November brings Thanksgiving and in most of the country it’s starting to get really cold. When that happens, fish tend to go deep or hide in cover and we have to find them and figure out how to catch them. Here is a list of lures, Thanksgiving inspired, that can help you (and me) catch those fish this holiday season.

I could just about live at The Container Store. That’s because I’m always looking for new storage solutions for my tackle. While there are plenty of great options from endemic companies, something need not be stamped “for anglers” to qualify.

I tested a lot of different gear this year and found all of the items listed here to be great products and solid values. Purchase with confidence.

Tying on a drop shot rig may look difficult, but it’s actually fairly simple if you have the right teacher. Here’s veteran pro Chad Morgenthaler breaking down the basics of a tactic he uses just about every day.

Three-time Toyota Texas Bass Classic champion Keith Combs has won well over $2 million in his career as a professional angler, and a substantial portion of that has come on a variety of Strike King’s XD crankbaits, most notably the 6XD. Here are four of his go-to colors.

Since the Deps Cover Scat became a valued tool for US anglers, numerous manufacturers have introduced their own takes on the genre. This year at ICAST we saw several more, and they continue to squirt out intermittently. Here are a few that have attracted my attention in recent months.

I have dozens if not hundreds of them, but I’m always onboard to try out a new walk-the-dog topwater lure — especially if it’s from one of my favorite manufacturers. Here are four new ones.

Chad Morgenthaler gave me a quick tutorial in how to use the Garmin electronics system — including an explanation of how the thermocline affects bass behavior and how to adjust color palettes to see more and know more.

Jerkbait storage was simpler when there were fewer options and most anglers thought they only worked during the winter and pre-spawn months. I keep fewer of them in the boat than many of you, but they can still be a mess to pull apart when you really need them. Here are storage options that streamline the task.

More lures and rods come out every week, so rather than update past columns about tackle trends, here’s a catch-all following up on some of those surveys. What do you think of this new gear at Tackle Warehouse?

Our best tool for big Alaskan rainbow trout this summer was a “flesh fly,” in particular the Dolly Llama. Why do trout bulk up on fleshy meals and why was it our favorite presentation?

Soft plastic “creature baits” are super versatile and there are ridiculous numbers of options. Here are my five favorites, five I use occasionally, and five I want to try soon.

While there are dozens on vibrating jigs in U.S. tackle shops, the Original Chatterbait and the Jack Hammer take the largest market share of them all. If you’re willing to go travel to Japan, or enter the “gray market,” there are plenty of JDM options that tend to be high-end and different from what we see stateside.

Topwater fishing has more or less been the demise of my bank account. From big largemouths, to bigger peacock bass, to tuna that can eat them both, if I can get a bite on the surface I’m generally happy. Therefore it should not be a surprise that in the 3 years this website has been in existence I’ve written quite a bit about the topic.

If you’re ready to invest in a few Megabass Vision 110 jerkbaits, choose your colors wisely. Veteran Missouri pro Randy Blaukat shares his thoughts on how to get a full range for varied conditions without breaking the bank.

You simply should not go bass fishing in Mexico without a supply of big plastic worms. The worm is a 12-month producer at any water level, under just about any conditions, but don’t get stuck exclusively on your old favorites. Check out five new options.

For some reason I frequently forget about the Rapala DT series of crankbaits when we go to Mexico, even though we’ve had some great days with them. Here are five colors you should consider for your next trip South of the Border.
