Beefy Bags
We are enjoying
great success with our Buggy Bag Sea Anchors, but we are not
sleeping. We are adding the new BEEFY Buggy Bag Sea Anchors to our
collections. These bags are made with 2" webbing and a webbing
around the mouth of the bag to help reinforce it. The
preliminary tests show that these bags have handled the really big
boats (up to 50') without failure. We took a 50' Post from 4.5
mph to 1.8 mph without trolling valves using four 48" Buggy Bags. We
are offering these Beefy Bags in all four sizes, with the emphasis
on the 36' and 48' sizes. The costs is a little more per
bag, but it is well worth it.
Buggy Bag Sea Anchors
Nineteen years
ago, I bought a sea anchor (trolling bag) from one of the big name
marine suppliers. I hooked it up to my charter boat and went
fishing. Two hours later, the bag blew out from the pressure of the
moving boat as we trolled along looking for Lake Erie walleyes. I
took the bag back to the store where they cheerfully gave me another
bag. Figuring that I probably got a bad bag to begin with, I
loaded the new bag up and promptly blew that one out also. The store
cheerfully refunded my money, but left me without a means of slowing
by boat to proper trolling speed. I heard of an Amish tarp maker not
far from me and went searching for him. Since he doesn't
advertise, or have a sign out, the only way I found him was by word
of mouth and the thirty or so boats in his yard. I asked him
if he could make a sea anchor that had a better chance of holding up
to the pressure of trolling. He didn't know. He
had never made one. After a little trial and error, the Buggy Bag
Trolling Bag was born.
The majority of
the charter captains in the central basin of Lake Erie now use these
bags. Their durability has far exceeded my expectations. The local
shops have carried them for a few years now, and it's time to branch
out to the nation.
These bags come
in seven sizes. All sizes are measured in open diameter. The size of
the bag needed is dependent largely upon the size of the boat, the
speed of the boat with no bags out, and how slow you need your boat
to go. The following measurements are just a guideline.
The 15" and 18"
bags are used on 12' to 20' boats. The 22" bag is used on boats from
20' to 24'. The 28" bag is used on boats from 24' to 30'. I have a
27' Sportcraft that weighs 6500 lbs., and I use a 28" bag every day.
This bag will take me from 3.2 MPH to 2.2 MPH. When I need to go
slower than 2.2 MPH, I have a 36" bag on the other side of the boat.
the 36" bag is used for boats from 28' to 32'. The 48" bag is used
for boats bigger than 32'. The 60" Whomper is for very special
applications.
I almost always
run only one bag. The exceptions are when I am in a big following
sea, when I am Spring salmon fishing in water that is only 34 to 38
degrees, or Fall fishing for walleyes in 40 degree water.
I recommend
using a 3/8" or bigger line from the boat to the front of the bag,
and the same from the rear of the bag to the boat. Adjust the
line to the back of the bag so that it doesn't swing under the boat
and into the prop, rudder, or outdrive.
I generally
recommend that boats under 26' to 28' run two bags to balance out
the steering of the boat. One on each side amidships.
If you order
bags and they are either too small or too large, call me and I will
buy them back and get you into the proper sized bags. Getting your
boat tuned right is our objective.
Drift Bag Harness
We made a Drift Bag
Harness to keep our Drift Bags away from the boat, for better
control. The Harness is 12' long with a float, clip, and carabineer
on the end.
Fish Lift

I have clients on my boat, women, children and, yes, men who want their picture with their fish but don't want to touch the icky things. For those people, we have the "Fish Lift". Aluminum stock makes these light and corrosion free but still strong. Slip the pointed end into the gills of the fish and lift. A second "Fish Lift" can be used to hold up the back end of the fish. The "Fish Lift " will also fit over a 2x4 to hold fish for hanging pictures, or, when used with another Lift, can be used for hanging deer or other game for dressing.
Cool Wraps

