[ReelyNauti]

Name a reel....humm shimano....diawa..... most of penn 's new stuff, all are made over seas.....even the "so called made in usa stufff is "partially imported....

But ALL if not most of the hooks and line are china

Good luck!!

Thanks be sure to respond to sample sale and field testers ad the meetings will be early to mid march to get samples to test ..... so far i have Dale and Mega....

Here's a list of ideas I can think of (good luck on the trip!):

Bait/fillet table - about 30" wide with a "level-lock" type gunwale mount, slot for knife, and a way to hook up the raw water hose so that water is constantly flowing across the table (why has no one invented this yet??) I have a valve on my raw water line, so I don't need one on the fillet table, but one as an option would be good for some, since you don't want "full blast" water coming across it while filleting.

6" Pliers that will cut braid line (powerpro/spectra/etc) with replaceable cutting blades. Include holster and coil lanyard

Collapsable "davit" that can be inserted into gunwale rod holder with an open pulley (and cleat at the bottom) for pulling lobster/crab nets (hoop nets) by hand (no motor). Light weight and easy to stow, but strong enough to not bend when filled with a 20# juvenile nurse shark being pulled up through 30' of water. The cleat at the bottom is to tie off the line so you can inspect the catch without having to swing it over the deck.

Weedless swimbait "jig" heads with eyes in 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, and 1 oz sizes. In California, we fish in and around kelp beds for bass and lose a LOT of lures to snags in the kelp. It is remarkably hard to find large sized weedless jig heads for rigging Big Hammer swim baits.

Combination lobster and crab gauge 3.25" on one side, 4" on the other side. Stainless or aluminum

 

[ReelyNauti]

pliers i got , need to concentrate on the faster moving , and bulk items that we all readily consume but i like some of the ideas bait tables are low profit due to shipping weight and size but i might make a few hundred pcs in spring

Thanks be sure to respond to sample sale and field testers ad the meetings will be early to mid march to get samples to test ..... so far i have Dale and Mega....
