Looking to update your tackle arsenal? Here’s some great new lures for 2026

Gear & Gadgets, Home Page News, National Fishing /

Lure companies try every year to create a new profile that fish haven’t seen.
For 2026, some new plastics for bass look like a COVID molecule with several creepy “legs.” Other companies are polishing up their swim baits that look ultra lifelike or jig heads that are able to be “seen” better by forward-facing sonar. In any case, anglers now have access to amazing baits to catch more, and bigger, fish.

Glenn Sapir: Traditions are a foundation of outdoor pursuits

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, National Fishing, National Hunting, New York /

Every outdoorsperson thirsts for that once-in-a-lifetime hunting or fishing trip. It could be a fly-fishing adventure on a famed Western river, a peacock bass pursuit in the Amazon or, perhaps, an elk hunt in the Rockies.
They are all worthy of a dream, but what has fueled my dreams are not first-time adventures that I long for, but, instead, activities that I’ve done before and I look forward to doing again, year after year.
