Can a Fish Hook be Too Sharp?

Berkley hooks are engineered to be sharpest on the market.

Bass anglers understand the importance of sharp hooks, though most don’t practice their hook sharpening skills often enough. The new Berkley Fusion19™ hooks give novice and avid anglers the sharpest hooks that stay sharper longer than any other on the market. 

Berkley SWB70

These needle-point hooks are designed to withstand the toughest, thickest cover without damaging structural integrity. The traditionally rich Japanese philosophy of making superior swords and knives combined with a technologically-advanced polymer coating called Slickset™ gives anglers the advantage. Utilizing Slickset coating, Fusion19 hooks easily penetrate with less force to catch more fish, and conserve energy during long days on the water. 

The versatile family of Fusion19 hooks includes nine bass-specific designs including extra-wide gap (EWG), superline EWG, weedless EWG, weighted EWG, offset worm, dropshot, heavy cover, swimbait and weighted swimbait hooks. 

Each package of Fusion19 hooks features an innovative, resealable clam for easier storage. Fusion19 packaging helps novice and advanced anglers quickly, while fishing or at the store, identify the hook to best suit their need. On each package, there are easy-to-read keys to identify which soft baits work best with each hook.

Fusion19 hooks have a smoke satin finish and an MSRP of $3.99 to $5.99, in counts from four to eight hooks per package.

Hogue OverMolded Rifle Stocks

Hogue OverMolded rubber rifle stocks are molded from durable synthetic rubber that is neither spongy nor tacky yet provides a soft recoil absorbing feel without affecting accuracy. This modern rubber requires a completely different molding process than ordinary neoprene, resulting in a superior stock. The flexibility of Hogue’s materials and molding process has allowed them to produce rubber stocks with features that outperform others.

Hogue stocks

The design process for Hogue’s Tactical Thumbhole stock leveraged the company’s considerable experience in competition shooting. From butt pad to forend the emphasis on ergonomics and function is obvious: the forend is wider and more curvaceous than the company’s “Sporter” style rifle stock for more stability when used without a bipod; the pistol grip enables a natural, secure, comfortable grip angle; the cheek weld enhances fast target acquisition through a rifle scope and the bench rest hook opens up different shouldering options depending on the shooting situation.

Designed primarily for heavy-barreled (.920 inch diameter) 10/22 rifles, the new stock will also accommodate standard contour barrels. Tactical Thumbhole rifle stocks are available in Black (MSRP $109.95) OD Green, Flat Dark Earth, Ghillie Green, or Purple (MSRP $129.95 for colors). Like Hogue’s Tactical Thumbhole 10/22 stocks are also available for two-piece takedown style 10/22 carbines for both standard and .920 inch diameter barrels.

Serious Stopping Ammo in 7.62 x 39mm

G2 Research announces a specialized new 7.62×39 mm AK/SKS round for hunting and self-defense use. The G2 Research 7.62×39 Ripout Round is engineered to deliver serious penetration and produce a huge temporary and permanent wound even at the lower velocities inherent of this round (about 2,270 fps).

 G2’s 124-grain, pure premium copper bullet expands (or, more accurately, opens up) into three large petals (tridents) of razor-edged copper making a corkscrew-cutting chunk of hot, sharp metal about the diameter of a quarter; big by any account.

 According to company spokesman Chris Nix, “The design construction keeps the bullet intact, creating excellent penetration and a massive wound channel, resulting in quick and humane big game kills in this loading. It’s very efficient as a bush country hunting round and it is also suppressor-friendly.”

 Whether it’s the humble SKS the popular AK-47 or new model short-throw bolt-action rifles chambered in this popular caliber, if it’s low-recoil, accuracy and near-instant game killing performance one wants, the 7.62×39 Ripout Round is at the performance peak. Learn more at www.G2Rammo.com.

New Acme Rattle Master Sounds Off

Rattle adds compelling reasons for fish to bite.

Acme’s new “Rattle Master” adds sound to its roster of fish-attracting features! A jewelry-like finish draws them in while the built-in rattle closes the deal. Whether in fresh or salt water, pan-sized trout up to bragging-sized game fish, they can’t resist the Rattle Master. It casts like a bullet, and being made from solid brass, won’t bend, break, corrode or dull even in salt water. It’s great for vertical jigging during ice-season too.

Matt Bichanich, the National Sales Manager for Hard and Soft Fishing, the parent company of ACME lures, said that it was time to kick things up a notch for this proven lure.

“The Kastmaster spoon is iconic,” he said. “And catches all types of fish for open water salt or fresh water, but it also is deadly for ice fishing, due to it’s awesome finish that refracts light and pulls fish in. But we are always researching new ways to attract fish and adding a rattle does just that.”

There is no other spoon that is as versatile as the original Kastmaster, but by adding a rattle, Bichanich knew that they would have a bait that went the extra mile for anglers, looking to catch a variety of species.

“The benefit of the new Rattle Master is that a person can go out and catch nearly anything that swims,” he said. “From walleyes under the ice, to suspending crappies, to bass hanging on the weed edges, to Great Lakes species, an angler can fish with one bait and catch anything. With people battling a ton of events from sports to family outings, we wanted a bait that would give them the most productive time on the water.”

The new Rattle Master will be available in the Fall of 2016. The lure comes in1/24oz-3/8oz sizes in the following series: Tiger Glow Series, Rattle Standard Series, Rattle Tiger Series, Rattle Baitfish UV Series, Rattle Baitfish UV/Glow Series.
