With the new Berkley PowerBait Manic Shad, anglers have a soft plastic bait paired with the power of PowerBait and the action of a hard bait.

The new Berkley Gulp! Goby is a 4-inch bait with a realistically big head.

SnoBear is a new kind of recreational vehicle that’s part snowmobile, part car, part boat, part mobile ice hut, part bunkhouse and a whole lot more.

The Berkley® Gulp!® Punch Craw is ideally suited for any heavy cover application. Its sleek design is perfect for punching through mats, vegetation and other heavy cover, while the lifelike action of the craw wings trigger instant strikes.

Bait Tamer can be used with any swimming bait.

"What’s the best lure to catch walleyes with?" "Do those porky things really catch huge pike?" "What lure should I buy for trout fishing?" "Are poppers the best baits for bass, or are tube jigs better?" These are typical of the types of questions we get asked every day by mail and on the Real Fishing website, from anglers from all across the country.

Shimano’s popular Curado baitcasting reels have been souped up for 2006 with the new D series that feature a blazing fast 7.0:1 gear ratio.

New for 2006, Lindy’s No-Snagg Cent’r Slip Sinker allows through-the-center line feed for tighter-to-the-bottom rig fishing. The No-Snagg in-line approach is vegetation-resistant and reduces line wear.

The knot you tie to connect your line to your hook or lure, to attach leaders, or to tie any number of specialty rigs, is the main link in the chain that connects you to the fish. It doesn’t matter how good your rod, reel, line or hook is, if you don’t use a quality knot you’re not going to land many fish.
