Reviews: Honest Fishing Reviews from Charlie’s Fishing

The Home of Fishing Reviews

Welcome to the Charlie’s Fishing Reviews page the place where we dive deep into everything related to predator fishing, saltwater fishing, lure performance and fishfinder technology. Whether you chase big pike, zander, perch, seabass or any other predator species, this is where you’ll find honest, experience-based fishing reviews written by real anglers on the water not by copywriters behind a desk.

At Charlie’s Fishing, fishing is more than gear. It’s about learning, testing, experimenting and sharing knowledge with the community. That’s why we created this dedicated Reviews Hub so you can discover what really works, why it works, and how you can use it to improve your fishing.

Lure Reviews for Predator Fishing and Saltwater Fishing

One of the biggest parts of this page is our lure review section. We test softbaits, hardbaits, glidebaits, swimbaits, bucktails, spinnerbaits, Ned rigs, topwater lures, metal jigs and more all in real fishing situations.

Our lure reviews go beyond the sales pitch. We focus on things that matter to anglers:

  • When and where the lure works best

  • Which predator fish react to it

  • Retrieve styles and techniques

  • Water clarity and depth considerations

  • Line, leader and rod recommendations

  • Durability and action

  • Natural vs. aggressive presentation

  • How the lure swims underwater

From saltwater seabass fishing to freshwater predator fishing — our goal is to help you understand exactly how the lure behaves and why predators react to it.

You’ll also find reviews of popular and upcoming lures used for:

  • Pike fishing

  • Zander / walleye fishing

  • Perch fishing

  • Seabass (saltwater) fishing

  • Multi-species predator fishing

If you’re searching for kunstaas reviews / lure reviews that are actually useful, clear and based on real catches — this is the place.

Watch Our YouTube Lure Swim Videos

Reading about a lure is one thing seeing it swim underwater is another. That’s why many of our lure review blogs include YouTube videos from Charlie’s Fishing TV.

In these videos you can:

  • See the real swim action of the lure

  • Watch different retrieves and speeds

  • Learn presentation tips

  • Understand how predators react

  • Discover when to use which bait

We also create technique-focused videos, where we explain how, when and why we fish a certain lure making these reviews even more helpful for both beginner and experienced anglers.

So when we say we review something we really mean it. We fish it. We film it. We analyse it.

Saltwater Fishing Reviews: Especially for Seabass Hunters

If you love saltwater fishing, you’ll also find a growing section dedicated to:

  • European seabass fishing

  • Coastal predator fishing

  • Rock & shore lure fishing

  • Surf lure fishing

These saltwater fishing reviews cover proven lures, techniques, conditions and setups that help you get the most out of your saltwater sessions.

From calm harbours to rough windy coastlines we test the gear in the environments it’s meant for.

Fishfinder Reviews: Humminbird, Garmin and More

Besides lure reviews, we also publish detailed fishfinder reviews. Modern predator fishing is closely connected to sonar technology — and choosing the right unit is important.

On this page you’ll find hands-on reviews of popular fishfinders such as:

  • Humminbird Helix 10

  • Garmin fishfinders

  • Garmin Livescope

  • Other high-end sonar systems

We discuss:

  • Side imaging

  • Down imaging

  • CHIRP sonar

  • Live sonar

  • Mapping functions

  • Screen size benefits

  • Real-world clarity and accuracy

  • Ease of use on the water

These fishfinder reviews are written after real-world testing — not based on spec sheets. So if you are thinking about upgrading your sonar, our reviews will help you make the right choice.
