Abu Garcia Fishing: Best Fishing Gear of 2009

Best Fishing Gear of 2009
By Chad Arrowsmith

As technology improves, it is becoming easier to catch the best fish and at a huge quantity. Fishing is becoming safer, more exciting, and even more productive as the years go by. Even if fishing sounds like an old fashioned hobby, it is being improved upon everyday. Now, you could probably still fish using a can of worms and simple pole, but you should really take a look at all the fishing gear which is hitting the market for 2009. With all of this great gear to choose from, you just might want to buy yourself an early birthday present.

Now, a fisherman first has to know where the fish are if he is going to be successful. Thankfully, there is a significant amount of devices on the market that you can use in order to find them. Take Eagle's new Fisheasy compact fish locater which operates using sonar. It features a 4 inch screen and will work both in shallow and deep water, up to about 1000 feet. It can cover 120 degrees at a time from any location. It even features a back up screen and a large amount of memory. To sweeten the deal even further, this device features a built in temperature sensor.

No matter what fancy accessories you my purchase, you can't catch fish without a rod and reel. Simple rods may work fine, but if you have the money and you are serious about your sport, then why not take a look at the top of the line rods that have hit the market in 2008. Maybe the best rod on the market today is the Berkley Tactix. This rod is constructed with graphite and chromium parts which make for a very strong and lightweight rod. Another rod that is worse picking up is the Cabela XML Ti. Like the Berkley Tactix, this rod is also strong and lightweight. Of course this rod features a special shape memory that allows it to return to its original shape, even if you run it over!

One reel that is sure to catch your eye is the Abu Garcia Cardinal 800. This high quality spinning reel is claimed to be the strongest rod on the market today that features an open face. It is made of the best aluminum alloy parts so it is defiantly built to last a long time. One thing you don't want is to purchase a reel that only lasts a few months, after all. This reel is specially designed so that it features a smooth drag and a strong retrieve. There is also the Johnny Morris Elite reel, produced by Bass Pro Shop. This is another great reel; it is a bait caster that features a titanium finish and is made of lightweight materials. Even though it is lightweight, this baby can handle a 20 pound fish without any problems.

This is just a sample of all the great new gear available for 2009; so be sure to check out your local sporting goods store to make sure you're ready for fishing season.

Also, fish will go crazy over Cotton Cordell Wally Diver, a lure that comes in various hues and has the variable movements of an injured baitfish. Rapala's KickTail Minnow, a lifelike lure made of balsa wood is another valuable lure worth trying.

Rod and Reel

While it is possible to catch fish using a net, or a spear or even bare hands, the fishing rod still proves to be the most vital and basic angler device. It is easier and faster to catch fish with a rod. Among the high-end and finest rods to hit the market include Cabela XML Ti and Berkeley Tactix. The Cabela XML Ti is a sturdy, lightweight aluminum rod whose special shape memory mechanism lets the rod to return to its original shape even if it gets crushed or ran over.

Dan's set ups consists of 8 foot fiber glass composite rods, Abu Garcia level wined reels spooled with Power Pro braided line. He uses Power Pro 10-40 for most of his fishing but has several reels spooled with 12-50 Power Pro for targeting bigger fish. The fiber glass rod will take the abuse of the hard fighting fish and the Power Pro line Dan feels is required. Dan said "with the fact these fish like to hold close to the structure they like to turn into it as soon as you set the hook". With this extremely tough line, Dan can put the pressure on the fish as soon as he sets the hook. "You need to turn their head away from the troubled areas right away. When they do get wrapped up, the no stretch characteristics of Power Pro sticks the pressure directly to the fish to pull them out

t's very important that you have a top of the line reel as well. Reels have more chances to break as they feature many complicated parts. You need a lreel that features a strong body that is still lightweight that features a smooth drag and a strong retrieve. You need a reel that is easy to turn so that you don't have to have to strain yourself when the moment of opportunity arises. The following are all excellent choices: the Abu Garcia Cardinal 800 spinning reel, Bass Pro Shop's Johnny Morris Elite, and the Mitchell 300x series. These are all excellent models and you will find that they are very strong and easy to use.

The Abu Garcia 7000

The Abu Garcia 7000

There are most likely other lures you could purchase, such as the Magnum Boo Tail or the Shumway Giant Flasher, but to avoid any confusion if you're new to this, just pick up the Double Cowgirl and you'll be satisfied if you follow these tactics and tips.

So now we have our lure, but we're definitely going to want some rod and lreel power. If you don't own a heavy-action rod, now's the time to invest in one if you plan on actually landing a muskie. Go with a long rod - 8- to 8 ½ feet - heavy-power, combine this with a reel with a low speed level-wind built for power.

The Abu Garcia 7000 is great for this type of fishing; a very powerful bait casting reel with a great rate of retrieve that will definitely last you quite a few years. 80-pound test Spiderwire Stealth is a great choice of line; steel leader is optional, but not recommended.

Abu-Garcia Revo S series

Abu-Garcia Revo S series

Abu-Garcia Revo S series has 8 ball bearings with 1 roller bearing solid case with a carbon matrix drag system, 3 words for this one, bad to the bone for around 100.00, I have had mine for a few years and all I have had to do is clean & change the line. I also have enjoyed my spinning crappie rods & reels, a couple of my favorites that will cast a small jig a country mile is my Shimano Symetre with a rear fighting drag and virtually no line twist, you can adjust fighting drag as you go without breaking your line for any size crappie you bring up, then add a falcon low-rider rod to it and you can feel the slightest bump. This is a winning setup for the crappie angler for around 200.00 dollars and it will last forever.

Abu Garcia - Ambassader Blue Max Reel Review

Abu Garcia - Ambassader Blue Max Reel Review

This is a new reel by Abu Garcia from there Baitcasting range. Abu Garcia have produced a competitively priced low profile reel for anyone who wishes to have a go with a top quality baitcaster at a fraction of the cost of other leading models and brands. I tested out the right handed Abu Garcia model and could not belive the standard of this reel for the money. It was very smooth casting, light, robust, and had all the characteristics of what you would expect from Abu Garcia reels. The Abu Garcia model comes with 2+1 ball bearing and weighs approx 225grams, holds around 175m of 0.30mm line and finished with a electric blue outer spray job and a gold spool finish on the inside. This Abu Garcia reel is ideal for a new baitcasting angler or anglers that fish from Kayak's due to its ease of one handed smooth casting ability.

The Abu Garcia Blue Max has build in Levelwind, Rubber grip handles,hard outer body and has a machined built 5 star Drag System which is a nice added finish to the reel. A good fact about this Abu Garcia reel is if it gets damaged or lost it is only a small price to replace espically when some of us fish on a tight budget.

If you where looking to upgrade from this model there is a Abu Garcia Black Max which has 5 ball bearings and Duragear brass gears, also there is a Abu Garcia Silver Max which comes with 6 ball bearings and a power full Magtrax brake system at the top end of this range.
