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.

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

I was on U-Tube and came across this knot from France. Looks like a nice easy knot for vertical jigging. I prefer the PR knot from MC Works but others might find this useful. My only suggestion is to really pull both ends tighter and make the colors change so it'll dig in deeper.

Engetsu bullet jigs from Shimano are here and they look real good! I personally haven't tried them but I will give them a go very soon. The shape is quite unique compared to Duel's Inchiku bullet jig. Usually other types have had the same standard shape, narrow at the top widening out towards the base. But these new one's have more of an oval shape and have more flash offering a more appealing hot look.

I first heard about these jigs while watching my favorite fishing show in Japan. The pro angler was dropping the jig to the bottom and when it got there he would slowly retrieve with short pumps on the rod. Between him and the other angler they were catching tons of fish. Part 2 was for larger game like smaller yellow-tail, again same technique and the same result…..fish after fish. I was drooling about how they might work for me.

In conclusion these types of jigs are here to stay and should become a mainstream product for years to come for the jig angler.

You can find these jigs on our web shop here
