Best products you purchased this year?

keysd13 · 08-06-10, 08:48 PM

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.

keysd13 · 08-08-10, 03:12 PM

lets see a pic of the boat.

RPBassin' · 08-08-10, 04:07 PM

It's been a decent year for me so far:

Shimano Crucial 7' cranking rod
Shimano Crucial 7' spin rod
St. Croix Avid 6'8" spin rod
Abu Revo STX 6.4
Shimano Symetre

The wife might shoot me if i buy anything else this year

lilmule · 08-08-10, 04:26 PM

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

fish_hunter · 08-09-10, 10:35 AM

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.

3dkicker · 08-09-10, 11:47 AM

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.
