One of the hardest things for me is pulling the trigger on buying new equipment. It is hard to lay down hundreds of dollars for the latest and greatest without being educated on it. You can always hit up a fly shop or large fishing retailer but most of the time I don’t want a salesman pressuring me into buying something I am not sure about. Our reviews are an attempt to help you get educated. That way you can make a well informed decision before spending your hard earned cash on the sickest goods around. If you are looking for information on a specific item email me at Chris@tasty-takes.com and if we don’t already have a review we will do our best to get one from someone who uses the product.

Product Review: Patagonia Down Sweater


I recently bought myself a Patagonia Down Sweater. I remember when these first came out, they looked like trash bags filled with feathers. I am not what you would call style conscious or well dressed, but I definitely didn’t like how they looked; and since I had a big bad ass puffy jacket I really couldn’t see the need for a light highly compressible down jacket.
