The growing popularity of fishing has been well documented in the last two years and one of the fastest growing segments, even before the pandemic, was kayak fishing. There are many reasons for the increased interest, including the lower cost versus purchasing a boat and motor as well as the chance to fish smaller waters and access areas that boats cannot get to.

Two kayak fanatics are the host of The Kayak Fishing Show with Jim Sammons, a show beginning its 13th season on television, and a YouTube personality with nearly 430,000 subscribers, Gene "Flukemaster" Jensen. Both have spent thousands of hours fishing from a kayak and have learned how to stay efficient on the water.

Seaguar offers an impressive line-up of fluorocarbon fishing mainlines and leaders, with designs covering both freshwater and saltwater fisheries and a wide range of species, from tiny panfish all the way up to big game predators like muskie and blue fin tuna.

One of the easiest and most widely-used baits among bass anglers is the soft plastic worm (aka stickbait or stickworm). When using worms, there are many subtle differences in technique, but, even still, they are far less complicated than many other baits, while being just as effective. This makes soft plastic worms an excellent bait for both novice and advanced bass anglers and everyone in between. In this blog, we discuss the basic sub-types of worms, their uses, rigging techniques, and optimal rod and reel choice. 

 

When it comes to fishing, for beginners and seasoned anglers, their ultimate weapon is choosing the right rod, reel, lines, and other gadgets to make the most out of this adventure. Anglers are thrill-seekers, so the right choice of tools and equipment will make it more fun.

Choosing the right reel may not be easy as it looks. There are many aspects you should look into before opting for the right reel.
