What’s new at Doc’s?!?

Hideup Coike Restock!

We’ve received in a full restock of 17mm Coikes, including a few new colors 👀👀.

We’ve also received a solid restock of the Watermelon Fullcasts as well.

All of these guys will be first come, first serve, and in-store only until next week. Come Tuesday, whatever is still available is eligible to be purchased and shipped (please email, call, or message on social media to order).

Happy Thursday!

What’s new at Doc’s?!?

Happy Saturday! A couple new things:

Livescope 2s have arrived, and we do have a limited stock available for purchase (for now) after all Pre-Orders are filled.

Berkley Lab Series minnows are now restocked in both 5” & 6” profiles across a few colors, there is still a decent back order on these guys, and we anticipate them to move rather quickly again.

In the world of Urchin baits, we have received in another Hags restock of the Prickly Pear, in both the 19mm and the “Big Tex” 25mm. There may or may not be another Hideup restock coming down the pipeline sometime next week as well 👀👀

Finally, we have received in a full restock of inline weights, bottom bouncers, and we will now be stocking the Church Boards to provide another option to our trolling crowd.

We hope everyone has a safe, and fun weekend as we kick into the last month of 2026 summer fishing!!
