Customer photo review of CATCH-A-CAT™

They work great. They never come off hook when casting and when leaving it out for longer periods of time I know my bait regardless of what I'm using is always on my hook.

CATCH-A-CAT™

Store owner replied: Very nice channel catfish Jason!! Thanks for leaving a review - so glad you are enjoying the catch-a-cat bait pockets :)

Customer photo review of T-Turn 3-Way Swivel

Great drop shot additive on the St. Lawrence River for live bait and also drop shot baits. It is also deadly on the Tennessee River for Bass. I’m a fan.

Customer photo review of T-Turn Bait Rig

Love this rig. Saves a lot of time & the hooks sit just right. I've caught so many bluegill and other pan fish with these. I definitely will be buying more from this company. Especially since their price is lower than Amazon.

T-Turn Bait Rig

Store owner replied: Thanks for your review and photo HW, nice mess of panfish! Good fishing!

Customer photo review of Scuttletail™

I live in Mo, so water is still a little cold. I was yo-yoing it off the bottom. I let it set a few seconds and he picked it up. I love the scuttle tails. I purchased the blue , the silver, and white. I also purchased the critterpede . I use it as a Ned rig. I like the way it floats up off the bottom. Makes it very enticing for the fish.

Customer photo review of Eye Drops

Jigging for walleyes on Saginaw bay and they were being finicky so we went small presentation tipped with the eyes and the perch loved them a few walleyes did too. Definitely out performed a minnow head, my buddy fished 30 yards away and never touched a perch

Eye Drops

Store owner replied: Wow...that's some great fishing Ethan 👍 Thanks for writing in and letting us know ☺️ 🎣

Customer photo review of Peanut Bunker STINGNOSE™ Jigging Spoons

The Peanut Bunker and Stingnose Minnow spoons are amazing for enticing Walleye, Bass, Sheephead and Northern Pike! I submitted a picture of the Peanut Bunker that I used way up in northern Ontario for jigging deep water, fall Northern Pike. It got smashed on pretty much every drop and got scratched up pretty good. Not nearly as much as my hands though, from unhooking all them toothy terrors. An excellent deep-water jigging spoon!

Store owner replied: Thanks for taking the time to submit a photo and review Mark…so glad you’re liking the Stingnose, they really do work great! Fish-on!

Customer photo review of SP Viper Spoon

67 cm (6 lb) and 73 cm (7 lb) walleyes on green mackerel Viper Spoon. Too bad they were over the maximum size for Cabonga Reservoir, Quebec.

SP Viper Spoon

Store owner replied: Hi Daniel - that's a nice 7 lb walleye!! Congrats on that and thanks for sharing your photos with us :)

Customer photo review of STINGEYE™ Spinner

This gold color has helped me hook and land so many fish it's insane. Works amazing when it's just starting to get brighter. The action is really good and the fish can't seem to ignore it.

STINGEYE™ Spinner

Store owner replied: Thanks for your review on the Stingeye spinner Fahad, nice fish!

Customer video review of STINGEYE™ Spinner

I have landed hundreds of pike on the the sting eye spinners I have multiple in each color. Would definitely recommend these. They cast really good and can definitely take a beating by those big pike thrashing around.

STINGEYE™ Spinner

Store owner replied: WOW!! That's some amazing poke fishing...so happy to hear this and thanks for sharing that video clip as well 👍 🎣🎣

Customer photo review of T-Turn Bait Rig

Caught on 6 pound braid with tea tee turnbait rig

T-Turn Bait Rig

Store owner replied: That's awesome, thanks David!

Customer photo review of T-Turn Bait Rig

Fantastic rig, it essentially was a bolt rig, I believe the octopus hooks work a little better. Maybe try a little Larger size circle hook only because of the corn kernels not being enough. However both work amazing, you literally watch your rod or listen for the free running reel to go off.. they caught catfish also rest assured

T-Turn Bait Rig

Store owner replied: Thanks for your review Samson...nice carp!

Customer photo review of STINGNOSE™ Minnow and Smelt Jigging Spoons

Used the 1/2 and 3/4 ounce gold minnows. Catch fish every time we go out on lake Erie in the west basin. Highly recommend using a nightcrawler with it. Walleye love this. Unfortunately so do the sheephead. But fun regardless and are a worthy investment.

STINGNOSE™ Minnow and Smelt Jigging Spoons

Store owner replied: That's fantastic Ben - so happy to hear you are having some great days on the water 🎣🎣

Customer photo review of Skoolie Minnow

The schoolie minnow is amazing! It has great action in the water. The fish seem to hold on to it longer than other soft baits. This is a must have for the tackle box! Thanks for an amazing product.

Skoolie Minnow

Store owner replied: Thanks Tim and that's a nice smallmouth bass 👍👍 🎣🎣

Customer photo review of Flexi-Jig

The flexi-jig is an amazing lure! Great hook set location. The flexi-jig paired with the schoolie minnow is a perfect combo. Will be adding more of these to the tackle box. Thanks for the amazing products! Tim

Customer video review of STINGEYE™ Spinner

Got slightly snagged for a second, and the blade broke off. Extremely disappointed. I casted different sizes and colors for a good hour strait fishing for trout and had no success. Switched to a suspended jerk bait and caught 2 brown trout within 20 minutes. I prefer spinners with the buck tails but absolutely hate and don’t understand why the ones with the bucktails only have a single hook and not a treble hook?!?! Definitely disappointed that the one I casted 3 time broke. Can’t say I would recommend unfortunately. 😔 I still like your products but I am not a fan of these and don’t see myself buying them again. To not have a treble hook on the ones with bucktails seems stupid to me but maybe there’s a reason for it. These are the only spinner mepp types I have used that don’t have a treble hook and I don’t like it

STINGEYE™ Spinner

Store owner replied: Hi Andrew and thanks for taking the time sending us your feedback with video. We are very sorry that the blade ripped off - that should not have happened! It looks like the shaft has bent also...but no worries, we will be happy to send you a replacement lure tomorrow, and we hope you have much better luck next time!
