    Icast 2006

    Go take a look. Their 2nd day writeup should be coming up shortly too. Look like the Japs are now launching the hi-end JDM finnesse reels into the US market as well.

    Thanks Mak!

    The exodus of hi-end JDM finnesse reels to the US is well underway it seems. Looks like we will see more Americans embracing spinning reel technology and Japanese vertical jigging techniques as well...but then again there will always be the few who will never be converted!

    And of course, no real Tuna HO would ever consider having one of these, not even in their back-up box I guess! (see 1st reply):

    Makaira ,

    Tackletour is the efforts of Asian decent Americans , I think one of the tester is a guy name Zander . A very good site but mostly for light tackle enthusiasts and freshwater in particular .

    GSP with FC properties!!!

    Wow GSP with FC properties!!!!

    Must get my hands on some of this stuff soon,

    "Pure Fishing-Berkley Fireline Crystal A week before the show we unveiled the Pure fishing lines. We received the most positive feedback via email and on the forum on the one line in particular...the Fireline Crystal. Sure enough the Fireline Crystal stole the show and took home top honors for the "Overall Best of Show!" This new formula is the first and only translucent superline, and offers anglers exceptional strength in stealthy presentations."

    Thumbs up icast from allcoast

    Guys,

    Take a look at this link for some techie update on tackle. IMHO, Hawk gave an excellent tackle review on each manufacturer's products.