After the 4th ninety degree day on Lake Erie, I
had to run a double trip. Between trips, I sat below in my cabin on
the boat with a fan blowing on me and had a wet towel on my head and
neck. It felt wonderful.
I found these "Cool Wraps" and tried one on. I
soaked it in water and put it in my cooler for an hour. The crystals
inside swelled up, and I put the wrap around my neck. Instant
relief! They will be on my boat from now on.
After they dry, the crystals shrink, ready for the
next time. They can be used over and over again. They are machine
washable.
Trophy Wraps
A client on my boat caught two 10+ lb walleyes
this November. He said that they would look great mounted in his
office facing each other.
He wanted to know how to get his fish to the
taxidermist in good shape. For lack of anything better, we put the
fish in garbage bags and sent him on his way.
The Trophy Wraps would have gotten his fish to the
taxidermist in much better condition.
These wraps are very simple but can be very handy.
Wash off any slime and dirt from the fish and open
the kit. Take out the cloth and soak it in clean water. Lay the fish
on the cloth and wrap the fish completely with the wet cloth. Slide
the fish into the large bag and secure with the accompanying zip
tie. Lay the fish flat in a cooler or freezer until you can get to
the taxidermist.
Aprons
After ruining my
umpteenth shirt with fish blood and slime, I needed help. Since I
don' t do laundry worth a darn, I went looking for an apron for fish
cleaning. I found plenty for barbecuing and washing dishes, but
nothing that would keep me dry. I had my Amish tarp maker friend
make me an apron. Nothing fancy, just something I could slip on,
wash off, and hang up.
He made a big one for me, and a
medium one for my son. We put in a small one for my wife. (Just
kidding). They are made of a vinyl coated material that is
completely water proof and scrubbable.
We now have aprons with a front
pocket.
The large size is 53" long and 27"
wide.
The medium size is 47" long and 24" wide.
The small size is 40" long and 21" wide.
Fishing Butlers
I found some quick tie and release
devices in my travels.
They were originally made for
securing fishing rods when you break them down for storage, but I
have gotten feedback from people using them for anything from
holding drop cloths on posts to holding chicken necks on crab long
lines.
They come in a two pack.
Bait Head Pouch
Stores up to 16 prerigged cut bait
heads or rigged howie flies.
Clear plastic pouches with a clear
plastic cover.
Folds in half with a Velcro strap for
closure and storage.
Lures not included.
I have redone the bait head pouch.
Each pocket now has a velcro closure to keep the bait head rigs in
the pocket.
Planer Board Snubbers
Our
planer boards pull like mules. To keep them from jumping around in
the waves and to protect our mast systems from taking too much
abuse, we made shock absorbers for planer boards. Heavy UV resistant
tubing with 200# Spectra inside make these shockers durable and
effective. 250# swivels and clip will take years of abuse. These are
packed in two packs.
Bottom Bouncer Pouch
These pouches are made with four
pockets to hold the most popular sizes of bottom bouncers.
The pouch itself is 19" wide and 17" high. The four individual
pockets are 4 1/2" wide and 12" deep with a 5" flap for cover
with velcro to secure the flap.
The pouch folds up and has a strap to go all the way around and
velcro to secure it. It is made of the same durable material as
our sea anchors.
Brush Chaps
Rabbit
hunting in the weeds can be a lot of fun until the weeds turn into
thorns and briars. As a young man, I was the beagle for my father
and his hunting buddies. "Get those bunnies out of the thicket" was
the battle cry for them. "Give me a minute to pull the thorns out of
my legs" was my usual response. Brush pants seemed to be the answer,
but after a few washes, they started to disintegrate. We thought
that a set of chaps would work much better because you take them
off, hose them down, and hang them up to dry. These chaps have snaps
and a zipper to secure them around your legs and a loop for your
belt.
They come in four sizes, inseam
lengths of 26", 28", 30", 32".
Cargo Nets
In
most municipalities, anyone driving a truck or pulling a trailer
must have their load secured. It' s the law.
In the past, I have used upwards of
ten tie down straps and rope to hold down anything from construction
waste going to the dump to insulation bundles going to a job site.
It is very time consuming and sometimes hazardous. I had an entire
truckload of insulation blow out of the bed of my truck onto the
highway. I had the insulation all tied up, but not secured to the
truck very well. Luckily I didn' t cause an accident or tie up
traffic or get a ticket.
We started making these cargo nets
out of necessity.
They are a simple design. The tie
down straps have a hook on one end and slip into a cam buckle for
pulling tight.
These are not stretchy bungee cords,
but rather heavy nylon webbing sewn together to make a strong net.
There are three sizes, one for each
size of truck.
The large is for full size trucks with 8' beds. It measures 90" x60"
The medium is for full size trucks with 6' beds. It measures 70"
x60"
The small is for S-10 and Ranger sized trucks. It measures 70" x45"
The four tie down straps are all three feet long.
Custom cargo nets are available upon
request.

