New Daiwa
Saltist Lever Drag
2 Speed Reels!
They're HERE! Both the
single and two-speed Daiwa Saltist Series Lever Drag Reels
have come into our inventory. No smoke and mirrors, the
reels shown are the one's that arrived - in quantity, in our
stock.
Daiwa
introduced a new series of saltwater
reels based upon their very popular and well
designed Saltist series of cast aluminum
reels. These new reels offer some features
sure to please anglers looking to combine both
speed of retrieve and cranking power.
Ultimately there will be four models of two
speeds, with the two smaller models here NOW,
and the larger sizes in December '09.
Certainly Daiwa took a look at what Avet's
been up to for the past few years and came to
the realization that spectra has changed the
game in favor of the use of smaller gear for
bigger fish - if that gear is up to the
challenge. Daiwa also upgraded the drag
material to a carbon fiber design (again more
like Avet's been offering on all their reels).
Daiwa states that the reels will have 13-17#'s
of drag with freespool, and button down at
22-26#'s of drag. Pretty impressive specs if
they can live up to that level of performance.
They also feature 6 bearings, and a 6.3:1 &
3:1 gear ratio. All in all, it appears that
Daiwa will have some winners on their hands
with the new Saltist Lever Drag reels.
Introduced at the same time as
the two-speed LD's, Daiwa produced the same
reels in a single speed form. These single speed reels all share
a 6.3:1 gear ratio, and 13#'s of drag measured
at strike with freespool performance
(manufacturer's spec). Like the 2-speeds, the
little 20 will hold about 325 yards of 15# and
210 of 20# mono, the larger 30 size will hold
295 yds of 20# and 230 of 25# line.
(You might notice, with two exceptions below,
our pictures look a bit different than most
wanna-be imitators. That's because we actually
have inventory, we shoot our own pictures -
from our own merchandise. May not seem like a
big deal, but it is. It means we actually have
stock, we don't blow smoke, we run a million
dollar inventory so we can ship your order in
a timely fashion. Beware of phantoms of the
'net. There are plenty who present a big
image, but the reality is something quite
different. We've been around for over 12 years
as a legitimate retailer and e'tailer. We were
the first saltwater specialty internet
retailer - we do things right...and treat
folks the way we ourselves would like to be
treated.)

Penn International
Two Speed Reels
FREE SPECTRA, NO CA SALES TAXES
- Save more at CharkBait!
 The New V
series reels from Penn incorporate several enhancements that
make them even better performers than they were over the
past decades of record setting use. The new models
incorporate Penn's more modern push button shifter, more
durable and higher capacity drags, improved ergonomics in
terms of their handle, and a few other things you'll be hard
pressed to see or feel until the time comes to put the new
reel to a real test. Let's just say, these are the best
reels Penn has ever made, and they set new standards in
terms of performance, durability and reliability.
Personally,
I have to admit to having a true fondness for fishing my Newell
and Penn International reels. I own my share of Avet reels and
love them too. And I lust after owning just one more Tiburon.
But, when I
dream about big game fishing, there's no doubt a Penn
International is in the picture. For good reason, Penn
Internationals define the class in big game fishing.

SPECIAL OFFER
Penn International
Rigged Your Way

There's no better way to
prepare your new International for fishing that laying on some
Izorline, Jerry Brown or Cortland Spectra with a mono top-shot -
spooled right & tied right!

Note: we don't include second
rate braided lines (sounds like Rough-Line) with your order, but do
make available higher quality AMERICAN PRODUCED SPECTRA - not a
bargain basement "braid" of dubious manufacture. There is a difference, and true Spectra is
the superior product, with Jerry Brown and Izorline being the two
best in the business, and Cortland coming on strong with their
colored and natural Spectra products.
Made in America, and very proud of

