Bending Branches Angler Pro Carbon, a “Wow” Factor Paddle by Bill Schultz | Apr 23, 2019 | Fishing, ReviewsI have been giving kayak fishing talks for 10 years and in each one I suggest to those in the audience that they don’t scrimp on their paddle. I tell them to buy the most expensive, lightest paddle they can afford. A heavy paddle will make a day on the...
Don’t Overlook Your Paddle by Bill Schultz | Jan 17, 2019 | Fishing, KrakenI’ve touched on this in the past, but after the kayak itself, the next big question relates to your paddle. For years I have recommended buying the lightest, most expensive paddle you can afford. Andrew Stern, Marketing Director for Bending Branches and...
Takin It Easy With Pup by clinttaylor | Nov 29, 2018 | Big Tuna, Fishing, Internationalisation, United StatesFor quite a while now I have not been able to get out on the water to do some actual fishing. This is mainly due to a packed schedule, but also very unfavorable weather! Although I don’t have the time right now to go fishing all day, I do have enough time to...
First Came the Paddle then the Kayak by Jay Randall | Oct 9, 2018 | Coosa HD, Fishing, KilroyThe one thing that a lot of kayak anglers and/or paddlers don’t take into consideration before buying a kayak is their paddle. There’s not a lot of guidance, from what I’ve seen, at most retailers and even at some specialty kayak shops. This is hands down one of the...
Pick-A-Paddle by joey monteleone | Sep 24, 2018 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United StatesI fall into the category of folks who got into kayak fishing as an angler first and a paddler second. Not taking the time to select the right paddle is a mistake! Your paddle is nearly always in your hands and one of the most important pieces of equipment in your...
Flicking Flies for Bluegill by joey monteleone | May 16, 2018 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United StatesFor many anglers the first fish they wrap their hands around is the bluegill. One of the feistiest fish, if they got to five pounds you’d probably never get one in your grip. There are as many ways to catch them as there are places. Years back it could have been a...
What Will You Have Seen in 2018 by joey monteleone | Jan 8, 2018 | Big Rig, FishingWhere will 2018 take you? After living in Missouri for 30 years, the brave new world of Tennessee called me. The next three and a half decades (don’t bother doing the math) were spent searching for the waters loaded with trophy fish. Work restrictions of a real job...
Nature and Human Nature by joey monteleone | Nov 23, 2017 | Fishing, Internationalisation, United StatesI’m fond of saying you can’t beat Mother Nature or cheat Father Time. Kayaking in any form puts you eventually to the test. Wind, rain, heat, cold, current and more all are factors in padding in search of fish or fun. One look at whitewater activity gives you a view...
One For the Money by joey monteleone | Sep 3, 2017 | Big Rig, Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Internationalisation, Lure reviews, Reviews, United Statesnvariably the question is eventually asked, “If you could only have one lure to catch bass what would it be?” Given the artificial lure avalanche created when I dump out a tackle box and the spectrum of lures available to today’s bass angler it seems like a crazy...
