4. Capital companies and private equity firms have destroyed more tackle companies and ruined the fishing industry than PETA. This is the one that gets me the most. My case in point, Abu Garcia. They were the absolute best when it came to innovation, aesthetics, and build quality up until Pure Fish...

Coming back for Round 2 ... After serious thought and 20+ years as a tackle enthusiast, a few observations: 1. ALL rod manufacturers have at least 1 over rated rod in their product line up. In my personal experience, the LEAST over rated would be Evergreen-International. They had a few that didn't f...

But they have a heck of a fanboy following on Facebook

So does Chrysler.

MOPAR, Baby!

The RC 7'3" H looked interesting, especially with Fujita calling it the "maniac's rod", but it's long for me (kayak). I ended up looking at the 6'10" Medium Fast Casting 85g 3/16 - 3/4oz which Fujita mentions using for jerkbaits, poppers, squarebills, and some spinnerbaits (smaller I'm assuming). I...

reputable but I don't buy much from them. I recently got a rod from them and it went well. They itemized everything which is a good thing.

Tabu Tiny Tim out of production BUT RAID Japan has a similiar bait that I used for a trailer on finesse jig

I think the benefit of the Jika Rig is multiple pivot points vs the single pivot point of the Texas Rig.

Zillions are reliable, dependable, stupendous

How you finding the durability on them to be? As a terminal nerd with mild ocd I'm always looking for better ways to organize. I can only go by first impressions, as it's been one trip on the boat. I didn't stand on it or anything like that but the outer box is quite sturdy but the plastic window t...

Found this by ryugi.jp
Comes in 3 sizes, I have the large and the XL
The large has hooks and weights of various forms. This one is for finesse jigs. They also have another without dividers, a bulk box.
Large is: 160mm x 95mm x 47mm
X L is: 200mm x 115mm x 50mm

I put mine up on group ASKING for $225 shipped in the US. I would probably keep it if it were 6'8" or a bit more. My local pond is clear with very little combat casting.
The only issue is a dirty handle. If it bothers somebody they can clean it. I think the cork is quite good.

I saw a rod on frakebrooch group for over $400. The rod was introduced in about 2005 by one of the Big 5 JDM rod companies. It appears to be in excellent condition. Not for investment purposes or antique value but to actually fish with. Just curiosity. Thanks What is the specific rod and someone ca...

Rods and reels stay in the garage on the boat 98% of the time.

Lures, lines related stuff, in the house 98% of the time.
