Penn has re-engineered and re-introduced its legendary Spinfisher series of saltwater spinning reels. Called the Spinfisher V, the reels feature an all-metal body, a waterproof sealed drag system, a heavy-duty main shaft and gears, and a rugged bail arm. The reels range from the in-shore, light-tackle 3500 up to the 10500 model that will take on bluefin tuna and other big game species. Stop in the store to check them. And of course we have a wide selection of rods to match whichever Spinfisher V you choose.

Savage Sandeels, featuring a polished jig-hand life-like vibrating plastic tail, last year were the go-to but hard-to-find lures, especially for anglers fishing the Canal. For this season, we've assembled a large selection of the 3-1/2 and 5-1/4 ounce Sandeels, in a wide range of colors. Particularly efffective are the blue and green mackerel patterns. If you're not a Canal "rat," you'll find the Sandeels to be an effective bait when jigging the rips and deep holes, or casting into the rocks around Nobska or along the Islands.

Luremakers are pushing the envelope when it comes to hard plastic saltwater baits. There are still plenty of simply painted wooded and plastic plugs -- and they're still effective. But increasingly companies like Sebile, Yo-Zuri and Daiwa are using technology to create plugs with prismatic and holographic finishes in rainbows of color. In the water, this new generation of plugs shimmer and flash, some changing colors as the angle of light changes. So stop in and take a look at our wide selection of Sebile Magic Swimmers and Stick Shads, Yo-Zuri Deep Divers and Crystal Minnows and Daiwa SP Minnows.
