Perfection gets tossed around far too much in the fishing industry, but we believe that the new Booyah Squelcher is sitting atop a plateau in the buzz bait category. The Squelcher features components that provide an action most anglers spend hours tuning on their traditional buzzbaits to achieve. Components such as: Extra-large cupped blade that allows the bait to be fished extra slow, nested rivet for optimum screech, keeled head, and an extra sharp hook with wire plastic keeper to eliminate the need for glue. Painstaking R&D took place to fine tune all of these features present in the Squelcher, and the result is a buzz bait that any hardcore bass angler will be itching to reel across a slick calm surface.Buy Now

Jackall puts a special coating on both the front and rear treble hooks for easier penetration.

Using Reel Engine Design 2.0 â Quantumâs new Smoke S3 series is the product of a whole new way to build a spinning reel in an all-aluminum uni-body construction, which keeps all the gears and key components in precise alignment for a smoother more durable reel, versus more typical two-part reels. Speaking of gears, Smoke S3 reels feature an all-new asymmetric gear that is forged and machined from high-strength aluminum to allow the gears to mesh better for incredible durability and smoothness.Buy Now
You donât build a product this exceptional by going with the flow. So, while most of the fishing industry focuses on smaller reels with tiny spools, Quantum engineered a larger 35.5 mm spool into a very compact frame to provide anglers plenty of line capacity, longer casts, and more inches of line pick-up with every turn of the handle. However, spool size becomes somewhat irrelevant without a top-notch braking system, so Quantum performed a tremendous amount of engineering research to develop a new ACS 4.0 cast control that is lighter in weight which minimizes the amount of energy it takes to get the spool spinning on a cast, along with additional brakes that disengage around 5,000 RPMs to maximize distance.

The new Helix G3/G3N units feature Mega Imaging+, sonar frequency three-times greater than traditional 455 kHz frequencies, resulting in the clearest, sharpest underwater views. Humminbird Basemap comes standard on all new Helix G3/G3N units. Basemap provides depth and points-of-interest to the entire U.S. coast and more than 10,000 lakes, letting anglers confidently fish right out of the box.

The Humminbird Ice Helix Series has been a go-to choice for anglers looking to have an all-in-one ice unit with built-in GPS capability. Now, with the new Ice Helix 7 CHIRP GPS G2N, anglers have access to leading fish finding and mapping technology year-round in one unit. The new fish finder is networkable with other Helix G2N models and features GPS, CHIRP Digital Sonar, Humminbird Basemap and AutoChart Live.
Unlike traditional sonar, which operates at a single, constant frequency, CHIRP optimizes pulsing sonar signals for greater target separation. CHIRP provides more detail and clarity â ice anglers can now confidently see the separation between bottom, bait and fish on the screen, instead of all three blending into one color on their locator or flasher. This is critical in ice fishing when most species of fish are hugging the bottom, and being able to discern your lure from the lake bottom can be the difference between going home empty-handed or with a limit.
The new Ice Helix 7 CHIRP GPS G2N also features Humminbirdâs easy-to-use Interference Rejection feature. Fishing with sonar on a busy lake can mean unwanted interference from multiple sonar signals in the water, which causes screens to be difficult to read. The Interference Rejection mode gives anglers confidence by letting them find the right sonar setting to cancel out competing signals, resulting in a screen that is almost completely void of noise.

Two-time Bassmaster Elite Series champion and Seaguar pro angler Chris Zaldain is a big fan of InvizX, relying on it,â in a wide variety of classic bass presentations, like Texas and Carolina rigs, particularly in 15-pound test. That line isnât too light for most applications and hook-sets; yet, itâs not so heavy that it hinders the action of your bait,â Zaldain states. âAnd Seaguarâs 15-pound test InvizX is as strong as other manufactureâs 20-pound test, but with a smaller overall line diameter. It boils down to the fact that the thinner the line, the more naturally a bait moves in the water. It just moves more like the real thingâ¦period.â
Seaguar InvizX is a unique, highly castable 100-percent fluorocarbon main line. An excellent all-purpose choice for both spinning and casting reels, InvizX delivers all of fluorocarbonâs well-established advantages in a soft, supple line that is easy to manage, ties knots beautifully, and behaves perfectly both on the reel and off.