Clipper
planer board releases have solved a problem that has plagued board
fisherman for years. All too often, when running three lines off
each planer board, a fish will hit the number two line and pop the
release. The number two release then hangs down slowly sliding down
toward the board. A wave moves the board and the clip swings in a
circle and traps the number one line. The solution? Bring in the
planer board and untangle your mess. It shuts down your fishing for
at least five to ten minutes.
The Clipper Release is compact,
light, and different in design than any release on the market. With
its adjusting screw, you adjust it once and forget about it. I
prefer to use rubber bands with the release, but that is a personal
preference. I let my line out to the desired length, half hitch a
rubber band around the line, and snap the loop of the rubber band
into the Clipper Release. A quick grab of the tow line, slip the
release on the tow line, and you are ready to catch fish.
At the end of the day, it is a simple
task to remove the releases from the tow line and stow them away
until the next trip.
They are so compact, you can put a
dozen in your pocket to start the day instead of having to fumble
around trying to separate a tangled mess.
These are plastic with a stainless
steel screw, so there is no rusting.
These releases come in orange and
lime green for great visibility. They are packaged in six packs and
have a package of rubber bands attached.

Stores
up to 16 rigged crawler harnesses.
Clear plastic pouches with a clear
plastic cover.
Folds in half with a Velcro strap for
closure and storage.
Lures not included.
I have redone the crawler harness
pouch. Each pocket now has a velcro closure to keep the bait
harnesses inside the pocket.
$15.95 plus $4.90 shipping.


Our decoy bags are made of the same
durable material as our sea anchors. These are set up saddle bag
style with two pockets side by side. Each pocket is 26" wide,
18" deep, and 10" across. There are grommetted holes in the
bottom for water drainage. There is a strap with clasp on the
top of each side and a carrying strap on top. We made these in
gray, but for an up charge, they can be made in camo. Depending
upon the size of your decoys, they will hold six magnum goose
decoys or up to ten to twelve mallard decoys

Holds
8 large dipsey divers.
Dipsey divers not included.


6 compartments to hold dodgers or
small flashers.
Rolls up with a Velcro strap for easy
storage.
Dodgers not included.

Drift Bags
The Drift Bags are for drifting only.
They are not made for trolling


These
bags are for covering your electronics on the dash of your boat. This will help keep them clean and keep
the sun off them.
There are two types of bags. One
comes with a clear plastic front. This is for the center console
boats that are exposed to weather. In wet conditions, you can put
the cover on and still see your electronics. The other type is
completely made of boat cover material. This is for night coverage,
complete sun protection, or with open boats when trailering.
These bags have a strap and Velcro to
secure the cover.
We make six sizes, but can add others
to customize your electronic needs.
All dimensions are Length x Width x Depth.
Size A is 6" x10" x6"
Size B is 9" x11" 8"
Size C is 10" x12" x6"
Size D is 10" x10" x6"
Size E is 11" x11" x14"
Size F is 12" x12" x12"
E-Z Holdem
Fish Measurer
 |
For
the walleye and bass fisherman, I found a measuring device
that is plain and simple. When you catch a fish, remove it
from the hook and slide it head first into the E-Z Holdem.
The clear plastic cover will prevent the fish from falling
out. it will quickly tell you the length of the fish up to
24". The device is 15" long with a slide out rule to go up
to 24". On Lake Erie, we have a 15" minimum on our walleyes.
This all-plastic device will quickly tell you if your fish
is legal or not, and will wash out easily after you remove
the fish. if you measure the device closely, you will note
that it is actually 15 1/8" long. This will allow for some
shrinkage when you get back to the dock and get checked |


