After receiving the new Daiwa Samurai braid from Bassin' USA for review, I decided to really put this super line to the test, so I spooled my twelve year old Grandson, Trayven Howard’s rod with the Samurai Braid. Trayven loves to fish Chatter-baits and often lets them sink into heavy cover. The end result is often a broken off lure. Not any more!
I received my Daiwa Procyon a little too late in the spring for me to use it to capitalize on the cold water jerkbait bite, but did get a chance to work it out on the spring fun bite that we all enjoy. The model I was asked to review is the PCN 601MFS, a medium action 6’ spinning rod, rated for 6-14# line and baits from 1/8 to ¾ ounces. It’s made from IM7 graphite and has a split cork handle and is handsomely finished in matte grey with high gloss black wrappings.

I have always been impressed with Daiwa’s Team Daiwa series of lures, and the TD Minnow did not disappoint. The realism they are able to put into their baits is truly amazing.

Have you ever picked up a lure and you just knew that it was going to catch bass? Well that’s exactly how I felt when I saw these new jerkbaits from Daiwa. The timing was perfect for testing these new beauties, with waters warming into the mid-upper 50’s. Candlewood Lake has an abundance of Alewife and the new TD Minnow does a great job of imitating these 4” bait fish.
When I received my copy of Smallmouth Neighborhood, I was thrilled. Here we go… details on Smallies from one of the “Big Sticks” that live in one of the emerging smallmouth capitols in the Northland!
Eagle Claws new R-Bend hook is a really neat hook, once you learn how to rig your bait. It will hold your Texas rigged worms or tubes in place as good as any hook I’ve ever used. The heavy wire hook is a great choice for pitchin and flippin into heavy cover, you’ll never have to worry about straighten one out.

Products: Water Widow, Spanky
Introduced in the fall of 2000, the Water Widow from Lunker City Fishing Specialties is sure to be hot bait this summer. The wacky worm craze has really taken hold with anglers in the last year. Lunker City Fishing Specialties has hopped on the band wagon, but with some interesting new twists to a simple lure. The Spanky is 5" in length, with both ends of the bait being larger (thicker) than the center.
