Everyone that I have come in contact with in this small industry is genuine and nice. All are eager to help and exceed my expectations for customer service and satisfaction. Two of these vendors […]
Daiwa Tatula 8.1:1
Light and smooth. Spool is a thing of beauty. Fine gears to produce the 8:1 ratio. Great for throwing 1/8 jigs. Many use it for steelhead fishing in the PNW. Not the greatest drags for that application but you could do it, I worry about the gear and pinion after a few hot steelhead but […]

Shimano C Word
Curado, Calcutta’s and Chronarch’s this weekend. Turning out to be a Shimano weekend. All reels are in pretty good condition considering their age and usage. The Calcutta TE 400 is a great reel.