If you have
stream or river fished for steelhead, browns, or salmon in Northern
Ohio or Northern Pennsylvania you have probably heard of “Flash
Cure”.
Long a local
favorite among the steelheaders on the Grand, Rocky, and Vermilion
Rivers, the word is spreading about an egg cure that will greatly
improve your catch rate. There are many days when just about
anything will work. But there are too many days when the fish are
finicky; the water is too muddy, the moon phase isn’t just right, a
cold front is moving in, etc, etc, etc. On those tough days, it pays
to have that extra edge.
As the maker of
this cure told me “fish don’t smell scent, they smell chemicals”. It
makes sense to me I have used many commercial scents for walleye
trout and salmon without a substantial difference in my catch with
lures without scent. Flash Cure makes a difference, a big
difference.
Wash the single
eggs or skein in water to remove any blood and place them in a
ziplock bag and shake it. Put a small handful of Flash Cure into the
bag and shake it. When all the eggs and/or skein are covered with
the cure, they’re done. Simple. Tie them into bags, or use
individually. Refrigerate the rest until you need them.
I don’t know
what Flash Cure is made of and don’t want to now, but the maker has
told me to tell you “don’t eat it”. It has bite stimulants, amino
acids, as well as egg preservatives. As I was typing this, I was
talking to the maker He found some cured brown trout eggs in his
fridge left over from last year. He said that they shrunk a
little, but as soon as he put some water in the bag they plumped
right up and looked like they just came out of the fish. They
smelled fresh and ready to go.
We have Flash
Cure in quantities from ten ounces to ten pounds.


6 compartments to hold large
flashers.
Rolls up with a Velcro strap for easy
storage.
Flashers not included.


Many
times I have watched a salmon fisherman finish fishing for the day,
put his rods in the racks, fire up his boat, and speed off to the
dock. While he is roaring down the lake, his flashers are spinning a
million mile an hour still hooked up to his rods in the rack. With
our flasher wraps, two seconds after securing the rod in the rack, a
wrap can be put around the flasher to keep it safely secured so the
line doesn't spin and the flasher doesn't beat up the rod. These are
14" x 10" open and packed in two packs.


We
have a few bags for our ice fishing trips. I got tired of having all
my gear sliding around the sled getting tangled.
One bag is 14” x5” x 5” with a velcroed flap and
handle. I use it for my folding tip ups.
The next bag is 24” x 6” x 6” with a velcroed flap
and handle. I have my Mopod underwater camera spinning thing in this
bag.
We also have a bag for carrying our thermal tip ups.
12” in diameter and 16” high with a zipper around the top, and a
handle This bag will hold six HT thermal tip ups if you pack them
right.
We also had our Amish girls make a carrier for my
Vexilar flasher unit. It looks like an old fashioned cake carrying
box or hat box. It has a zipper one inch up from the bottom around
the circumference so you can take the unit out or just open it a
little to get the transducer out. It has a clear window in front so
the unit can be used with the cover on. It also has a handle on top.
Goose Robes

Another request was for white goose
hunting robes with hoods and pockets. These are made oversized
for hunters with heavy coats or parkas. They open at the bottom
(no legs) and have velcro down the front down to within four
inches of the bottom to make it easy to get on and off. The hood
and sleeves are also oversized for adequate coverage and easy
getting on and off. Machine washable 65% poly and 35% cotton.

