Check out Okuma tackle for their wide array of tackle. They've made some great changes in their products to fit the needs of today's fishermen. Their Cedros line of rods is one of my favorites as a fisherman and as a captain.
Dave Stingo's solid company of fishing lures. His PBJ Jig is the best cod jig that I have ever used. Stingo OXG (Star) jigs are deadly when vertical jigging bluefin tuna. In 2011, they're coming out with a full line of plugs as well as jigs.
Well, I have used their PowerSwivels for years. I TRUST THEM. Enough said. They also have a full compliment of lures. If you fish for stripers with light tackle, check them out.
What hooks do you trust? Gammy. That's what the pros think. Give them a shot. Nice assist hooks for your vertical jigging. Incredible...HD Tuned Assist hook.
Braid. Braid. And Superbraid. Tuf-Line XP, Tuf-Line Duracast (spinning), Tuf-Line Indicator (marked jigging line). And Tuf-Line Guide's Choice (hollow-core spliceable). After fishing with the 60 pound hollow core for a full year, I felt invincible! That says a lot.
Navionics builds the software charting packages that we all depend upon to make our chartplotters work. I have used Navionics Gold and was very happy. Now I have the Platinum...oh boy and I couldn't be happier with the contour lines, wreck info, and other data to keep me on the fish.
