Take A Look In Our Pros' Tackle Box
Troy Hansen's Top Picks
- Bump'n Stick - "One of the lightest bumping rods out there. I love the fact that it is great for bumping channel cats and blues."
- Utility Scissors - "These cut braid like butter and they are handy to have around the house not just in your tackle bag."
- Non weighted EVA floats - "I love they are easy to see and there is a size for any application."
- T3 Combo Pack - "This pack offers a wide range of sizes. It's a great value on some of the best hooks on the market."
- Peg Floats - "When I make my own rigs with the peg floats it's nice to know the float isn't going to get destroyed after a couple fish. They also float my bait off the bottom very well."
- Ultra Chub - "As one of the first hard bodied rattling rigs out there, they are a proven fish catcher."
- XTN Nets - "These are very strong nets and come in 3 different sizes to fit your fishing needs. Being able to extend them to reach those stubborn fish that just won't come any closer to the boat is nice."
Amy Hansen's Top Picks
- Fillet Knife - "Love the longer blade to help with those larger fillets and the slime proof grip is great for those wet hands."
- Triple Threat Hooks - "Cant say enough about these hooks!! Set the hook, reel down, or watch them load up on their own and see your hook ratio increase!"
- Ultra chub - "These lures add that extra noise and vibration needed while still keeping your bait off the bottom. Perfect for trolling and bumping."
- Carp rod - "Catching channels or even bait has never been more fun than it is with this light rod!"
- Breading - "This breading is Amazing! Just the right amount of seasoning!"
- Nite styx - "These lights work great for all those long nights on the boat or the sandbar campouts."
Dave Wyner's Top Picks
-
7’6 MH casting rod GFX - "I like the way the fish loads the rod when trolling. You can also feel exactly what’s going on as the fish fights. It’s got plenty of back bone to land anything thrown at it."
-
NiteStyx - "When fishing at night it’s easy to see exactly what each rod is doing without missing a bite."
-
Versa Rattles - "Anything I can place on my line to land one or two more fish is an advantage. Having more vibration reaches more active fish."
-
Beads - "A line is as strong as the weakest link which is typically a knot. Having a good bead protects the knot and keeps you from loosing fish."
-
Bait knife - "Having fresh bait is key. Having a sharp hardy bait knife insures quality cuts of fresh bait to help land more fish. It will cut through the toughest of baits and stay sharp."
- Lock Jaws - "When you land that trophy fish you want the perfect picture while protecting the fish. The lock jaws allow you to manage the fish properly while getting the right picture."
Spencer Bauer's Top 3
- Mystery Catfish Tackle Box- "This is the perfect gift for the person that, at least on the surface, appears to have every piece of fishing equipment they will ever need."
- Utility Scissors - "These are the little scissors that could. They take a beating and just keep chugging along."
- Slip Floats - "Not every catfish angler uses bobbers, but I;ll make a bold statemtn that every catfish angler should. Even in situation where abottom presentation is more efective, watching a bber disappear is too much fun not to have one rigged up."