We looked for a simple solution for a
pile of inline planer boards in the back of the boat. Our friendly
Amish man came up with a simple pouch system to store the boards.
They come in two, three, and four pouch bags with a flap and Velcro
closure. There is a slot cut into the middle of the pouch and the
cover so that a starboard or port board can be stored in the bag.
There is a carrying handle on the top, so bag your boards, close the
pouch, and take them off the boat. The next trip, the boards are
ready and waiting for use. Depending upon the feedback, we may be
putting Velcro on the back of the pouch to hang inside the boat.
Will hold Offshore and Church's Boards. Store your boards safely and
easily. Pouches hold 2, 3 or 4 boards.

A gentleman sent me a well worn J Plug holder this
fall that he has had for many years. It had outlived its usefulness,
and he was looking for a replacement. I took the holder to my Amish
girls and asked them to make a new one exactly like the .old one.
When I got it back, it looked great, and I forwarded it on to the
original owner.
He was happy and told me that the cost of the new one
was less than he paid for the original twelve or so years ago.
The girls made up some more of these pouches, so we
are going to carry them with our other fishing products.
These pouches will hold 30 J Plugs in individual
clear loops on a foam faced pad. There is a clear plastic cover on
the front.


Holds 12 jet divers
Holds sizes, 10', 20', 30', and 40'
Jets not included.
Hook-Um
Storage Pads and Bags
The small pad is
8.5" x 11"
The medium pad is 12" x 16"
The large pad is 16" x 24"
|



|
I
have been asked if we made lure holders, and my response has
always been no. We now carry a tackle storage system
superior to any on the market.
These pads are made of a
closed cell neoprene to hold hooks securely. The clear
plastic cover is made of a UV resistant material so your
lures won't fade out in the sun.
The pads come with Velcro on
the back to hang them on your bulkhead, cabin or dash, and
still have the ability to take them off and store them away
at the end of the day.
The plastic cover is heavy
enough that accidental leaning against the pad will not
result in a treble hook impalement or worse.
Your lures won't get banged
around or chipped up as when you toss them into ordinary
tackle boxes.
We field tested these pads
and found them to stand heads above all other storages
systems.
Fly
and Harness Clips
In searching for better ways
to store lures, I found some clips that will hold harnesses,
flies and squids onto the Lure Pads.
Simply place the hook into
the Pad and coil up the leader. Holding the leader down,
slide the pointes of the clip on either side of the line and
into the Pad. Almost lay the clip flat when sliding into the
Pad so it doesn't go through to the other side. Place
another clip on the opposite side of the first and repeat.
I loaded up a Pad with flies
and flung it across the room. Everything stayed in place.
Sweet!! |
The small pad is
8.5" x 11"
The medium pad is 12" x 16"
The large pad is 16" x 24"

Benefits
- Hook-Um prevents tangled hooks in
trays or compartments. Just place the hooks in the
rubber to store or pulled them out
- Conventional tackle boxes don't allow
wet lures to dry. Ours allow the lures to dry out evenly
when stored.
- Tired of straightening your lures
after your tackle box is dropped or turned over? With
Hook-Um you can say goodbye to this tiresome chore
keeping you from fishing!
- Forget about getting hooked trying to
pick your favorite lure. Just remove the lure's hook
from the rubber pad and you're fishing!
- Not enough compartments in your
tackle box? Dependent on lure size, each Hook-Um Pad
will hold multiple lures.

If
you have ever put rods away with the lures still attached, you know
about the tangled mess you will find the next time they must come
out of the cabin. These lure wraps are made of boat cover material
with velcro and take all of two seconds to wrap around a lure and
rod. No exposed hooks mean less stabs in the hand and less tangles.
These are made in two sizes, 9" x 6", and 6" x 4" open. These are in
two packs.


