    Stubby Guide Glove and Pro 365 Guide Glove from Fish Monkey now in VOODOO SWAMP PURPLE and GREEN

    They’ve been referred to as “performance enhancing” and an “unfair advantage.” The fact nearly every wide receiver in the NFL and NCAA now uses gloves to protect their hands and grip pigskins should not go unnoticed by anglers. Apparently, it hasn’t been. Several seasons back, gloves designed for fishermen and women started showing up in grip-and-grin photos and live tournament coverage, everywhere. The reasons? Enhanced fishing performance and protection from outdoor elements.

    Seaguar premium lines provide insurance against heartbreak

    We’ve all been there before: the panfish trip interrupted by a giant pike; the speckled trout adventure that becomes a bull redfish circus; the after-work bass run that evolves into a battle with a mammoth flathead.
