Vibram Five Fingers


Shop Now! We have just received a huge shipment in many models, colors and sizes.

The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 muscles and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.


That’s why we recommend wearing FiveFingers for exercise, play, and for fun. Stimulating the muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception.

Sufix Fishing Line



Sufix is know as an excellent fishing line in both Monofilament and Braid. My friend Jeshua Smith turned me on to Sufix, and I am glad he did. I have been using both for several months now and really like them.
The mono is very limp for the weight of the line. This reduces the instance of twisty line turning into wind knots as you fish.
The braid is super thin, very light are really, really strong. This stuff allows you to throw a country mile - and has very little stretch for a solid hook set.

Boga Grip

Quickly operated with the use of only one hand, this grip easily encompasses the lower jawbone of most species. It won't rub off a fish's protective slime layer, and provides a more hassle-free way of handling noteworthy catches for a few quick snaps of the camera before releasing them unharmed. The trigger sleeve slides along the main tube for fast opening, closing and locking. The main tube contains a precision scale which is calibrated using certified weights to ensure extreme accuracy. The stainless steel tube and components won't break down in saltwater and will survive years of hard use.

Rainy's Premium Flies

Rainy's is a name well known in fly fishing circles for high quality, durable flies. We are carrying a variety of saltwater flies such as:
The Merkin Crab for redfish
The Super Spoon for redfish
The Clouser Deep Minnow for Specks and Reds.
The Micro Me pop popping bug for redfish.
You can shop these and other saltwater flies along with some great fresh water bream and bass flies.

St. Croix Ultra Lite Spinning Rod with Shimano Reel

I have a new love: My Premier Ultra Lite spinning rod. We spent 8 glorious days on the Buffalo river in Arkansas recently floating, fishing and having fun. During this time we put lots of smallmouth bass, crappie and bream into the canoe. This combination is great for creek fishing as well as any fresh water fishing in our area.

This little rod was super light and balanced and allowed me to drop a lure right next to a rock or log almost without thought. The rod feels like a natural extension of my body. It's also sensitive enough to feel the lightest tap of a bass or bream.

I paired this rod with the super smooth running Shimano Symetre 500FJ reel and Sufix Braid line. The reel is light and smooth. I never had a tangle and didn't worry about the times that I dropped the rod into the river. The Sufix braid I used was 6lb test, but is equivalent in diameter to 2 lb mono. This feathery line is invisible to fish - but still really strong.