In
chartering, you try to have all your equipment working perfectly to
help make your client' s day an enjoyable one. One of our main
"tools" is our planer boards. For walleye fishing, board fishing is
half our arsenal along with dipsey divers.
If the boards don' t pull right, it'
s hard to get the proper spread behind the boat. The boards must
pull hard as well as ride up fairly even with the boat. If they don'
t pull hard, the tow line will drag in the water, you can' t get the
releases to slide down easily, and it is difficult to make tight
turns. With a soft pulling board, you commit the mortal sin when
turning; having both boards on the same side of the boat. If the
boards lag back behind the boat, you can' t get a good wide spread
of lures. You end up covering a 100' swath instead of a 300' swath.
The whole purpose of fishing boards is to cover a wide area of
water.
After trying all the plastic boards,
doubles as well as triples, I found that they were all lacking in
pulling power. Wooden boards seemed to be the answer, but what type
of wood? After a lot of experimentation, redwood worked the best.
With our boards, we found that they
are the most effective if you don' t paint, varnish, or polyurethane
them. It sounds wrong, but the more water these boards soak up, the
harder they pull. By the end of the day I call them my stealth
boards because they ride so low in the water. They will eventually
get really ugly, weathering out and cracking, but keep running them.
I have actually had to retire a set I have used for six years
because they pull too hard.
I recommend that you use 500# test
planer board line.
These boards collapse for easy
storage, but be careful not to step on them, they will break.
Hard, and harder pulling boards
You wanted harder pulling boards, now you have got them.
The redwood boards pull hard, now try
the new plastic boards.
While I was picking up a shipment of
redwood, I had the owner of the mill suggest that I try some
plastic. I asked if it floated. We cut off a piece and threw it in
the sink and it floated, barely. He gave me some of the boards to
try. I cut them up and made a set and gave them to a buddy to run
the next day.
The boards run with about 1" of board
above the water and will pull a smaller boat to one side with only
one out. Putting both boards out will definitely slow a boat down.
The boat must be in neutral to retrieve the boards. 200# test planer
board line won't hold them in a chop. They didn't dive or jump. They
just pulled, even on turns. I am putting a pinwheel in with them so
they can be seen. Just stick it in the hole on the back of the
outside board

We now carry 500# test pure Spectra planer board tow
line. The lime green and orange Dacron lines were pretty, but they
deteriorated and faded after one year of use. They also soaked up
too much water and dragged along the surface.
Six years ago I switched to the 500# Spectra and it’s still going
strong. Twice a year I cut about two feet off the end by the board
as it will fuzz up from removing all the releases at the end of the
day.
I don’t know how long the line will last because the
line on the boat now is the original line I put on three years ago.
There is no sign of deterioration. In fact, this year I had a boat
troll between my boat and my board and tangle the line in his prop.
He put his boat in neutral, but I had to keep mine in gear as
I had three king salmon on at once. I tied my planer board line off
my stern cleat and towed him backwards over 200’ until I netted all
three fish. He untangled the line from his prop (it never broke) and
sent my board on it’s way. He met me at the dock, apologized, and
bought two spools of this line.
The line comes on spools of 200’, 300’, or any length
to fit your needs. Normal use on Lake Erie is 200’. Some charters
prefer the 300’, but I don’t like to run my boards out that far. Too
much traffic, and I like to make fairly tight turns.

When
we are running out to the fishing hole or running back to the dock,
the last thing we need is our dipsey divers and jet divers flying
around getting tangled up in the roof rack. We made rod wraps for
securing dipseys, jet divers, flashers, and lures to the rod to
prevent tangles and rod damage caused by unsecured fishing
equipment. The 6" size will most likely work for all fresh water
rods, and the 9" will handle most everything else. It only takes a
second to secure your rods for running. These are sold in two packs
and six packs.

