The Sebile D&S Crank and the Fenwick Elite Tech Smallmouth rod series topped their respective categories in Field and Stream Magazine's annual "Fishing Best of the Best" survey, which was published in the March issue.
The D&S (Deep and Snagless) Crank (pictured) has a triangular-shaped body and is armed with a moving wide-gap hook so the point is protected by the lure's flattened tail, making it one of the first conservation-conscious lures. It's available in nine colors.
The Elite Tech Smallmouth rods are crafted from a high-modulus graphite blank designed specifically for smallmouth applications using the Fenwick Development System Technology, which is based on over 60 years of research and development of rod materials and design. Titanium frame guides with lightweight Zirconium inserts reduce overall blank weight and line wear. They come in five baitcasting and five spinning models.
