Freshwater Fishing Tackle – Rods, Reels & Gear

If you hate tangles, the Stick Jacket Plug Jacket is the key to keeping your hooks away from everything else.  The plug jacket wraps around your lure that is already tied onto your rod, and keeps it snug as a bug in a rug with velcro edges.  Keep your lure or worm nice and cozy wrapped up tight.  It's easy to see what bait you have tied on because the plug jacket is clear plastic.  They even make a bigger model so that your longer or fatter baits can be wrapped up like a wiener dog with a rain coat.

The Stick Jacket Plug Jacket has a clear plastic on it so it not only reduces snagging on items in your car, boat, or RV, but it also let's you see what lure you have tied on.  The visible window makes it so you don't have to take it off just to see what you have tied on.

Protect your fishing rod with the Stick Jacket Spinning model.  Stick Jacket has many different sizes and colors and this one protects your spinning rod.  The diameter will go over the larger guides of a spinning rod but still protects both the blank and the guides from damage and scratches.  It's easy to take off and put one and acts like a finger trap.  With the many colors, you can customize your rods, for instance drop shot could be blue and ned rig could be yellow.  Protect your investment and get one today.

Stick Jacket Casting rod sleeves work great for protecting your rod from scratches, broken guides, and tangles.  The sleeve slips over your rod with ease and keeps the line from catching on other rods.  

It acts like a trap and hold tight to the rod until you want to take it off.  The brass grommet on the end allows you to hang it up on the wall without falling out (without the reel.)  

The jacket falls short of covering the entire rod, it usually stops short enough to have a lure tied on and attached to the hook keeper without hanging up.  We recommend not putting a lure on the guides, this will result in snagging on the Stick Jacket.

For rods up to 7-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  Mainly freshwater rods or saltwater inshore rods.

The Stick Jacket XL Casting model fits rods up to 8-1/2' Long and 3-7/8" round.  We like these sleeves because they are easy to put on and take off, protect the rod and guides, and can be color coordinated so you know which rod is which.  The grommet at the tip allows you to hang your rod, the sleeve acts like a finger trap.  

All the covers are designed to stop short of the reel and in most cases the hook holder.  That way you can have a bait or lure tied on and it won't get caught in the sleeve.  We don't recommend putting the hook on the guides, you'll have a heck of a time getting it off if the hook gets in the sleeve.

The Gamakatsu Round Bend Treble Bronze Hooks are very sticky hooks.  They aren't the strongest hooks with only 1X strong wire, but the thin wire sticks better than a stronger hook.  

If you're fish are coming off once hooked, consider going to these and see the difference.  You may need to change your hook out more often because they get bent, but at least you landed the fish.

Crafted with precision, the Gamakatsu Round Bend Treble Hooks feature a durable tin finish that enhances their strength and longevity.

These hooks are designed with careful attention to detail and are coated with a strong tin finish to improve their durability and extend their lifespan.

The Gamakatsu Worm Hook Black is a light wire fishing hook with an O'Shaughnessy bend, designed for soft plastic baits, particularly worms, known for its sharpness and strength.

• Design: Features an O'Shaughnessy bend and a straight or offset shank, offering a larger bite area for better hook sets. The O'Shaughnessy bend is ideal for bulkier plastics and provides superior holding power. Some models include keeper barbs or a Z-Bend to secure baits and reduce pull-offs.
• Material and Finish: Made from high-carbon steel light wire with a black nickel finish for corrosion resistance and improved hook-up rates. The hooks undergo a unique tempering process for strength without brittleness and are sharpened to a conical point for exceptional sharpness.
• Applications: Ideal for Texas rigging, Carolina rigging, or weightless presentations like flukes. The wide-gap design minimizes hook tear-out and is effective for bass fishing.
• Sizes and Packs: Available in sizes like 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, and 5/0, with pack quantities varying (e.g., 5 or 6 per pack for smaller sizes, up to 25 in bulk packs).
• User Feedback: Praised for sharpness and high hookup ratios, especially for Texas-rigged worms. Some users note hook points may bend with braid or heavy fish, preferring brands like OWNER for durability.
• Technology: Some versions feature Nano Alpha coating for 2x better hook-up performance and 4x better corrosion resistance.

Gamakatsu Heavy Cover Worm Hooks are designed to fight big fish in heavy cover.  Gamakatsu worked with pros Aaron Marten and John Crews to create the perfect bait keeper that provides consistently straight rigging and superior holding power.

The Gamakatsu Heavy Cover Flipping Hooks are also super sharp and forged to be extra strong. Each hook is also equipped with a solid, welded line-eye which is ideal for tying Snell knots with braided lines.

Available in multiple sizes to fit your bait, the Gamakatsu Heavy Cover Flipping Hooks are the real deal.

The Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap Weedless Hook is great for many types of finesse fishing.  We here at T.E. we use them on drop shot rigs, neko rig, and wacky rigs most often.  This hook comes in a weedless and non-weedless option for different applications.  

This weedless version is great for if you have small grass or other green growth in the lake that might cause snags or foul your hook.  The nylon weedless guard simply catches on the barb of the hook which holds it in place surprisingly well.  It's firm enough that it keeps stuff off your hook but light enough to give under a hook set.  

The hook is extremely sharp and has a thin wire but is strong enough to land some of the biggest fish.  The angled eye gives you leverage as you set the hook and almost pivots the point upward for a better hookup ratio.  If you haven't tried the Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap Weedless Hook give it a try, we think you'll like it.

We use Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap Hooks for wacky rigged worms such as Yamamoto Senkos.  The short shank and wide gap is perfect when using a thick worm allowing enough of the point to protrude to get a good hook set.  

We also use them for pinning on smaller live bait.  The value pack is a great way to save money on your favorite hooks.

The Gamakatsu Weedless Split Shot/Drop Shot Hook is the solution for those drop shot situations that need an extra weed protection.

The weed guard holds its shape and consistency with repeated use and is extremely effective in staying weedless with exposed hook riggings.

Gamakatsu Split Shot, Drop Shot Hooks have the right bend to make the bait presentation at the right angle.  The preferred knot is the palomar but make sure you take your tag line and run it through the eye of the hook to finish the knot.  

We like this hook because it's very sharp and has the perfect angle for drop shot rigs and split shot rigs.  The wire is thin so hookups are solid, allowing you to get the fish in.  Even though they are thin, they are still pretty tough considering the wire size.  There are 6 hooks per pack but we also have bulk packs for a better value. 

Our Gamakatsu Offset Shank Worm Hooks Round Bend are perfect for Carolina rigging and Texas rigging worms and small creature baits.  We fish them anytime we are dragging the bottom with a worm from 4 inches to 7 inches. 

The narrow gap allows the worm to act naturally on the bottom.  If you were to use an EWG hook it would cause the worm to sit sideways due to the belly of the hook not sitting flat on the bottom.  As always, these babies are ultra sharp and strong.

There is no better hook for skipping plastics under docks and cover. Gamakatsu’s Skip Gap Hooks is a multiple use hook that is perfect for a variety of soft plastic baits. Top water buzz frogs, Texas rigging, Carolina rigging, the Skip Gap can do it all!
