Old Town Topwater PDL Boat

 Newly released at ICAST 2018, the Old Town Topwater PDL boat will change the way you fish. Listen as David Hadden takes us through this fantastic fishing rig.

Old Town is proud to unveil its all-new Topwater™ Series, which offers great Old Town performance in a compact, nimble format. A marriage of stability and performance, the Topwater—with the all-new ultra-stable DoubleU™ hull—quietly glides through any water condition while providing a stable, comfortable stand-up fishing platform. Equipped with thoughtful onboard tackle and rod management and a revolutionary universal transducer mount, even the most discriminating anglers will be impressed by the overall fishability of the new Topwater Series: paddle versions Topwater 106 and Topwater 120; and a pedal-driven model, the Topwater PDL.

Sophisticated Swimbait

 

Ever Green’s new Last Ace 140 Swim sets new highwater mark in the swimbait category.

Swimbaits are one of the more recent bait-styles trying to keep ahead of the fish universe’s learning curve. Characteristics include baitfish silhouettes; mix of authentic and agitating patterns; and a seductively nonchalant motion that makes fish think, “you gotta be kidding me.”

Fact is, though, fish – bass in particular – have been seeing this same old movie for over a decade. Subsequently, to win back their attention, even a swimbait design demands improved authenticity. And that’s precisely what Ever Green has done with their new Last Ace 140 Swim.

Berkley Gulp! Dragon Tail

Catching fish can be challenging, especially when targeting finicky or larger species. Berkley Gulp! consistently proves its effectiveness with a superior scent dispersion formula that expands the strike zone 400 times more than its competitors, helping anglers catch more fish. The new Gulp! Saltwater Dragon Tail is a soft lure designed to entice fish with its sharp darting motion, triggering bites. Its slim body delivers subtle twitches on the fall and rise, while an erratic twitch on the retrieve mimicking a fleeing baitfish with uncanny realism. The pintail comes alive with the slightest movement, delivering an action that entices fish to bite. Combined with Gulp!'s flavor and extreme scent dispersion, this bait becomes almost irresistible to most inshore saltwater species.

The Gulp! Dragon Tail comes in 12 colors to match the hatch or draw maximum attention, perfect for all inshore fishing conditions. Anglers can rig them a variety of ways to accommodate several presentations. This must-have lure will be available October 2024.
