BoJoLe Flutter Spoon
In terms of numbers of fish caught, the next best thing to live bait is an artificial lure that looks, acts, and feels like live shiners. Nothing else comes as close as the BoJoLe Flutter Spoon. Available in a range of sizes from 2/0 to 5/0 and in a variety of colors, this lure is unequalled.
One thing that I learned over many seasons is that not all lures are created equal; some lures far out-perform the rest. I’ll tell you what, the hottest bait I have ever put on my line, as far as fishing below dams is concerned, is the BoJoLe Flutter Spoon. Smallmouth... hybrid... stripers... it is a killer! The best I’ve ever seen
Secret Weapon Lures
Secret Weapon engineers tackle systems for innovative anglers. They broke the mold with their Quickstrike and Sidearm spinnerbaits, reinventing and improving on a lure that had been virtually unchannged for fifty years. By eliminating split rings and swivels on their safety-pin spinnerbaits, and replacing them with detachable, in-line blades, Secret Weapon created a new class of lure that surpasses conventional, first-generation spinnerbaits in 12 ways.
Now Secret Weapon has introduced the Recoil Rig — a simple way to make your soft plastics come alive! If you fish soft plastic lures for bass, walleye, flounder, redfish, trout, crappie... in fact, any gamefish that eats live bait, then you owe it to yourself to try this Rig.
Sportsman’s Warehouse
Sportsman’s Warehouse is American’s premier Outfitter.
As you walk into a Sportsman’s Warehouse and past the fishing reports you will be amazed at how large the store is. Plan on taking some time to look around when you visit, Stop by the “Bragging Board” where customers leave pics of their big fish and sucessful hunts. Inside you will find hunting supplies from clothing, boots and wet weather gear to tree stands. Peruse their large selection of black powder hunting rifles and shotgun shells, and check out an even larger selection of hunting rifles and hunting and plinking ammo, plus a wide range of sporting rifles and defensive guns, too.
Looking for optics? Sportsmans Warehouse has a wide selection for you and the mounts and rings to go with them. Into reloading your own ammunition for hunting or fine tuning for a target rifle? Take a look at the display of reloaders at Sportsmans Warehouse as well as scales, tumblers and more.

Fishermen will be pleased with all the gear from rods, reels and tackle all the way to boats and trailers.

Food stuffs and cooking gear, kayaks and paddling gear, outdoor apparel and footgear, backpacks, sleeping bags, and all the stuff you need for hiking, climbing, and bush-busting.

Reelfoot Lake in northwest Tennesse has much to offer the outdoor enthusiast.

January and February is the prime time at Reelfoot Lake to view nature’s majestic monarch of the air, the American Bald Eagle.