Seat Belt Cover Wrap
|
The Seat Belt Cover is a 16" long fuzzy
wrap that velcros around
your seat belt to keep it from chafing and irritating your
neck.
A popular thing for short
people. |

I
got tired of replacing my snubbers behind my dipseys twice a year
because they rotted out. So I made my own shock absorbers. I found a
material that is stretchy and doesn't get affected by UV rays
sitting in my rod racks. The cord inside is made of 130# "Fins"
Spectra line and the swivels test out at more than 60#. We tested
them for two years and didn't have a single failure, so we now offer
them to you. They come in 9" and 12" sizes. They are packaged in two
packs and six packs for the serious fisherman. We use them for
walleyes on Lake Erie and for trout and salmon on Lake Ontario.

Sinker Pouches
Heavy duty pouches for sinkers and snap weights.
No more broken plastic boxes.
We have six and nine pocket pouches.
Each pocket is 4" x 4" and pleated for easy access.
A sturdy carrying strap can be hung over a rod holder or knob.


I got
enough requests for spoon pouches and stickbait pouches that I
contacted my Amish buddy about making some for the upcoming year.
These are pretty
much interchangeable with each other as you can put spoons or sticks
in either pouch or even both in the same pouch.
The spoon pouch
comes in two sizes.

Swim Noodle Wraps
These noodle wraps can be used for
worm harnesses, fly rigs, or leader keepers.
Stick the hook into the noodle, wrap the leader around the noodle
and place the supplied horseshoe pin through the loop in the leader
and into the noodle.
Cover the noodle with the wrap.

These
bags were made for carrying clear plastic tackle boxes, Plano,
Woodstream, Flambeau, etc. They are made of the same material used
for making boat covers. They can easily carry ice, reels, and just
about anything you can fit into them.
I put five boxes into each bag. I use
my label maker to mark each box so when I need a certain variety of
lure, there is no digging through a mound of boxes. I simply pick
the bag with the Stingers, Reef Runners, etc. and away I go.
The small size is for the Plano 3600
series of boxes. The bag' s dimension are 10" x8" x11" .
The large bag is for the Plano 3700 series of boxes. The bag' s
dimension are 10" x9" x14" .

These
bags are for carrying almost anything, but were designed to carry
fish. There are two sizes of bags depending on the size of the fish
and the quantity of fish. Instead of dragging bulky coolers in and
out of your boat, just load your catch into these bags and carry
them out of the boat.
The large bag has handles made out of
a nylon webbing that go completely under the bag. This bag measures
23" by 23" .
The extra large bag measures 35" by
22" . It has the strong webbing and also has a shoulder strap for
easier carrying. This bag is mainly used for longer fish like
salmon.
I put 100 lbs into each bag, picked
them up and carried them around. I don' t know how much more they
will hold. I don' t think you can put enough fish, ice or anything
short of lead weights into these bags to break them.

Whompers
The Whompers
are our pet name for the 60" Beefy Bags.
When they
open up, they go "Whomp"!!!!!
Plug Guard
When I bought my little boat, it had a neat box on
the side of the trailer to store the electrical plug when not hooked
up to the truck. After doing a little research, I found out that it
was called a Plug Guard.
Made in the U.S.A., this container kept my boat
plug from laying on the ground and collecting dirt. It comes with a
stainless steel spring and two self tapping screws.
I am carrying two types of Plug Guards. The flat 4
or 5 pin Guard and the large round 7 pin Guard.
Jet Trippers
Being a full time walleye fisherman on Lake Erie,
I learned two things. One, if you want to catch bunches of walleyes,
you have to put out bunches of baits. And, two, You better learn to
run dipseys and jet divers to get those bunches of baits out.
Dipseys are a dream. Fish hit, dipsey trips,
reel in fish. No drag. You and fish. Easy.
Jet divers. Fish hit, trip board release, fish
drags, jet drags also. Two pound fish feels like ten pounder.
Fish gets off, you reel in jet, still feels like ten pounder.
Why not have a het that releases like a dipsey?
Good question. Good answer. We have one!!
You supply the jet diver, we supply the pieces
parts to make your jet release and plane up to the surface. No drag.
Easy.
Jet Trippers are a modified Clipper Release and a
coated cable to change any size jet into a diver that is easy to
retrieve.
Jet Divers are not included in the kit.
