Treble Hook Selection for Specific Applications
MANY ANGLERS AREN’T FULLY AWARE of how important and involved hook selection really is. While strolling the aisles of tackle shops browsing the wide assortment of lures, anglers often overlook the most critical aspect. However, there’s more to a hook than a sharp point and the most experienced fishermen know there’s not a single hook that’s perfect for every situation. With industry-wide advancements in rod, reel and line technology, hook selection is more important than ever before.
Even more specialized and dynamic than the selection of tournament-approved circle hooks or the wide assortment of J-hooks is the collection of razor sharp treble hooks now available to anglers across all venues. With three hooks attached to a single eye, treble hooks mean serious business.
Yet even though many anglers now swap trebles for specialized inline single hooks that are safer for fish and fishermen, trebles are here to stay. It is their inherent shape and symmetry that help plugs, crankbaits and poppers to craftily mimic the appearance of natural forage.

A Whole Different Animal - Wild Cats that Got the Cream
MOST ANGLERS HAVE STRONG BELIEFS ABOUT WHAT HULL TYPE IS BEST. Running hard in rough water requires a seaworthy platform with the strength and stability to keep you safe, comfortable and dry.

The Lotus Effect - Exploring The Science Of The Shine
THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS inspired by the animal kingdom, with the science of emulating nature known as biomimetics.

Texas Taste Test
WHILE IT’S TRUE THAT SOME PEOPLE DREAD visits from out-of-town family, every winter my wife and I look forward to hosting my sister and her husband for a long weekend in South Florida.

Mesh Network
REMAINING RATHER UNCHANGED for thousands of years, cast nets appear to be simple tools. Toss atop a school of baitfish and haul in your bounty. However, cast nets are available in a variety of sizes and styles comprising minute differences to suit a host of species and water conditions. Delivery is important, but it is the sewing of panels, lead line weight and mesh size that determines a net’s performance.
Secrets Of Sargassum
EXCLUDING FRAGILE CORAL REEFS, aging shipwrecks and massive seamounts, the ocean is a rather featureless expanse. Off the coast of Florida and across much of the tropics, fish migrations are largely dictated by prevailing currents. Caught in the same gyres, floating ecosystems of sargassum seaweed are the basis of life that provide structure and sanctuary for a host of predators and prey.

On a Mission
KAYAK FISHING IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE Barely a decade ago only the bravest paddlers and watermen would venture outside protected bays and rivers, with shallow water redfish and black drum, seatrout and flounder the primary inshore species targeted from the stealthy crafts. Today, boundaries have all but been eliminated with a new breed of fearless fishermen rewriting the book on what’s achievable from just a few feet of cockpit space.
