DAIWA BALLISTIC EX MAGSEALED SPINNING REELS

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.

EAGLE CLAW TROKAR KAHLE AND LAZER SHARP HOOKS

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.
