A deadly collaboration between Tackle Warehouse and Savage Gear, the Savage Gear Soft Shine Glide 7″ Glide Bait is built to draw wary predators from their hideouts with hyper-realistic swimming and gliding action. Featuring a line-thru treble, the modified feathered hook is built to efficiently tuck-in a molded belly slot to lock the treble hook in place, dislodging from its position as soon as a fish is hooked. Designed to be fished on medium to fast retrieves to ignite the tail action, after pausing on a steady retrieve the Soft Shine wanders to the side, appearing as an inquisitive or wounded baitfish. For a more erratic action, work the Savage Gear Soft Shine Glide 7″ Glide Bait with a chop/twitch cadence, twitching your rod as if you’re fishing a topwater to produce a walk-in-place action right below the surface. Ideal for fishing around docks or isolated laydowns, the Savage Gear Soft Shine Glide 7″ Glide Bait draws fish out of cover and produces heart-stopping strikes thanks to its ability to work side-to-side in a stationary position. Check out the full selection here.

On October 14, 2024, iconic trolling motor manufacturer MotorGuide announced they will cease production. All trolling motor production going forward will come under the Lowrance® and Simrad® brands, which their parent company, Navico, says will allow them to “provide anglers with the most advanced and seamlessly connected fishing systems.” MotorGuide started operation in 1947 and has been building trolling motors ever since. Their motor gained popularity in the 1960s, thanks to its easy-to-use nature. They helped pioneer the use of wireless controls, freeing anglers to walk about the boat. The Tour Pro was the first true cable-steer trolling motor with GPS anchor capability, making it an angler favorite. They have had a significant presence in the bass scene, but Navico is looking to their other brands for trolling motor production going forward. Check out more details here.
