Abu Garcia Rods Have the Perfect Balance

With Abu Garcia Rods and Reels Combined, Fishing Has a Great Feel

Abu Garcia rods and reels bring newer ideas from an older company. Abu Garcia began by serving the fishermen of Sweden and has incorporated some great Swedish engineering innovations. The signature of the company’s line is “high quality at a reasonable cost.” Abu Garcia rods and reels include many styles and models but the newest Abu Garcia rods are the VENDETTA and the VERITAS. Each comes in a spinning fishing rod version and a casting fishing rod version.

Leading the Balanced Life While Fishing

The newest of Abu Garcia rods is the VENDETTA Casting Rod. Vendetta means private feud or rivalry, and is aptly named when talking about challenging bass. Abu Garcia reports that their rods have been designed for precision balance when coupled with the Garcia REVO and SORON reels. The VENDETTA rod features factory balancing to meet the weight requirements necessary for both baitcasting and spinning reels. That allows a perfect pairing and user sensitivity. Abu Garcia rods uses Pac Bay guides with SIC inserts for great performance and durability. Even with all that, they come at the very reasonable price of $79.95. Abu Garcia states on their website, that when their rods are in the hands in their customers, they please 97% of them. Fisherman’s Choice Pro Shop can highly recommend the VENDETTA. (more…)

Quantum Smoke Reels Step Ahead in Technology

Tough Enough for the Big Fish; Light Enough for the Smallest Fisherman

Quantum Smoke reels and rods are new in more than one way. The Quantum Smoke PT Series is the lightest reels ever built by Quantum. Available in two sizes, a 100 and a 150 size casting versions, these tough little reels make it easy to hold them all day long without tiring.

A Quantum Leap in Lightness and Durability

Quantum Smoke bait casting reels use new super-lightweight materials and technologies. The engineers at Quantum have pushed performance limits and achieved a high degree of durability in a super-light, yet metal, design. Fisherman’s Choice Pro Shop, one of the best bass fishing tackle shops you will find, has Quantum Smoke reels available in two sizes: the 100 and larger 150 size are both available in right-hand and left-hand versions. The 150 version can hold up to 160 yards of 12 pound test line. The 100 holds 135 yards of 12 pound test. The reels come in ultra-high speed 7.1:1 retrieve or the high speed 6.3:1 retrieve gear ratios. The 150 version also has a cranking model with the slow 5.3:1 retrieve for grinding down those deep diving crankbaits without wearing yourself out. It has 8 ball bearings and one roller bearing on both models. If that’s not enough for you, take a look at the Quantum Tour KVD (Kevin VanDam) Burner reel. It is a spinning reel with a 7.3:1 retrieve ratio and 11 ball bearings. The Tour KVD is the pinnacle of the Quantum Smoke reel line. (more…)

Deep Diving Crankbaits for Greater Depths of Fishing Enjoyment

Deep diving crankbaits are a real surprise to bass. Designed for fishing at much greater depths than bass normally see crankbaits, these special bass fishing lures can suck them in and bring a lot of enjoyment to your fishing excursions.

For Norman, Deep Diving is Normal

Deep diving crankbaits have been made very popular by Norman, a fishing lures manufacturing company. The Norman DD22 is probably the most popular in the line. As the name suggests, the target area for the DD22 is for deep diving at about 22 feet. There are two models: the Standard Norman DD22 and the Norman Suspend DD22. That gives anglers two ways and two techniques to catch fish at this depth. The Standard version dives pretty quickly to that depth and if stopped slowly starts to float back up. The Suspend version dives to that depth and then lingers, lurking around without moving much. It slowly wanders around “looking” for fish. When you begin cranking it in, the Suspend version starts moving again. The one disadvantage we see to the suspend version is that if it gets stuck in a limb it won’t float back up where the Standard one will.

Both of the Norman models come in many different colors. The Suspend model comes in seven. The Standard DD22 comes in almost fifty different models. There is a color for everybody and every fish. (more…)
