How to catch Big Bass!
Perciformes, also called the Percomorphi or Acanthopteri, are the largest order of vertebrates, containing about 41% of all bony fish. Perciformes means "perch-like". They belong to the class of ray-finned fish, and comprise over 10,000 species found in almost all aquatic ecosystems.The order contains about 160 families, which is the most of any order within the vertebrates.[1] It is also the most variably sized order of vertebrates, ranging from the 7-mm (1/4-in) Schindleria brevipinguis to the marlin in the Makaira genus. They first appeared and diversified in the Late Cretaceous.Among the well-known members of this group are cichlids, California sheephead, bluegill, damselfish, bass, and perch.
Characteristics
The dorsal and anal fins are divided into anterior spiny and posterior soft-rayed portions, which may be partially or completely separated. The pelvic fins usually have one spine and up to five soft rays, positioned unusually far forward under the chin or under the belly. Scales are usually ctenoid, although sometimes they are cycloid or otherwise modified.
Taxonomy
Classification is controversial. As traditionally[vague] defined, the Perciformes are almost certainly paraphyletic. Other orders that should possibly be included as suborders are the Scorpaeniformes, Tetraodontiformes, and Pleuronectiformes. Of the presently recognized suborders, several may be paraphyletic, as well. These are grouped by suborder/superfamily, generally following the text Fishes of the World.

Shimano Stradic CI4+ Spinning Reels
Shimano Stradic CI4+ Spinning Reels feature a redesigned CI4+ frame and rotor, a Rapid Fire drag for quick, easy adjustments, and Aero Wrap II Oscillation. CI4 stands for Carbon Interfusion with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the carbon atom. This carbon fiber reinforced graphite material is over one and a half times stronger than Shimano's normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20 percent lighter. And because the frame, sideplate and rotor does not contain metal, these components are impervious to rust and corrosion. As a result of the materials strength and weight, Shimano has created an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances.
Shimano Chronarch Reel - Right-Handed
Weighing in at only 6.5oz, the Shimano Chronarch 150 CI4 Casting Reel takes reel performance to a whole new level. Lighter and more advanced than ever before, its CI4+ construction allowed Shimano to greatly reduce its overall weight, while still maintaining incredible rigidity and strength.

THE ORIGINAL "SHAKY HEAD" LURES
Shimano STELLA FI
We aimed to make the most efficient Drivetrain in a spinning reel. We achieved our goal by using our new X-Ship feature. The result of using X-Ship makes the handle easier to turn with or without load.
This makes the most important thing in fishing easier to feel the bite. Because less effort goes into turning the handle you can detect even the lightest "tick" bites.

Our entire organization is run by avid outdoorsmen who are passionate about making your fishing experiences count.
Eagle Claw Hooks
Eagle Claw and Lazer Sharp have a unique and comprehensive line-up to round out your tackle box. In the late 1920’s Drew McGill and Stan Wright formed the Wright & McGill Co., for the tying of high grade fishing flies. Drew was on the upper Colorado River pursuing his favorite sport, fly fishing that magnificent stream.It all happened when he stopped to light his pipe and take a short rest.The morning’s fishing had not been as good as it could have been, for it seemed that even though the rainbows and native Trout were rising, they were difficult to hook. While thinking of this and the ways that he could improve his fishing techniques, he watched the lazy circles of two large eagles. As he sat quietly enjoying this wilderness scene, one of the eagles slowly spiraled downward and landed beyond him in the top of a dead cottonwood; the tips of the bird’s talons lightly gripping a weathered bare limb. His thoughts turned to the penetrating power of those lethal claws, and then to the penetrating power of the fishhooks he was using.

Mustad's Super Death Hook
“How a Norwegian invention came to change the world”.
One day in the late 19th century, a travelling Norwegian salesman, came wandering through the Amazon rainforest in the hills between Brazil and Venezuela. It was there that he met with the Yanomami tribe and introduced them to the products of his suitcase: fish hooks. Even to this day the Yanomami word for fishhook is simply “a Mustad”.It all started in 1832, when a steel mill was built in Gjövik, Norway. In 1877, at a time when each and every hook was handmade, Mustad invented the world’s first fishhook machine. Fed with steel wire at one end, out came hooks at the other end. It was nothing less than a revolution, and it would change the lives of fishermen everywhere.

Striped Bass (Homestyle)

The striped bass (Morone saxatilis), also called Atlantic striped bass, striper, linesider, pimpfish, rock, or rockfish, is an anadromous Perciforme fish of the Moronidaefamily found primarily along the Atlantic coast of North America. It has also been widely introduced into inland recreational fisheries across the United States. The striped bass is the state fish of Maryland, Rhode Island, and South Carolina, and the state saltwater (marine) fish of New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and New Hampshire.
They are also found in the Minas Basin, Gaspereau River, and Northumberland Strait in Nova Scotia, Canada, and the Miramichi River and Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada.The history of the striped bass fishery in North America dates back to the Colonial period. Many written accounts by some of the first European settlers describe the immense abundance of striped bass along with alewives traveling and spawning up most rivers in the coastal Northeast.

Mepps Fishing Lures
When French engineer Andre Meulnart invented the Mepps spinner in 1938, it wasn't long before he realized it was an extremely effective fishing lure. He didn't realize, however, he had invented a lure that would revolutionize the fishing tackle industry. It would take a World War and an unusual series of events to do that. It would also take the vision of a man who could see the lure's full potential.
Todd Sheldon discovered the Mepps spinner in 1951. Owner of a successful tackle store in downtown Antigo, Wisconsin, he was having a bad day on Wisconsin's Wolf River. Determined to try something different, he tied on a small Mepps spinner that had been given to him by Frank Velek, a WWII GI who had returned from Europe two years earlier. Within two hours, he had creeled four trout weighing more than twelve pounds total.