Accurate BX-2 Series
Reels
Red & Silver Reels - Back in Stock!
Free Spectra!
 Accurate
is on a roll! These guys are impressing the heck out of us. Yes,
Accurate in my opinion is really reaching the level of quality and
design that puts them at the head of the class. Their new production
facility which opened up a few years ago is state-of-the-art stuff,
and the boys know how to use it. They are building some terrific reels
and their newest are uncompromising. They will get the job done.
The B2 series
of reels were really made to fish 60# and down. Years ago,
when the first Boss series reels were first introduced their numbering series
matched up with our West Coast rod's typical fishing weights.
A 197 was for 15#, 270 - 20#, 870 - 30# and 665 was like a
4/0 for fishing 40#. That was the idea. But, Spectra changed
things and over time Accurate also changed things to
accommodate higher test fishing. The practice of guys using
smaller reels, holding heavier lines, taming bigger fish
became more popular in our sport. So, Accurate progressed
along those lines, their gear was inherently capable of
doing this given the unique drag system.
Buy,
folks always seem to push the limits. This is especially so
for some of our Gulf Coast fishermen who may use 80-100#
line on a 665 to deal with grouper or jacks, and button down
the drags to horse the fish from their holes. Same scenario
for folks fishing structure, rigs, wrecks, rocks...
When Accurate
developed the B2-30 & 50 they beefed up the "guts" of the
reel to accommodate more extreme fishing styles. This
beefing up process was extended to their new Boss Extreme
series two speeds. They are the most robust reels Accurate
has produced, and are made for folks testing the limits of
performance.
 What
I'm writing is not intended as a knock of the previous
generation of Accurate reels. The present
B2
series are more than capable of fishing up to 40# on a 270,
50# on an 870 and 60# on a 665 - though my personal
preference is 10#'s lighter on each of these. If that
matches up with your application - do not pass go, buy the
special we have posted above on the current crop of B2's
before they're gone. You'll love the reel, and it will be a
great long term performer for you. However, if you fit into the other camp
of guys who are pushing the limits of the reels beyond that
level mentioned, the new Extreme BX series of Boss reels is
exactly what you need - EXACTLY.
 - sorry for a lack of specs, 400's are about the size of the
270, 500 like the 870, 600 like the 665 in terms of line
capacities. In time there will be other size variants to
these reels, but those derivatives have not been manufactured yet...
As you can see, we actually have the goods in stock, in silver and our
own exclusive candy apple red... Contrast this with a few other
websites that post things they don't have (using stock images pulled
from the manufacturer. In most cases we photograph products
from our own inventory - what you see is what you get-and we got it
in stock!)

Tiburon Smart Shift
Reels
- Free Spectra
and Free Wahoo, Tuna or Marlin Lure $40+ Value
Smart Shift - Automatic Shift Two Speed
Reels
 One
of these reels just might be the perfect jigging reel made today, and
they're great for a lot of other fishing applications, too! The
automatic shifting Smart Shift design gives you cranking power when you
need and a high speed retrieve when speed helps get the job done.
The larger sized Smart Shift reels offered here give you increased drag
capability and line capacity. These were the first models made by
Tiburon several years ago, and they helped create the "buzz" that
generated so much excitement and interest. Since that time the SST's
 have
proven their point and taken their share of fish. Heck, I even landed a
200# class yellowfin on my 30. Yes, I own a 30 and a 16 and am lusting
after an 8... But, they've taken much larger fish than I can boast, up
to 300# tuna so far! I found that the fight did indeed take less time, since there was always
pressure on the fish. When the fish came towards the boat, the gearing
would bump up. When the fish tried to turn it's head, we'd drop down in
gear and keep more pressure on the fighting fish. It's a great system,
it works and it's a wonderful tool. Another application that's proven
the worth of this design is bottom fishing for larger size grouper.
You've got the low gear cranking power that's so necessary in keeping
these fish from their holes. And, just like I found fishing yellowfin
cows a few years ago, you'll get the fish in faster since there's always
pressure on it. When it comes at you, you're in high gear, when it turns
it's head you drop back down and move the fish back your way again.. In the case of
the Tib, the fish doesn't get the chance to get you in trouble. It's a
wonderful tool, and the newest versions of the Tiburon SST's are better
than ever.

