I've purchased a few hard and soft baits where the seller was in Japan. I've had no problems. Clearly, the possibility of needing to return any of these items was minute. If the feedback is solid, and you don't mind paying the shipping, I say Go for it. So much of the quality tackle originates there anyway. Good Luck A-Jay

OK - You could Look - but don't Touch ! A-Jay

Unless of course, you are making 60-80 yd casts - which btw, I am Not. A-Jay

Sorry Glenn - I fixed it that same day. A-Jay

Perhaps, but one thing is certain ~ I will need to be resuscitated ! A-Jay

I just watched it. (had the DVR set) It was SICK ! You guys already know this, but it has to be repeated. Those Bass are Freaks (just like the bluegills in there). It's like the opposite of Bass Fat Camp. No doubt we will hear more from this lake in 2 or 3 years. What will a 20-23" fish from that lake weight ? It might be scary. A-Jay

Truly a Very Sporty Jersey ~ Looks like it would go quite well with a pair of Camouflage shorts. A-Jay

Oh Man - Dwight. That is a beauty for sure. I will look so good holding one of those . . . . . A-Jay ps - keep'em coming :c)

If it doesn't snow where you live, look at all the fun you're missing ! A-Jay

That's what I am - New Old Stock. A-Jay

I would suggest the swim bait of your choice fished on a jigjead. Mr. Mueller beat me to it in the previous post That was a Huge smb ! btw Paul, that is one sweet looking Ranger Boat. A-Jay

Cool - I'll keep an eye out for them. A-Jay

I got mine. I'm a disappointed in BPS. They have such a Huge selection which is good but I do feel that their prices are a just a bit much. Are they going high because they Can ? A-Jay

I do now ! A-Jay

OK - hope you feel better. If you must know - That was a very good but long day - I may have actually nodded off right there . . . A-Jay

I've ventured to The Dark Side ~ A-Jay

Bad To the Bone ! A-Jay

Great review Kevin and thanks for taking the time to share it. I have the 6'9" & 7'4" spinners coming in the mail. I'd not seen nor heard much about them before ordering them. You certainly seem satisfied which is making me feel less anxious about the purchase. I'll let you know how it goes. btw - for anyone in the market - you can thank me later - and you will. Retail on this rod is $129.99 check out these prices - with Free Shipping ! http://www.amazon.co...+smallmouth+rod+ A-Jay

Yea, not really not going to return the LCs. We all have our favorites. A-Jay

Thank you very much - A-Jay

I'll let you know - they are en route at this time. As you are a rod builder, I did something you probably never have to do - I bought them (on line) without ever having ever seen or even held one. It's all about research, reputation and first hand knowledge, if available. Living in the North woods does not provide access locally to a large selection of higher quality tackle. But it does provide a nice local population of fishes. btw - I'm sending you a pm. A-Jay

Couldn't pass them up - 2 new spinners added to the arsenal. ESMS74M-F (1238599) 8+tip 1pc 6 to 12 lb 1/8 to 3/4 oz 7ft 4in M Fast ESMS69M-XF (1238598) 7+tip 1pc 6 to 12 lb 1/8 to 3/4 oz 6ft 9in M X-Fast A-Jay

Some top water plugs and suspending jerkbaits. A Jigging spoon is also a good place to hang one. A-Jay
