Those of you who are frequent visitors to www.monsterfishgear.com are already familiar with the live streaming broadcast of the underwater world.  Getting a camera to run throughout the winter was a challenge to say the least, but also a huge success.  We have gotten reports from people who have seen everything from walleyes ambushing a school of minnows, to perch doing a sit and spin on the bottom of the lake.  They do this to stir up the mud and catch blood worms and other little wigglers that live in the muck.  What many people don't realize, however, is that the luscious green weeds that all the action is centered on are actually fake.  Yep, I'm serious.  They are called Reel Weeds from LaDredge Outdoors and have become a highly successful tool to ice fishermen in products such as Structure on a String which allows fisherman to put transportable structure down wherever they want, and Camera Cable Structure which camouflages every underwater camera on the market by turning it into a weed - something familiar to fish.  But do Reel Weeds have any open water applications?  Absolutely.  People all across the South have been using Reel Weeds to add habitat to their private fishing ponds.  Those that have water gardens or koi ponds have been using Reel Weeds to provide shade and reproduction structure.  A product called Clip On Structure allows Reel Weeds to be clipped onto vertually anything including dock posts, diving platforms, or minnow traps.  LaDredge Outdoors also does custom orders for people who need specific amounts or special lengths.  If you have a chance to go to the Mall of America, you will even see Reel Weeds at the aquarium there called Underwater Adventures or at the Cabelas store in Elk River, MN.  Contact the good people at LaDredge Outdoors at www.reelweeds.com if you have any questions.  They are always happy to visit with you.

Spring is definitely here now, and that means you've probably started cleaning out tackle boxes and started dreaming about the summer to come... and musky fishing.  Monster Outdoors is proud to carry the lures of Jim Korducki of Ducktail Lures.  Jim is an ingenious tackle manufacturer who focuses soley on muskies.  His products are tested and refined for over 2 years before he ever even considers putting them on the market.  Many of Jim's lures such as the Warrior Jerkbait, the Tandem Spinner, and Jungle Warrior are weedless to get through weedbeds where the big boys hang out.  Some of his more famous topwater baits such as the Sputter Duck, the Surface Storm, and the Thunder Duck.  You've absolutely got to check these out.  They are unique, handmade, and built by a guy who has been making lures since he was 9 years old.  To see these and many other musky lures go to www.monsteroutdoors.com and take a look.
