WHATS HOT THIS SPRING!!The weather outside is heating up and there are fish to catch and turkey to hunt. We would like to take some time to share with you a few hot items that we have heard nothing but good things about. We have noticed again this year that Shimano seems to be the top dog in the fishing world. Over half of all of our fishing sales are for Shimano products. The best selling spinning reel has been the Shimano Spirex Re series reels. These reels offer tons of features at a very good price. The top seller is the Spirex 2500RE, this mid size reel will get the job done for most lake and river fisherman. The Shimano Curado tops the list for baitcasters and the Tekota still leads for conventional reels. Okuma is another company that also offers a terrific line of quality fishing gear. The best seller for us in the Okuma line has got to be the Okuma Magda Combo′s. These great trolling combos are offered in both an 8′6" and 10′ line counter combo. These combos are awesome for the Great Lakes fisherman who spends the bulk of his time trolling for Salmon, Steelhead, Walleye, etc. These combos are a main stay on my boat and served me very well. Now onto the great world of archery. We attended the Archery Trade show this past January in Atlanta and saw thousands of items, here are a few that caught our eye. We really liked the Carbon Express Maxima 3d select arrows. These arrows offer the buff tuff finish, and unbelievable weight and straightness tolerences. The Maxima Hunter shafts last year got rave reviews and we believe these will do the same. As far as bow sights we have 2 that really stuck out the Copper John Dead Nuts 2 series and the Extreme RT series are both really great sights for this year. That is not to say that Spot Hogg, Cobra, and even Truglo were not impressive, but we felt the Extreme and Copper John sights were awesome. In the world of electronics the most impressive thing we found was that the digital trail cameras have come down drastically in price. It will be possible to buy a 4mp+ camera this fall for under $180.00. Moultrie and Leaf River were 2 manufacturers that seem to be on top of their game. As far as hunting is concerned we are still very impressed with the Primos line of hunting calls and accessories. The new Wet Box turkey call can be completely submerged in water and still produce awesome calls time after time. The Sonic and A-frames series mouth calls both still are our top selling mouth calls for the second year in a row. The mini series in both these calls are great for women children and adults with smaller pallets. The new Primos Turkey Strap is a great idea that will make toting that big gobbler out of the woods alot easier.

The outdoors is for everyone to enjoy, and we hope you can take some one special with you to share in the memories. |
