom 7' med spinning rod has been pretty good to me this year. I've caught a lot of fish on a floating worm on this rod once I figured out when to set the hook. Got to let the fish load up before setting. I've caught some good fish on it including one nice one on Sat.
