The Windigo, from Majik This review is for the Windigo spoon, by Majik. This came to me in a box from Simple Fishing, a Canadian focused fishing tackle subscription box. I had received a spoon or two from Majik in previous RLM Elite boxes, and was always impressed by the quality. Spoons in general are a classic Canadian fishing lure, and…

The Runt, from Catch Co This review is for the Runt, by Catch Co. This comes from the Karl’s Bait and Tackle shop found on the Mystery Tackle Box website.

Gozilla 4″, by Bam Baits Today, I reviewed the Gozilla 4″ plastic lures from Bam Baits. Bam Baits is a Canadian company and the slogan on their packaging is “True North Tough!” Tough is certainly an accurate description of the Gozilla, as these things are beefy!

Dynamic Lures J-Spec Dynamic Lures‘ J-Spec multi-species jerkbait is a shallow diving lure that comes in a variety of colors. For this review I used the chartreuse shad color. The J-Spec dives down from 1 to 4 feet in depth, and suspends when not reeling. There is a small rattle inside which I really liked for its subtlety. Viewed from…

Liquid Mayhem Liquid Mayhem walleye attractant is a -you guessed it- liquid scent meant to attract walleye to bite. The mixture is made of real minnows and garlic, and certainly stinks enough for me not to question it. I don’t recommend sampling it inside a small room. Since I was headed out ice fishing with uncle Randy, I figured this…
