Appanage Fishing Scent Striker appanagefishing.com Scent Striker added three new color choices for the 2021 season: black, green, and red. Scent Striker threads onto your line or leaders, in combination with any lure, and allows you to add scent to any bait offering. Scent Striker’s colorful fibers hold an ample amount of your favorite oil, gel, or sauce and concentrate that “dinner-bell smell” where you need it most—at your hook. Scent Striker is Alaska tough and lasts bite after bite. The only thing you need to do is periodically add more oil, gel, or sauce to keep your bait offering “fresh.” Scent Striker comes in three models: Original, Fob, and Singles. In 2021 we tested Scent Striker’s new Scent Sauce and found it very effective in drawing more fish to our lures. |

Pro-Cure now makes a Garlic Butt Juice option that you should add to your arsenal. |

BnR Tackle Slammin Salmon Pro Pack bnrtackle.com BnR Tackle is excited to announce the newest addition to their Pro Pack family. This Slammin Salmon Pro Pack features 16 mm, 20 mm and the brand new 25 mm gonzo-sized beads in four of their hottest Chinook and coho colors. Each box comes with nearly 70 beads and the extra-large T-Stops to match. This box can be a key tool to your arsenal for targeting Chinook and coho in tributary and tidewater sections of your favorite rivers. We recommend pairing the beads with two feet of 12- to 20-pound-test monofilament leader, a 1/0 to 2/0 hook, bead pegged two inches from the hook, and an inline or sliding weight matched to a ½- to 1-ounce sliding float. The beads can be fished either bobber doggin’ style or as a suspended presentation similar to bait. Beads for salmon are the real deal!Kodiak Custom Bottom Fish Jig kodiakcustom.com For many years we have used this lure to catch all manner of bottomfish. On a recent trip to Larsen Bay, Kodiak, we landed 10 species of bottomfish on this jig. We filmed the jig underwater and it looks amazingly lifelike on the drop; it’s no wonder that so many fish species eat the lure. It comes in many fish-catching colors, and multiple sizes. We use the 10- and 14-ounce versions most often.
