TroKar hooks take sharpness to a new level, featuring a hook with a geometric triangular point to penetrate faster and easier. All three edges are honed to a surgical sharpness, resulting in a hook that penetrates twice as fast and dramatically improves strike-to-hook-up ratios. Once the sharpness was dialed in, Eagle Claw’s team of pro-fisherman put these hooks to the test in the field.

Tsunami, a division of Bimini Bay Outfitters, has developed a solid reputation for producing quality rods at affordable prices, and even more important, rods that are designed to meet the needs of anglers here in the Northeast.

Okuma has been introducing some way-cool stuff over the past few years for high-end, light tackle saltwater coastal anglers.

Introduced earlier this season, Maxcuatro is a next-gen super braid that takes PowerPro’s popular brand of fishing line and raises its game to the next level.

If you’re looking for a moderately priced spinning reel that offers great value and can cover all of your freshwater and inshore saltwater needs, Daiwa’s Ballistic EX series of spinning reels is definitely worth checking out.

Introduced at the ICAST international tackle show back in July, Spiderwire’s Stealth Blue Camo Braid is hitting the tackle shops at just the right time for the fall run.
