Conclusion:
The fisheye camera Jig allows you to put your underwater HD camera right into your fishing action. Mount your camera onto the camera Jig and connect it directly to your rod and reel. The patented design allows the camera to always point to the bait or lure. A standard, multi tension line release is included to allow the Jig and camera to act as a downrigger and for light line applications. Additional weights and floats can be added to vary the Orientation and position of the camera off the bottom. Works with all makes and models of underwater camera using a standard 1/4 inch x 29 tripod adapter and locknut. Stainless steel marine grade bow shackles allow for multiple connection points and angle changes. Downrigger line release included.
Rod transport has never been so safe, snug and efficient. Protect the tips of your rod, while preventing your line from knotting. Tuck N Tackle utilizes tension to give anglers a smart solution that takes seconds to secure.

Tuck N Tackle is designed to cover the tips of the rod during transport to protect against them from damage. Once the tips get damaged, the rod will rarely function the same. Tuck N Tackle is the only product designed to use line tension to maintain proper system alignment, keeping the line free from detrimental contact. Other products put unwanted stress on the line which can lead to damage. Due to the amount of tension that the Tuck N Tackle is built to allow, the line avoids the risk of loosening. A loose line results in knotting or bunching at the reel point.

Application:
With your drag set to medium, simply attach the hook to one of the guide mounts on the top half of the rod. Separate the top half and place the cap on the bottom half of the rod. Swing the top half like a clock arm around and insert the top half into the second hole. Allow the drag to hold both halves in the cap. Use the clip to attach the tip top of the rod to the handle. You’re ready to transport safely and with ease.

Conclusion:
Tuck N Tackle has been created as a solution for anglers who have limited time and don’t have extra space for transporting full length rods. Mission accomplished. This is a great little item for the angler on the go!
I, for one, love fishing soft plastics. Tubes, stickworms, grubs and paddle tails all have their time and place and so do shad/minnow/baitfish bodied plastics known as fluke style baits. The subtle realistic action can turn heads during the toughest of bites in the colder months and cold fronts alike. They can also be used in the dog days of summer and in a variety of situations as well, which makes this style of bait a well-rounded choice. The LFT “Magic Shad” is salt and garlic impregnated with a unique spade shaped tail that creates a great fluttering, vibrating action even on the fall. Seven staple color choices, along with durability, will make for many good days on the water ahead.
The LFT “Magic Shad” stands eye to eye with the top fluke style baits on the market. The detail, craftsmanship and color choices are true selling features, along with quality plastic of course. These are top shelf, top flight all the way.

The LFT “Magic Shad” gets top performance marks from me. Being a salt impregnated plastic, these baits are heavy and aerodynamic which contributes to long and precise casts even when rigged weightless. Also, the LFT “Magic Shad” is garlic infused, which entices the fish to bite and hold on much longer, allowing for higher hook-up percentages. The “Magic Shad” has a molded hook slot allowing for ease of rigging. This slot conceals the hook point making a weedless/snag-free presentation which is great for fishing in heavy cover or structure like docks, rocks or laydowns. Easy to rig, simple to use with its fluttering, vibrating action both on the twitch and on the pause, along with durability, make the “Magic Shad” a sought after staple in any Bass anglers arsenal.
Obviously, these baits are weightless soft plastics so it’s up to you to add weight in the form of a jig head or a bullet sinker/wide gap hook as needed. The subtle realism shines either way. As far as the range of sizes, the LFT “Magic Shad” comes in 5” only. I myself favor that length but adding a 3” version for neutral, finicky bass or possibly a 7” version for giant Bass or other fish of a larger variety might be something to consider. But really, the 5” version is perfect for all around Bass hunting and spring Pike of the north.
The LFT “Magic Shad” can be used in a variety of situations from open water schools of smallmouth chasing bait to territorial largemouth sitting under overhanging trees or docks. One of my favorite ways to present the “Magic Shad” is to rig them weightless/weedless, to be skipped under fallen tree limbs, old wooden docks, into dock cribs and undercut banks along river/creek channels. The durability and realism makes this a fabulous choice for these situations.

As mentioned, I believe that fluke style baits are a true staple in Bass fishing. The unique features that the LFT “Magic Shad” offers, such as salt and garlic infusion and its spade shaped, action tail really sets it apart. Great action and ergonomics, along with its diverse application properties make this bait a fish catching machine. To be honest, the effectiveness of this bait reinvigorated my love, and more importantly, my overall confidence in fishing this style of bait. Also, the price is absolutely fair which is a good thing, because I think I’ll be putting in a rather large order in very soon, and so should you.

The Baby Beaver XL is 14.5″ long and weighs 6 ounces (dry weight) and uses 8/0 hooks. Both sizes are available in 5 standard color patterns. The Baby Beaver is constructed of plastic with .051 wire molded into each body piece. Each body piece is hand tied with deer hairand connected together with split rings. The rubber tail is molded onto the hook and is attached to the bait with a split ring making it replaceable. The blade attachment (sold separately) clips onto the front eyelet of the bait, turning the Baby Beaver into a buck tail with a little attitude…it can be easily removed to go back to the natural swimming action of the Bait. Also available separately, are replacement rubber tails. At some point a little more detail in the head and face on the bait would be ideal.. Maybe more definition of the eyes..

The Baby Beaver is a unique blend of rubber and hair providing a swimming action during retrieve that is an almost irresistible target for a hungry Musky. The body is a 3 pieces and segmented to really provide a nice fluid swimming action in the water. Not to mention the free floating body segments absorb a lot of head shake shock landing more fish in the net.
