Each year as the Winter slowly comes to an end or the sight of Spring is near, most anglers get that annual excitement for many reasons, including all the new products that hit the market. One of the products this year is a fishing line, called Vicious. The Vicious company has introduced a new line to the Northland. This Vicious fishing line has the ability to make superior line that lives up to the angling community's expectations. With the latest technology and dedication, along with the Advanced Copolymer Technology (A.C.T.)™, this Vicious line has proven to stand the test of time. Vicious has utilized more than 30 years of experience in the line business, and ACT formulation means dependability. Built with high tensile strength, very low stretch, superior knot strength, superior castibility and ultimate impact characteristics make this line top-notch by any standard.

Vicious comes in multiple line tests in Clear/Blue Fluorescent, Low-Vis Clear and Low-Vis Green, and also is available in the ever-so-liked Floruocarbon. For more details it can be found in the local baitshops come spring or at www.vicious-fishing.com. Again this product will give you that competitive edge, whether its for that weekend trip with your buddies, or fishing those tournaments, Vicious is a line that is made in the USA and puts fish in the boat or on the ice.

So with the middle of February upon us and the Walleye season coming to a close in less than 10 days, now one can really focus on those panfish or get to the numbers of Spring sport shows that are soon to be upon us. There will be a number of shows coming our way starting with the Ray's Sport and Marine open house at the end of February, then the Builders show ( March 6th and 7th) where I will be giving a seminar on increasing speed techniques for Walleyes which will be held Friday night at 7:00 PM and then again Saturday at 4:00 PM. Then we will see the boat show at the IRA civic center on March 14th-16th, where again a number of seminars will happen. One can also stop by the Jaycee show on March 22nd and attend a day filled with seminars presented by the Northern Minnesota Guide League. If nothing else, it is a good time to stop by and see many of the new products available for the up coming season.

As for the fishing report...the cold ever-so-changing weather that we have experienced again this week has continued to cause havok on many anglers success, or better yet the lack of opportunity to get out and enjoy a day on the ice. For those anglers wanting to brave the elements of high winds and very cold temperatures, most have found the bite to be slow at best when chasing the Walleyes and Perch. The panfish anglers are still finding better numbers on many of the local lakes, but the size of the fish continue to be much smaller then one would like.

With the best ice fishing season coming over the next 8 weeks, along with those warmer temperatures, no better time than now to start thinking about the upcoming water season or getting some new line on those ice fishing rods, for that last season ice bite. If you're looking for an outstanding ice line, look for the Vicious line, it truly is a line that will help find, feel, and catch those fish.

See you on the water,
