Don't buy every new lure you see! Purchase only the ones that have produced results in the past for you. Anyone can save money by doing this.

1.) Don't buy everything your favorite pro tells you to buy. Remember they do get paid to tell you that.

2.) Here's one I discovered a few weeks ago, when fishing brush hogs, after the head end gets ripped. Instead of trashing it, rip off a few inches and use it as a jig trailer. I did this one day when I ran out of some Chigger Craws and it worked.

3.) Learn the bow and arrow technique to get your lures loose.

And get them FIRED.............and maybe arrested for THEFT.

They have very specific rules about purchasing product for family, etc, etc.

After reading about the amount of dirt and debris that reels pick up in the back of the pickup or in the boat on the way to and from the ramp, I began looking into a cheap solution. Rather than making a cover from tarp material and velcro, I decided to make use of my old athletic socks that had seen better days. When slid from the bottom, even the reels on long handled baitcasting or spinning rods, are fully covered. The stretch in the sock and the elastic at the top keeps the cover snug yet easy to slide off and on.

I made my own culling system. Get a chain link stringer and pack of floaters. disconnect chain links in about 8 inch sections and connect a floater to one end. Works great and cost about $5 versus $15 for a regular culling system.

I often trailer in and out my boat on my own. I found using a bungee cord instead of a rope to tie off works better.

-Keep small magnets in the compartments of your tackle box where you keep loose hooks, swivels, split rings, etc., etc. It'll save you from a big mess to clean up if you happen to tip it over or accidentally drop it.

-If your crank baits don't dive to your desired depth try rigging them up drop shot style. Sounds silly but it works! It also allows you to retrieve slower if need be and it'll keep your line off the bottom preventing it from getting all banged up on the rocks.

-For the shore fishermen... Keep a fish tank thermometer in your tackle box. Knowing the water temp can help you decide how and where to fish. This is especially useful in the spring and fall.

-If you have some favorite soft plastics buy them in bulk online.

-Make marks on your rod for a quick way to measure fish.
