f you’re a bass junkie, odds are you’re a
tackle junkie. How can you not be? Don’t
worry, though, we’re not judging. Tackle
addiction is a good thing. And winter is the
best time of year to stock up on the goods.
You’ll have plenty of new stuff to choose
from, too. In addition to all the classics you’ll
need to have on hand, manufacturers spent
the last few months unveiling a smorgasbord
of new products for the 2018 fishing season,
and most of it is pretty cool. Some of it … not
so much.
That’s why we prepared this report. We
wanted to share with readers what we think
are the most interesting and innovative trends
in new-tackle development over the last six
months. It’s not a complete list of new gear,
but it should help prepare you for the upcom-
ing season as you stockpile what you need to
be more successful on the water.
