| every winter i restock on lures and line and usually pick up a couple of "new" items to test out. most times there are one or two things that catch my interest and i look forward the most to using next summer.
what are you most excited to try out next year? |

| this year the 2 things that i'm most excited about aren't even lures, and both of them are being marketed by Musky Armor.

Mike Hulbert's Net Light:
it's just plain a good idea. yep, with a little effort i could probably cobble something together on my own, but it's cheap price makes buying it much more sensible imho.

Brandyn Shepherd's bump board:
more durable, brighter colors, and it floats. perfect!

Location: Moline,IL | I really like the idea of a floating bump board! I believe that is much safer for the fish. Very nice.
I haven't bought any new toys yet but I plan buying one of the saltwater reels for double 10s and 13s. |

| I got a new bumpboard, don't plan on floating it, I think diping it before the fish touches it is sufficient, but I really like that it reads right to left and that its color coded. Got a nice camera in fall I didn't get to do too much with other than take pics of fish I netted.
Other than that, a new boat would be nice, but what I most look forward to using......................Whatever baits hits the water first!
Bring on the spring

Also like the Jimmy and Pro Dawg, the Water Dog from RubberHairy Tackle, and the little creeper and spinnerbaits from Monster Lures!!
Is it May Yet?

Location: Racine, Wi | I was lucky enough to run into Roger Waters and pick up some more Hardheads and a weight set from Jomusky. Can't wait to get those chewed up this year. The one I got last year seemed to attract some fishies to the net. Now with a few more colors and a GOOD weight set, the fish don't have a chance!!!!! |

Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | Hey E-Fly,
Add muskies on a fly to my other new toys as well. Ill be building a fly rod (gift) next month for muskies. My wife bought me a gift cert for a local shop to build my own rod. Never tried muskies on the fly. What specs should I try to incorporate in my rod???? I'm thingking 10 wt. but beyond that, since I'm new to the fly casting muskies, I have no idea. reply via PM... dont want to hijack the thread.

Location: WI | Lee's Chopper, Corey Meyer Globe and Flaptail, Rylure Flaptail, St Croix Avid reel, and hopefully a new 8.5 or 9ft rod. Don't really need too much new stuff, just need to focus and put the time in. |
