Tackle Talk

Share your preferences and opinions. Give positive reasons for favoring a product. Tell us about successful experiences and how the equipment contributed. Please send negative comments and comparisons to the manufacturers instead of posting them here. This board is not about comparison shopping and searching for prices. It is about personal opinions about tackle as it relates to fishing not shopping. Swap and Sell is about buying and selling and there are links to shops and buying tackle on the tackle shops board.
