hello, im looking to buy a rod/real for offshore fishing, now im undecided on the brand and just trying to get some feedback from people with years of experience, fishing and equipement, please advice me. thankyou. i would like to know what kind of combos all you guys have put together and how they work?

Okuma was for almost thirty years been subcontracting and manufacturing reels and parts for both shimano and daiwa they make a great product (having just come on the market as their own entity in the last ten years) and they do it at poor mans pricing. I have all kinds of reels from accurate to zebco (a-z) like that? I have uses (specialized needs) for each reel I own. I have exploded Daiwa’s (2 in fact) They fix or replace them when you send them in for repair. So will Shimano. I am very pleased that for ten years I have used three Okuma’s and have yet to even get them tuned up (beyond what I do every six months to every reel I own) The Shimano grease is the best on the market. and okuma is the best for the money I think. (I did at one point fish Daiwa and then later Quantum exclusively)

Surf Fishing in Barbados. Advice?

Hey all,

Any shore fishing you do can be done with a maximum of twenty pound test unless you want sharks. You can catch Barracuda, reef fish, Tarpon, the list is huge. You might find your time better spent snorkeling and spear fishing. That’s what I would do.

Which is a better jig/worm reel: Shimano Citica or Curado?

I have had my Curado for about a half year and just got my Citica in the mail. My Curado is the 7.0:1 gear ratio model, and the Citica is a 6.3:1. I have been debating whether I should put the Curado on my 7′M rod for cranks and spinnerbaits, or if I should put the Curado on my 7′ MH rod for jigs and soft plastics. So, which reel, the Citica or the Curado, would be best suited for which technique. The spinners and cranks I’ll be throwing are from 1/4 to 1/2 oz. The jigs are mostly 3/8 oz.

I would use the citica as the worm reel. a lower gear ratio is the main reason I say that.

what does the song “flightless bird, american mouth” mean?

what do the lyrics mean??
they are so confusing:
I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

well im not totally sure because the lyrics are VERY confuzing but i do love the song!!!
ummmm im gonna say how i think it relates to twilight if that helps any, so i think its basicly talking about how to people fall in love.