Sevenstrand E.A.L.
Electro Acoustic Lure
Blow-out!
 7Strand's
E.A.L. lures have created a significant buzz since their
introduction.
These
lures are not for everyone, no doubt about it. Not many
folks will be willing to spend over $200 for a lure, especially one
that's going to be used as a teaser, often run hookless, only intended
to bring in some fish to the spread. But, for folks fishing
tournaments, Sevenstrand's E.A.L. is very likely the best $250
investment a guy can make. Well, while we have the
stock to support the deal, we have 'em at $99. And, I
might add, we've got the right color patterns for you, and
the right sizes. (-;
Several years
ago the folks at Sevenstrand came across a government study
produced for the commercial fishing industry. It involved
finding the sound frequencies made by distressed bait fish.
The purpose of the study was to find out if sound could be used to
attract game fish to a specific area. Based on this research
the folks from Sevenstrand did some experimenting themselves,
added the help of an aerospace scientist with 20 years experience
in the design of microwave and millimeter wave electronics, and
arrived a reliable and small sound producing design that fits into
a trolling lure.
 During the
testing of the Sonic E.A.L. many species of Billfish have been
taken, as well as other gamefish. Many anglers have
commented that the E.A.L. is the most effective teaser they have
ever used. A few complained that it seemed the Billfish
didn't want to get off the teaser and onto the bait! This is
a proven new product, it's won two prestigious Tuna Club of Avalon
tournaments. As well, it's now making waves in Cabo. Battery
life is about eight hours, approximately one nice long day of
fishing.
If you target
billfish, if you know someone who spends long days
searching for marlin, grab some of these before they're
gone. Stock is limited to what's on-hand, about 100 pieces
is all that we have. I don't expect them to last long at
better than 1/2 off. Yes, we even include a battery!

BahamaLure
Handmade custom
quality big game trolling lures from Nassau Bahamas. We
just added a full range of new LGC (low center of gravity)
lures from BahamaLure. All are hand polished, made by Alan
Wardle personally. No better quality on the market and no
more effective lures, either.
 Certain
places in the world offer a haven for anglers.
Destinations where there are always adventures to
be had, fish to be caught. Places like these allow
custom lure makers the opportunity to develop
their trade, experiment, innovate and prove their
design's effectiveness. CharkBait
is proud to introduce our clients to BahamaLure!
From Nassau Bahamas comes some of the nicest
trolling lures you will ever find. BahamaLure
makes uniquely wonderful hand-made trolling lures
in a range of styles consistent with the needs of
tournament anglers, guides and discriminating
anglers. There's no big hype or personality cult
following supporting this lure firm. They have
recently built a very solid reputation among those
who know best big game sportfishing by simply
being effective. BahamaLure offers a straight
forward, hand made, custom quality, trolling lure
that has proven effective not only in the billfish
rich waters of their manufacture and design. They
have gained a faithful following from Baja, the
Pacific Islands and Oceana. If you are looking to
add a few high quality lures to target billfish
and other exotic species of gamefish, I think
you'll appreciate these lures for years to come.
They are very well made, offer the right head
shapes, right color patterns, to make your time on
the water productive.
We stock only the LGC (Low Center of
Gravity) series of lures from BahamaLure - their
best trolling lures.
 These
have proven their most effective lures. They use a "keel"
weight system running below the leader hole so
that they'll remain upright at all times. Because
the lures are guaranteed to swim true, this give
three advantages over other lures.
1. The eyes are always oriented correctly (a live
baitfish will not be dragging along on it's
side...)
2. The hook set will remain oriented correctly as
desired (there is a hook lock in the back of
BahamaLure heads)
3. Swimming action will always be at it's best
because the lure swims true
In the
picture above you can see the soft hook lock
feature all LGC Series BahamaLures offer.
It makes rigging the lure, orienting your hook rig
much easier and more predictable in use. It also
provides a cushion between metal and resin, thus
reducing chipping and abrasion on your leader.
 Another
thing we liked a lot about these lures are their
eyes. The large shimmering eyes are unique and an
added proven tool for getting a fish's attention
on the troll. The unique appearance has proven to
drive game fish crazy. I've seen times when the
"blind" lures go unnoticed while those with eyes
get hit. These lures take that observation into
play and really provide a startled and scarred
quality to the lure once in the water. That makes
a predator even more likely to target this lure.
Custom lures
such as these can easily run in the neighborhood
of $100 or more. Some are worth it. BahamaLure
offers all the quality you'd expect in such
refined and effective hand-made lures, they also
offer a good value to the user in terms of
pricing, and that made them stand out as something
we wanted to secure for our clients. We think
you'll like these lures a lot. The lures featured
below are all about 12 inches in length.

Braid's Marauders have proven excellent wahoo catchers for a
lot of years. But, Dennis does not stand still, he's always
improving the product, as he did a couple years ago with the new
finish. Well, he's done it again by introducing four new flavors of
lure similar to some other "competitor" but much nicer in terms of
the way the lure tracks in the water and it's finish. The new color
patterns are proven performers, and sure to be a hit with fishermen
and fish alike. The new lures are available in the two larger sizes,
perfect for what we like to drag for 'hoo.
