We love learning about your favorite things and sharing ours with you! So many of the outdoors items that we use on a regular basis, as well as the place we frequent, come from the conversations with other outdoorsmen in our community.

This page is a place for us to share our favorite things with you. If you have suggestions, we’d love to hear them. Be sure to connect with us on Facebook or Twitter.

Some of the links in this post are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, Ordinary Outdoorsman will receive an affiliate commission.

Fishing

  • Shimano quick fire spinning reels – available on several models and price-points. Allows one-handed operation of a spin-cast reel. Read more about the Spirex model.

  • Little Cleo spoons – our favorite lures for pike. We’ve caught big northern on even the small, 1/4 ounce spoons, though we usually fish 1/2 to 1 ounce spoons.
