Flicker Shad Pro Slick baits improves with foil design
The Berkley Flicker Shad Pro Slick recently added
more colors to its already wide-spectrum of baits. The nine new colors use a foil design that increases the flicker. Trolling with 10-pound Trilene XT, anglers can
expect for the Flicker Shad Pro Slick to run about 2 to 14 feet up to 150 feet back. Using 10-pound Fireline, fishermen will see greater depth of 2 to 15 feet out to 150 feet back. The Mustad Ultra-Point tre- ble hooks ensure nothing gets away. Baits are $4.95 each;

areas surrounded by heavy cover. Getting them toward your boat requires strength and durability. The new Stren Braid provides the extra muscle to accomplish just that. Made with Dyneema PE fibers and a Glide
Coat treatment, the sturdy line provides the extra tug and performance needed to pull in the big-sized prize. The Glide Coat treatment gives Stren Braid smoother casts and faster line movement through rod guides while minimizing wear and tears on the line. Stren Braid also delivers extensive knot strength, and the line’s round profile prevents it from digging into the spool. The Stren Braid is available in 10- to 65-pound test and comes in Lo- Vis Green. The line is $15.99;

PRO4x ShortStix heavy on distance, light on weight
The new short-length, fast-action
G.Loomis PRO4x ShortStix is designed to allow anglers to make 80-foot-plus with less effort than traditional 9-foot rods. The 7 foot, 6 inch rod, which took home Best of Show for fly fishing rods at this year’s ICAST, loads easi- ly and offers improved casting distance with big, bulky, air-resistant flies. The rod is lighter and stronger in hand and was developed to showcase the advan- tages of a short fly rod. The rod can be used in saltwater, especially for reeling in stripers and big fish like tarpon, cobia and redfish, and also in freshwater. The Pro4x ShortStix features K-frame strip- per guides to reduce tangles when shooting the line. The rod is $400;
