Daiichi Hi-Speed Line Recycler

The Daiichi Hi-Speed Line Recycler one of the products that I recently just found about am very excited to talk about it. I had one of my customers mention it was a brilliant product for spooling and de-spooling reels. Upon some research I realized how important this product really is.

Have you ever tried to put a pen through the spool and get the wife to hold it while you spool it? Well that's what I commonly have done. This will eliminate the wife and make spooling a much easier process. Also to if you want to get rid of your old line this can easily be done too.

One last point that really makes this product a must is the fact that it can clasped onto to just about any table surface. There is a tension knob that can be adjusted to make a nice tight fit while adding line. Putting on loose line is not good because when you get that large fish the line will actually dig into loosely fitted line thus creating a snag and you can kiss that fish good-bye!!

Here's the link to the Daiichi Hi-Speed Line Recycler.

Tight Lines,

A simple way to make your own assistant hooks for jigging

I was on youtube and came across this video. Very easy to understand even if it's in Spanish? (I'm sure I'll be in trouble for saying that)

Enjoy! Nigel

Jigging on Wakashiomaru Jan 19th

My friend Wayne and I got out the rods for 2008 and went to target some smaller yellowtails. Sometimes you can do very well with many fishing getting caught. Of course if you're going fishing in January you are sure to have some pretty nasty, windy, wet weather.
 
Basically this boat goes from 6am to 11am sharp and the fee is only 6,000 yen. I like the price because the location is close and I can still do stuff with the family after. I think I will be using this service more and more….  For you you Tokyo boys we drive about 45 minutes to the boat and this is considered very far ;)
 
At about 8:00 am I got one! I switched to a jig from Marine bait called the "Shaking Electric" in 150 grams. The flash or finish is simply amazing and it really does have that ELECTRIC feeling to it. I got the hit in about 80 meters of water with in initial hit at about 60 meters or so. So it was hanging quite close to the bottom probably feeding on small bait fish.
 
After that I switched on and off with Inchiku jigs with one large wopper lost. My rod was completely bent over for about 5 minutes straight. After feeling a POP I thought it was gone but upon retrieve we found a small rock fish hanging off the hook. I think what happened was a small fish got eaten by a large fish, then the big fish decided to let go. Too bad it was a nice fish I think :o
 
 
 
Got the fish home and my son got to experience his first viewing of a large fish. He was ohhh and ahhhhhhhing over it.
 
Later on at night Wayne and I had some yummy sashimi and pan fried (hot plate) yellowtail with salt/pepper and ponzu (vinegrated soy sauce) to our wife's delight.
 

Looking forward to going again and please enjoy the video I made.

Until next time folks,

 
Nigel
