I was thinking that there wasn't much new in inventory this year, so I did a little walk-around the store and wrote down items that we didn't have last fall. I was blown away. There's lots of new items. Here is a list of what's new and the manufacturer.
Set The Hook Dead Quiver - A small floating style pencil bait for super finesse fishing
Missle baits - Craw Father
Z Man - Big TRD as it says it's a larger version of the TRD
Jackall - 2.8 Rythm Wave - a new 2.8" version of the larger Rythm Waves
- Gavancho Frogs - a popping frog
Northland - Impulse Swim baits. A slender ribbed swim bait
Shimano - Exage rods - a new line, moderately priced, with bass fishing in mind
- Chronarch MGL reels a replacement for the Chronarch CI4
Abu Garcia - Fantasista rods - a higher end (but not too high) rod made with the 3m graphite
- Revo ALX - a new compact level wind
Daiwa - Crosswinds rods and reels - entry level rods and reels but still feel pretty good
- Fuego rods - again moderately priced but great rods for the dollar
- Tatula Elite series. The 3rd entry into the Tatula line, the highest of the 3 and really really nice
Gamakatsu - Aaron Martin drop shot hooks. Not really new, but hard to get in Canada.
Trapper hooks - a really innovative design. Think outside the box
Gambler - Hollow points an old idea revisited. Great for holding your plastics on your hook.
River 2 Sea - Whopper Plopper - Had them last year but was out of stock most of the year. They're back Yaay!!
Savage Gear - Suicide Ducks - two sizes and 3 colours of fish catching weirdness
Strike King - Walleye Elite Banana Shad
- Rage Menace punch baits. These should give off a ton of vibration
- Perfect Plastics - a line of new open pour plastics
Cal Coast Fishing - Cal Coast culling system - This is a really well designed culling system that stays on without piercing the fish
So this is the line up of new items at Paddletales.
See you this weekend.
