Paquette Doing Off Season Work

Garrett Paquette isn't letting the fact that he is without his new boat keep him from doing his homework for the upcoming 2023 season. Paquette simply hooked up his Humminbird Solix to a Dakota Lithium battery and is able to do extensive map study on the new Lakemaster Premium VX cards. Map study of upcoming tournament locations has become a major component of preparation for most touring pros.

5. Baits Not Being Talked About

Designed to not only look like the food source of predatory fish, the BladeRunner Duh Spoons offer the perfectly balanced fluttering action that consistently make spoons so deadly for catching predatory fish. A great way to catch fish in deep water, the Duh Spoons are also great any time bass are actively feeding on bait fish. Proven over and over to catch fish and lots of them, the Blade Runner Duh Spoons deliver a realistic baitfish profile and tremendous action for deep and shallow water fishing. Check out the full lineup here,

Backwater Outfitters

Going on six years now, Backwaters Outfitters has held their annual Christmas giveaway.  They started it on November 15th this year, and every time you spend $25 dollars at Backwaters your name is registered on a card that is entered into a drawing. They get donations from some of their vendors and other businesses around the Lexington, Kentucky area. On December 23rd, they do a drawing for the winner. On the day of the drawing, they usually have around 100 to 150 people in the store, they do door prizes throughout the day as people come in to see who wins the drawing of all the prizes that have been donated. It's like a spring open house event in the store at Christmas time each year. Check out a short video explaining the annual tradition here. If you are in the area make sure to stop by and get in on the action!

Ken Mah Wants You To Stop Wasting Line

California pro Ken Mah is sponsored by Sunline, but that doesn't mean he likes to be wasteful when it comes to his line. Mah recently posted a social media video which offered up a very simple hack to keep you from unnecessarily having to dispose of line when switching reels, or re-spooling with a different lb test. Mah simply uses a nut, bolt, and a drill to make the magic happen. Check out this awesome trick here.
