Nothing better than watching a young angler put in the time and see it pay off!

Bowen and Jason White found a nice redfish up at Fort Clinch, and judging by that smile, Bowen enjoyed every second of it.

We love seeing the progress of our local anglers—especially the next generation. Keep up the great work, Bowen!

NEW PENN FIERCE V — NOW IN STOCK!

The next generation of PENN Fierce has landed at Amelia Island Bait & Tackle! From working the creeks to soaking bait off the beach, we’ve got new setups ready for your next fishing trip.

WHAT MAKES THE FIERCE V WORTH A LOOK?

CNC Gear Technology — precision-machined gearing for smooth, dependable retrieves and lasting durability.

Full Metal Body & Sideplate — helps keep the gears aligned and resist flex when a hard-pulling fish puts your reel to work.

HT-100 Carbon Fiber Drag — smooth, consistent pressure when the fight heats up.

Four Sealed Stainless Steel Ball Bearings — smooth operation with added protection against corrosion.

FIERCE V LE COMBOS
Available in 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000 & 6000 sizes!

Graphite composite rods provide sensitivity, PENN Dura-Guides deliver corrosion-resistant durability, and select models feature premium cork grips. Whether you’re looking for a lighter inshore outfit or something with more muscle, come find your fit.

FIERCE V LIVE LINER
We also have:
✅ 6000LL & 8000LL reels
✅ 9-foot & 10-foot surf combos

WHY GO LIVE LINER?
An adjustable secondary drag lets a fish take line under lighter tension while you’re bait fishing. Turn the handle to disengage Live Liner and switch to your main fighting drag. A handy feature for anglers fishing live or cut bait!

The 6000LL delivers up to 25 lb of drag, while the 8000LL steps up to 30 lb. The surf combos pair those reels with graphite composite rods, PENN Dura-Guides and comfortable EVA grips.

Ready to upgrade your inshore or beach setup? Stop in, put one in your hands, and let us help you pick the right size and get it spooled! 🎣

**Another beautiful flounder caught on AIBT bait!**

The fall flounder bite is producing some quality fish, but here’s an important reminder for everyone planning to fish over the next couple of months:

Florida’s recreational flounder harvest closes **October 15 through November 30**. During that period, every flounder caught must be released. Harvest reopens **December 1**.

Enjoy the bite, handle them carefully and make sure they swim off strong.

Chris with a beautiful redfish!

Good luck to everyone fishing in the Kids Can Fish Running of the Bulls Tournament this weekend. We hope the bite is hot, the fish are big and everyone has a safe and memorable tournament day!

Tired of picking backlashes instead of fishing?

Meet the new Abu Garcia Revo X VoltiQ—the baitcaster that thinks while you cast.

Its electronic braking system reads the spool throughout the cast and makes adjustments to help deliver better control, fewer overruns and the confidence to keep casting when the wind picks up.

With 10 brake settings, you can dial it in for almost any situation:

⚡ Settings 4–6 for everyday fishing
⚡ Settings 7–9 for wind, heavier line and larger baits
⚡ Setting 10 for maximum control
⚡ Lower “Pro Mode” settings when you’re ready to open it up and chase maximum distance

And unlike some electronic reels, there are no batteries to buy or charge. Add a sealed IPX8-rated braking system, 20 pounds of drag, a lightweight C6 carbon frame and Abu Garcia’s proven Revo platform, and you’ve got a reel that works for the beginner learning a baitcaster and the experienced angler looking for more control.

Less time digging out bird’s nests. More time putting your bait where the fish are.

The new Abu Garcia Revo X VoltiQ is available now at AIBT. Stop by, put one in your hands and let us help you add one to your fishing arsenal.

🚨 **BIG FLOUNDER ALERT!** 🚨

Now that’s the kind of flatfish that makes you look twice.

The fall flounder bite is showing off around Amelia Island, and this one is proof that some serious fish are moving through our local waters.

Who else is chasing flounder this weekend before it comes to a close on the 15th?

Here's what we got for Live Bait working towards the weekend.
