Of course, fishing doesn't always stop when the weather turns cold.   If the ice is thick, the Yeti Series is the glove Brian "Bro" Brosdahl reaches for when deep winter arrives.   Bass anglers appreciate the Stealth Dry Tec because its 100% waterproof construction keeps their hands bone dry while the exterior sheds water keeping the glove feather light.   Anyone heading to the water in the winter will be glad they have the Wooly Long because of its exceptional performance in a cold weather environment.

The original, new-classic JackHammer and subtler StealthBlade, Hite explains, lie at opposite ends of the vibration spectrum. “A lot of anglers who throw the StealthBlade for the first time expect to feel the same deep thumping vibration of the original JackHammer. But the motivation behind the StealthBlade is almost the opposite—a tighter, higher frequency vibration that plays just as powerfully to bass in cool water, clear water and in high-pressure and bluebird sky situations. It’s a little like throwing a Shad Rap, whose tight vibration produces exceptional cool water bites.

The root of the brilliance are the Tackle Barn’s double topside gullwing doors, which give the clever tackle bag a barn shape, not the typical square or rectangular profile. Due to the ingenious design, tackle utility boxes are quickly and easily pulled out, swapped, and returned intact faster and more organized than recipe cards. This, unlike conventional tackle bags where, as you know, utility boxes end up strewn all over the boat. The distinctive, matched gullwing covers are easy to open and close, too, thanks to resilient hook and loop attachments.

Fish smell in parts per million and who's to say how much scent we should put on.  If we load the lure with a gel, and the water is cold, not much of the scent will come off since it is thick and coagulated on the bait.  When the water is warmer and the gel scent is more viscous, it will come off easier presumably giving off more scent.  Should we put less on in the summer and more on in the winter.  Fishing has always been about the little things and taking into consideration these and other factors may make a huge difference.

What really makes The Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 so special are its patented SV Spool and Air Brake technology. The proprietary features work together to truly reduce backlashes, while still allowing for incredible casting distances and unmatched control, as the reel employs both magnetic breaking and centrifugal breaking, simultaneously.
