Here at The Paddle Junkie headquarters we can never have enough hats. From a simple errand to a night on the town, we rarely go anywhere without a hat. Picking the right hat is all about pairing it as an accesory with your outfit. And trust me, there are plenty to choose from. We have simply hand picked a few and ranked them 1 - 5 with 1 being the worst and five being the best. But don't take our word for it. Go out, get a few and try for your selfs.

My buddy showed me some pictures of his favorite ice fishing group, and in almost every pic, the question was asked: what were you using and how. The answer was more complicated because of who wanted to share their secrets. Someone spilled the beans, and it happened to be Simcoe Bugs. The holographic and UV options are excellent from these guys, and what's not to like about supporting a small business. I think tungsten is the only way to go on the ice, and these guys do it right.

In today’s age of angling, advances in technology are now allowing anglers to locate fish more readily and interact with them in more ways than ever before. With the utilization of forward-facing sonar, more anglers are increasing their usage of “finesse techniques”, which require baits that are much smaller in presentation. The challenge for the angler then becomes how to cast farther and more precisely, so they can get their baits where they need to be when they need to be there.
