Reviews?

I was thinking of reviewing in detail various tackle and gear I buy for fishing and posting it up here... And B&T shops as well. Thoughts? It would be cool to have reviews to look through before buying something.

Sounds like a great idea, run with it

Does anyone have any specific requests?


More good news, if any of you plug builders( Smitty, you're first on my list since you asked first :P ) want underwater video of your plugs shot this summer let me know.... I can do that.

I think its a awesome idea !!!!!!!!!!!!

I also think guidelines need to be set .
If you dont like a product , tell us all why !!
Don't trash the company with no answers .
I read everything i can about a product i like . The reviews i like and tend to view , are the
ones direct to the point . It dosent Matter if it is a good or bad review.List the pros and cons and if you would ever buy this product again .

I know if i went into a post and it read :

Review of Mikey's Slappy my Pappy Popper

I saw this lure and the named intrigue me than anything .So i ordered a few to see what they where about

Cons-
1-At 19 inches long and 4 lbs it seems heavy
2-The required 6 D Batteries only lasted 5 mins
3-Poor Design - I would need a telephone pole to throw this
4-Poor Color choices-I have never heard of a plug coming Zebra or Leopard only
5-Do you really need 6 trebles hook and a siwash?

Pros
None

if i read a review like that i would come back for more !So who's gonna build me a Mikey's Slappy My pappy ?
If you dont find this post funny you must be dead

GSB that was funny!

And Ive written reviews on stuff before for another hobby I had so I should be able to do alright with it.

I just have to pick what Im going to start with. Any suggestions?

Here's some stuff I have so far that I have bought recently that I can provide reviews of -

Smitty popper plug

Penn Pro Guide 8 ft surf rod

Penn 450 SSG reel

Ron-z Soft plastic eels

Bass Kandy Delights baits

Shakespeare Ugly Stik 7 ft 2 piece spinning rod, light action

Flambeau Tackle bag

Penn Captiva 4000 reel





More to add to the list... If any plugbuilders want unbiased reviews of a plug or a new design that they want to test Im more then willing to help out with it.

GSB, think I could buy one of your bucktails from you for review? That black/purple one is HAAAAWT

I wear stocking foot waders for extra ankle support.I used to wear Pro-line boots.I made an up grade last Fall to korker boots!! It was the best decision on a gear purchase I've ever made.First off these boots provide awesome support,for sand walkin,wading, and rock hoppin.This product has interchangable soles for different terrain.I have the felt soles,Studded soles,and the hiking soles.It's amazing with my old boots I would get about 3-4 cups of sand in them,with these onlt like a TSB.Having the studded soles on for rock hoppin is awesome,no clunky korkers sandals draging around all over.I've worn these boots on the beach,on a jetty,and in a river.I'm very happy with them!!!!If your gonna wade in stocking foot waders or wear a wet suit these boots rock!!!!!I have the Streamborn Wading boot.
