VUDU SHAD 6” SHAD

While these have been out for a while, we are absolutely sold on these 6” shad imitations from Vudu. We took these out to Flamingo not too long ago and tried them on the juvenile goliaths and had some insane action! They look great in the water, and that bright pearlescent color does the work in murky conditions.

• 4 new colors available
• Built with an indestructible TPE tail

ABU GARCIA REVO ROCKET SPINNING REEL

Built for speed, the hot-looking new Abu Garcia Revo Rocket is a beast of a spinner. Despite its compact size, this reel features a blazing-fast gear ratio, combined with its ultra-smooth operation (a result of AG’s cutting-edge 10 bearing internals). Matched up with a killer anodized aluminum body design, this is definitely a reel for the new generation.

BULL SHAD WAKE BAITS

Take one look at these lures and the first thing you’ll say is “that’s a big bait.” But if you follow the old saying, “big baits big fish,” these jointed wake baits from Bull Shad are no joke when it comes to drawing in trophy fish across a variety of species. While they have been popular in the freshwater space for some time, there is a growing interest in using them for saltwater species like snook and tarpon.

• Rock-solid handmade construction
• Comes in a variety of colors

RAPALA MAGNUM XRAP EXPLODE POPPER

It seems the era of giant poppers with weak treble hooks is fading into the rearview because people have finally figured out that when you throw a giant popper at a foaming school of ahi, the chances of tying into a hook-bending monster is pretty good. Rapala is most definitely leading the pack in this department with the X-Rap Xplode. It’s simply a giant popper with big, robust trebles. If you’re going to be on the grounds pitching topwater for tuna, this one is a no brainer.

• Super-duty treble hooks
• Top-notch color options

PELAGIC EAST CAPE POLARIZED SUNGLASSES

As an angler who spends a ton of time on the water, I’ve gone through dozens of pairs of shades. One thing I’ve found is that not all sunglasses are created equal. Pelagic Gear is one of those brands that was started by an angler and continues to be run by people who fish hard. These new East Cape polarized shades are a great new addition to the Pelagic collection. For me personally, they are the best-fitting shades in the sportfishing space.

• 3 colors
• Polarized

BIO GREEN CLEAN

If you spent even a little bit of time around a marina, there is one thing that you consistently see — people cleaning their boats. A clean boat looks great, is free of stains and, best of all, holds its value. These days, with so much attention on the environment, nontoxic, bio-friendly cleaners are all the rage. But few stand the test of quality like Bio Green Clean. This is a nontoxic, fume-free, 100% plant-derived concentrate that is eco-friendly and highly effective for cleaning even the toughest grime left behind from a hard day on the water.

• environmentally friendly
• up to 10 to 1 dilution
