FISHING LINE
SHIMANO MASTIFF FC
Mastiff is Shimano’s new fluorocarbon line that is made from high-quality materials that have been tested and verified over a long period of time. One of the key features of Mastiff is its low linear elongation, which allows anglers to feel even the slightest pecking or disturbance on the line. Mastiff is also wear-resistant, making it ideal for use in thick cover. The line possesses a supple feel making it easy to cast and control. Mastiff delivers smooth, responsive performance that anglers can rely on. The NanoArmor Technology increases the binding strength of knots giving you stronger more secure connections to your lure and the fish. See more at Fish.Shimano.com.

VICIOUS PLATINUM STRENGTH FLUOROCARBON LEADER
This is a 100% Japanese Fluorocarbon created for the guys fishing tougher conditioners. Of course it keeps all the characteristics anglers want such as low visibility under water, sensitivity, etc. But this one just comes with extra abrasion resistance. By spring we will have it in all sizes from 4lb up to 30lb, but available immediately is the 8lb, 10lb and 12lb test. It will come on small 30-yard spools to reduce space needed for storage and, being leader, the smaller length to keep line from going bad before it’s used up. MSRP ranges from 6.99 up to $15.99.
VICIOUS EZ LEADER
The EZ Leader is a simple nylon swivel that simplifies the process of connecting a main line to a leader. This was create primarily for the angler that hasn’t learned to properly tie two lines together. Following up on the 30lb option from two years ago, we are now selling two new SKUs for lighter line. These are the 10lb and 20lb options. The advantage of the lighter lb test is the smaller knots where they connect the main line to the leader. These sold in 5-packs and retail for $5.99. They are available immediately.
SUNLINE TEPA TAPERED FC LEADER
Tepa is a 100% fluorocarbon leader that combines two pound-tests into one leader with a proprietary tapered design. These leaders are uniquely manufactured to taper from a larger pound test to a smaller pound test from one end of the leader to the other end. This benefit allows an angler to use an upsized pound test on either end for applications where a larger or smaller leader is needed. For example, the larger size can be tied to a lure when an angler wants to have greater strength and abrasion resistance at his knot and the first part of the leader. The line then tapers down to a smaller size for joining to the mainline braid. Alternately, the larger end could also be tied to the mainline knot connection to provide greater strength and abrasion resistance at the knot while the leader tapers down to a smaller size at the lure knot for fish that are wary of line size. The tapered structure of this leader allows an angler to strengthen either the knot area or mainline connection of a leader without having to upsize the whole leader.
SUNLINE SUPER NATURAL NO FLEA LINE
All the great characteristics of our best selling nylon line, Super Natural with an additional processing step added to the line’s surface. No Flea features a proprietary processing on the line’s surface to prevent Spiny Water Fleas from accumulating on the line and impacting trolling lures and rigs. Fleas are a nuisance when trolling in certain seasons, when they collect and remain on the line. Fleas collecting on the line affect trolling performance and clogging of the rod tip. Super Natural No Flea is available in a 1200yd spool and dark green color in 30lb and 40lb. MSRP $34.99 and $37.99.
SUNLINE SIGLON PE AMX X8 BRAID
Siglon PE AMZ is an eight-strand high performance braided line. AMZ features a new special processing of braided line strands. Performance Sustainable Processing (PSP) is done on this product which significantly prolongs the initial performance of the braided line. SPS maintains the initial smoothness and durability of the braided line to help it keep performing at peak performance. By preventing fraying and maintaining initial slickness casting distance and feel remains at initial levels. AMZ is a great choice for spinning or baitcast reels and any technique where braided line is the choice. Available in orange and dark green colors.
SUNLINE OVERWATCH METERED 8 STRAND BRAID
Overwatch is an eight-strand high performance ULT braid designed for use on spinning reels. Overwatch is a metered braid that has repeating sections of 12” chartreuse and 30” green. The high visibility chartreuse sections improve bite detection and easier line watching. The green sections provide camouflage for the line if needed in certain situations. The metered pattern is quickly identifiable to the eye when cast out. Overwatch features a slick surface to reduce guide friction which improves casting distance with light lures. This braid also has a high flexibility to provide improved performance with spinning reels. Available in a 125-yard spool.

TERMINAL TACKLE
GAMAKATSU BEAD HOOK
Bead fishing is one of the most popular techniques for salmon and steelhead. The Bead Hook is constructed out of Gamakatsu’s TGW (Tournament Grade Wire). The TGW wire is thinner, strong and sharper than the standard wire. The smaller wire penetrates the hard jaw plate more easily, helping keep bigger salmon and steelhead pinned and on the line. The surface of each hook is coated with the Gamakatsu’s Nano Alpha Coating that additionally improves hook penetration.
GAMAKATSU CATFISH CIRCLE WEEDLESS HOOK
Bill Dance is a name that is synonymous with bass fishing, but one of his greatest passions is chasing down giant catfish. Bill teamed up with Gamakatsu to develop a weedless catfish hook that could be fished in the heaviest wood cover without getting snagged. Bill frequently targets trophy catfish in rivers, and he often wants his baits in and around snags, laydowns and trashpiles where big catfish live. This hook allows anglers to deliver their baits into hard-to-reach places, while preventing snags. This hook is designed around Gamakatsu’s 221 Series Octopus Circle (Inline Point) Hook and is equipped with a custom weedguard.
EAGLE CLAW SNAP WEIGHT QUICK RELEASE LINE CLIPS

MUSTAD ALPHAPOINT TRIPLE GRIP TREBLE HOOK
A perfect choice for upgrading stock hooks on hard baits, the AlphaPoint® Triple Grip Short Shank 2/0 treble (ITG76) hook features a modified design that creates a wider gap than similar-sized round bend trebles.

BAITFUEL HARDBAIT STICK
The BaitFuel Hardbait Stick utilizes F.A.S.T. technology to stimulate a fish’s predatory instinct and provoke key predatory aggression habits, resulting in more bites and longer hold times. This scent cloud expands your strike zone and brings more fish to your bait, keeping them biting cast after cast, even in pressured bass situations. When you see fish come up on forward-facing sonar or nose your bait in shallow smallmouth scenarios, the BaitFuel Hardbait Stick will entice them to strike and fuel your passion for fishing.
DO-IT MOLDS HATCHET CRAW
One thing you will notice about this bait is the attention to detail in the midsection of the body. The subtle bumps add depth to the craw style body, and the hook slot is perfect for any weedless rigging presentation. Looking at the claws on this bait, you can see why the name is “Hatchet Craw”, if you remember the early days of spinnerbaits, you might think this shape is familiar. It is designed to reflect the Hatchet blades, which creates a unique action that could be described as more of a rotating flutter motion than a standard hard kicking soft plastic. MSRP $92.
