Steve, 2 piece rods are definitely more popular in Australia and Canada, we have heard many theories. I think smaller cars is a factor...I grew up in Vermont(30 min from Canada) and I have spent some time visiting our team in Australia. Both Countries seem to have much smaller cars than the giant ga...

Martin, I am sorry we cannot divulge proprietary information....all we can say is that it works. You guys fish hard in Australia, they have been tested extremely well by our Aussie distributor the highly respected Nomad Sportfishing team. Give them a call for a testimonial. 13 Fishing Cool is Ocean ...

Mcyl, I certainly can't list what we do and do not own, that is a question you can discuss with ownership when you purchase our company....lol. as far as constraints go, we are constrained by only the materials we use...materials have design and strength limitations. We have no other limitations exc...

Steve, I agree with your assessment about Canadians using a much higher percentage of Left Handed Reels. Unfortunately we need more Canadian anglers to actually have this impact the global market. It is obvious the percentage of anglers using LH reels is growing, but sales are still small in compari...

In my opinion it is a incredible rod for the money, and many anglers should consider this option if they are looking for a rod in the $100-150 price range. Now lets discuss the differences. When a manufacturer bui...

MCYL, unfortunately, the sales numbers disagree with you. Its a extremely expensive process to design, engineer and tool a fishing reel. Those costs have to be justified by potential sales. Manufacturers do their best to get some LH options. I hope in the future more guys think like that so that we ...

The 7'1" and 7'4" Envy Black Cranking rods will be available around April 15th.

We have read all the forums, the rumors, and the speculation about not only our products but many new products hitting the market. We think that most anglers do not fully understand how fishing tackle is manufactured. I think the information below will shed some light on the subject and give forum u...

Lefties are enthusiastically contacting us asking when will we have LH models available. We are currently engineering a tooling the LH model(s) and we should have them available in early 2015.
