The Ultimate Tackle System for Catfishing…

by gunner

 

Okay, so these systems are not just for catfishing, but I have to say that after trying MANY different types and ideas over the years, these should make MILLIONS of catfishermen very happy!

 

These systems have mainly been marketed to saltwater anglers, but Albackore has decided to move into the freshwater market, and a good decision it is!  I can say that I am happy they made it…

 

The two systems we have are the Albackore 5 Tackle Backpack, and the Albackore “Altunative”, with 3 boxes.  These systems can be used for ANY type of fishing out there today.  The tray boxes can be loaded up with any type of lures, accessories, etc…even to the point of having extra boxes set up for specific fishing outings.

 

But I have to say, for the catfisherman who has been overlooked for years by the tackle industry, these systems are for you!

 

First, the Albackore 5 is a backpack-type bag that has the ability to hold rods and reels on its sides as you are walking to your favorite cat spot.  These have TONS of storage in the side compartments, and the top compartment has two moveable Velcro dividers.  Plus, the compartment is around five inches deep, and that can hold most extra reels or anything else you want to put in there.

 

You can load the pack up with all your terminal tackle, scents, dip-bait, rods, extra line spools, you name it, and then strap it on your back and have your hands free for the lantern and bait bucket.

 

We have been using these all year now and I still will argue this is the absolute best tackle system any cat-man could ever ask for.  The 5 system is also available with a mini lunch cooler that can replace two of the 5 removable trays, or you can strap it on the top and still have all 5 trays in the pack! This is just one of the most versatile tackle systems I have seen in years!

Albackore 5

 

 

This year, at every seminar event I have had the pleasure to speak at, I have taken the Albackore 5 pack with me.  I have to say that once I went through the pack and showed the storage and versatility you have with this, the last thing I show is the fact that it is a backpack.  At every event you hear “Wow, ahhh, cool...”  The people just love it.

They offer so many configurations within the bag.  There are even double sized trays and color coded latches (that WON’T break off in your hand!).  I am truly convinced once the “catfishing elite society” gets a look at these systems, Albackore will sell as many as they can make and as fast as they can make them.

 

I ask that if you are still looking for that perfect “catbag”, and still carrying the 5-gallon buckets full of everything you can stuff into them, then do yourself a BIG favor…look at Albackore and find the tackle system for you.  I am sure once you visit their site and look around you will find just what you always wanted and dreamed of!

 

Also be sure to catch one of the “Reel Fishing with Gunner” team at seminars near you!  We are back in Dayton in September for the Hara Fishing & Hunting Show, and will also be doing seminars at a few Gander Mountain stores along with a few scheduled radio shows and tourneys!

 

I can honestly say we are so glad to have found this system!   It is an honor to have been added to their official Pro Team of fishermen!  You can visit their site at www.albackore.com and see all the Pro Team members at: http://www.albackore.com/proteam.htm

 

Thank you for taking the time to read about this tackle system and I hope to see you out there!

 

Godspeed…
