What To Wear When Freshwater Fishing?

Have you given much thought as to what you should wear when you go freshwater fishing?

OK – so I got an e-mail from Joseph at Ap3xpr3dator.com asking me to review his line of products for him. Joseph seems like a nice guy and has made a few comments at the blog so I agree to a review (plus I get to keep the “product” – good deal, huh?)

So what does Ap3xPr3dator have to offer – why fishing shirts and other fishing related clothing of course. Hence the topic for this post.

I don’t know about you, but when I go freshwater fishing I like to wear darker colored clothing so that when fishing from the shoreline, my clothing won’t scare any potential catches from taking my offering. Of course if you’re fishing in a very deep lake, the color won’t matter much, but instead you’ll want something to protect you from the sun.

I told Joseph that I preferred darker colors when fishing and he sent me 2 very nice shirts to try out. My favorite and my wife’s favorite also, was a black short sleeved shirt with a cool big mouth bass on the back. You can see the design here: Cool Bass Design

I also received a dark maroon shirt with a trout slayer design on the back – very unique! And since I like wearing shirts with unique designs, I even wore it to a band practice that night! Lots of nice comments on the shirt from the guys!

I waited until I washed the shirts before doing a review, because so many shirt’s designs crack and peel after going through the washer and dryer, but not these. These are nice high quality shirts – no problems with cracking, fading or peeling.

So I’m very impressed with the overall quality and wearability of the Ap3xPr3dator line of shirts. I also noticed as I browsing Joseph’s site that he has lighter weight long sleeve shirts available to help give maximum uv protection while we’re out having fun catching fish.

So if you’re looking for some nice quality shirts for fishing, go check out the shirts at Ap3xPr3dator.com – I’m sure you’ll find something that you’ll like as well.

PS – the prices are good too! $12 – $19 with free shipping if you buy 2 or more!

Catch you later!

New Fishing Hooks

All I can say is … Wow! I met Ron Baskett on Twitter and he told me he had some new hooks to try out.

So I gave him my e-mail and home address and Ron, being the generous guy he is, sent me some free hook samples as well as a free T-shirt and some free bait holder straps! What a nice guy! (Thank you Ron!)

What is so special about Ron’s new hook? Well it’s not really the hook so much as it’s how you “tie” your line to the hook. You actually don’t tie the hook onto your line – you kind of wrap the hook on. It’s fast and easy and the best part … you retain 98% of your line’s strength by “tying” it this way. Very nice!

The hooks are well made and have very sharp points, but the ease and simplicity of getting the hook on your line are almost unbelievable! He has a video on his site that shows you the hook and how easy it is to use. OK – So do yourself a favor and go check these out now!
