Catching Summer Smallmouth Bass on Poppers

5 days ago | fieldandstream.com | T. Edward Nickens

The fish took its own sweet time, as smallmouth bass will sometimes do, eyeballing the rubber-legged popper as it drifted along the edge of a grass bed. I followed with the rod tip. You can’t rush fishing like this. You shouldn’t rush anything, in fact, when the summer sun is blazing overhead and sweat runs down your back. So I mended the line upstream, and let the popper ride. “Give it a twitch,” Wesley Hodges said.

These days, with every deer hunter and his brother running trail cameras and able to keep tabs on specific bucks for years, we sometimes hear about 7-1/2, 8-1/2, or even 9-1/2-year-old or older whitetails finally wearing a tag after an epic campaign.

Okuma X-Series Casting Rod, Expert Tested

1 week ago | fieldandstream.com | Shaye Baker

Out of the dozen different models and blanks in our baitcasting rod test, the Okuma X-Series came out on top. It is everything a high-end bass rod should be—light, strong, and capable—without the $500 price tag. I spent all spring putting this rod through the wringer with various baits and techniques. No matter what I threw or how I fished it, the X-Series was up for the task. Premium bass fishing rods might not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering Okuma. At least it didn't for me.

The Best Trap Shotguns of 2025

2 weeks ago | fieldandstream.com | Phil Bourjaily

Trap is a simple game. The shots aren’t difficult, and the targets are the same everywhere you go. All you have to do is not miss. Then, you get into a shoot-off with everybody else who didn’t miss, and you don’t miss some more. Then you win. Being simple doesn’t make trap easy. It takes tremendous mental toughness to stay in the moment and focus only on breaking the next bird in competition.
