  2. Best I can tell Inshore means "CHEAP"
  3. I know I shouldnt cheap out on leader material but hoping I can find something a little less expensive. I came across Daiwa J Flouro on Amazon 50 yds 40lb for $17, Its made in Japan and features about the same diameter to strength as Blue label. I will also look into the Yo-Zuri that scoobydoo suggested.
  4. Thanks to all for the replies, it seems the inshore is made with a different process than Blue Label, Premier, Gold Label etc which describe a double process " Our exclusive double-structure process fuses two 100% fluorocarbon resins to create a leader with smaller diameters yet with exceptional knot and tensile strength. " I will be using it for fishing the canal so it would be used for fishing the top water, mid water and occasional jigging
  5. Not to beat an old dog but ODM certainly did not stand behind thier warranty when my rod failed. They providide the worst customer service I have revieved to date. I liked the rod but sold it after having to pay $300 for a new top section, and have not owned another since.
  6. Any opinions on Seagaur Inshore Fluorocarbon leader material compared to Blue Label or other brands ? The price difference is considerable with the Seaguar Inshore selling for $25 for 100 yard spool of 40 lb which is considerably less expensive than the Blue Label. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you gdc
  7. Not to beat a dead horse but I recently have been thinking of getting into fly-fishing and while watching some YouTube videos was surprised to see the direction the sport has taken. I thought originally fly line was developed to cast a weightless lure, now they are casting multiple weighted nymphs, sometimes with added split shot weights and a strike indicator. It seems this could possibly be done with spinning gear and seems to get away from the whole concept of fly fishing. I understand the need to get the lure down in the strike zone but are we now dealing with a whole new type of fishing that does not necessarily rely on the use of fly line/rod.

  9. Do you have a link to the kick stand you showed?Thanks

  10. When we watch this years filmimg of "Wicked Tuna" I cant wait to see what they say they are getting per pound !!
  11. I was over on the Cape Cod Fishing and Surfcasting website and noticed that there are not many photos of people posing with their canal caught bass. It used to drive me nuts that people would be posing with short bass up on the service road for photos and then claim they safely released the fish. Now it seems the latest fish being exploited over there is the school bluefin. What has chanced with people, do they enjoy the fishing or is it more about the brag photos. I have said social media will destroy fishing, hunting and society. We already see the political divide and anger even amongst friends and family members over politics due to social media. When will people learn ?
  12. I came across about 4 bags of the tuna size Ron Z tails, they are about 6 years old and smell a little like stale/rancid fish oil, not a super strong smell but if you put your nose to them its definitely there. Are they still good to use or will fish avoid them or spit them out quickly causing problems with hookset. Was planning to use on small bluefin
  13. It does not seem right to me that a good portion of lobsters caught in New England waters are now shipping to China. I view the waters of our coast as property of its citizens and feel the lobsters caught there should be offered at our markets instead of being sold to the highest foreign bidder. To add insult to injury, the US taxpayer will then subsidize the lobsterman when he falls on hard times due to regulations etc.. How many species has China destroyed with their voracious appetite ?
  14. I did some estimates from just looking at photos so obviously not that accurate, but it looked like both the Wald large and medium baskets would hit my heels. I have a size 12 foot and the rubber boots are anything but petite.
