02/07/10 - Thank you for visiting our Weekly Specials. We've got some dandy deals for you again this week, and a new series of reels we've been waiting to get our hands on since July. A couple years ago I mentioned that Okuma was finally getting on the right track, had listened, brought in some of the best minds in the sportfishing community to help them get it right. Well, those efforts have come together with the introduction of the new Makaira series of reels. We've received all models of this exciting new series, and they're something quite impressive. The littl 10 came in, and it's a cute little bugger, and very strong. Yep, it's a game changer for the sportfishing reel manufacturing industry. Bold statement, but I really do believe you'll be very favorably impressed with what these folks have achieved. Avet's Raptor series is posted, with the new wide version available these reels are seeing a lot of play by folks using Calstar's 770 series and Seeker's 2X4. (Calstar will be expanding this series of rods to include the currently available 770H, and will add an XH, XXH and XXXH). We've got new Newell's posted, the new pink and blue ones. These make a very useful Valentine's presentation with our matching custom rods. Other new items of interest, another color option for Avet's versatile LX 6/3 offered here, Hercules Series rods from Seeker, Open Water's jig box on special, GIANT SQUID JIGS, pliers and sabiki sticks. I think you'll find some dandy reasons to have checking our Weekly Specials.

Thank you for visiting our Weekly Specials.

We hope to be your favorite place to grab sportfishing gear by providing sound advice, sharp prices and excellent service. Thanks for visiting CharkBait!

Great Stuff,
Mark Smith

Avet Raptor

New Dual Drag Models

These reels will not be something everyone will need, it won't be another broad application piece suitable for most everyone. Avet has produced a narrow application reel, for some simply beyond what's called for, for others just what they've been dreaming about. The Raptor has garnered an awful lot of interest because of it's unique size and drag capability. The first Raptor supplied was basically an SX on steroids, capable of higher drag settings given it's dual drag configuration (both drags on the same side of the spool). It holds a bit more line than an SX, 300 yards of 65# Spectra with a short topper (typically Fluorocarbon leader) or 270 yards of 20# straight mono. The reel also features Avet's Magnetic Cast control for more effortless casting with less potential for backlash. Cosmetically these reels look like a shrunken HX. The spool and frame are a bit different than the standard series reels from Avet, allowing for the extended line capacity. They'll turn over 17#'s of drag at strike with freespool performance, and button down at about 27#'s of drag! (Ouch!) It's a small, stealthy critter with a big bite, thus the name Raptor. For those with hopes of taking a large fish on a small reel, this one's got the capability to nail the bigger ones. On the right rod, with the right person, it's going to do just that.

This week we also received the much awaited HX version of the Raptor. This is THE reel for folks targeting larger fish, with a need for casting capability. For the long range crowd, fishing the new Calstar 770H or Seeker 2 X 4, the HX Raptor will cover the casting requirement you've been struggling to accomplish with your 30 narrows (or 50's heaven forbid!).  The HX Raptor will turn over 40 pounds of drag with freespool and button down at about 50#'s! It truly is a "small" powerhouse. Initial production is the standard HX size and the HXJ (narrrow) version. Most folks will load these reels with 100# JB hollow, and have just about the same line capacity as is offered on a 30 narrow! You can fill the standard width HX Raptor with up to 500 yards of 100# Spectra, if you run a very short topper. Or go 300 yards 80 or 100# and run about 100 yards on top (80#).

We have the full compliment of colors of the SX Raptor in stock, silver, blue, gold, gunmetal, black, purple and red. The HX Raptor is here now in red, silver, gold, blue, purple, with black arriving next week (fingers are crossed in anticipation). We guarantee our prices, for your piece of mind. For unused/unfished gear, you have a seven day refund and 30 day exchange privilege. As well, we offer 30 day price protection. (SX Raptor - Pictured below left, HX Raptor right)

Okuma Makaira
- Just Arrived!
Introductory Special: Free Spectra Spooling

TAX FREE!
We'll cover the CA Sales tax for in-state residents on this item.
Out of state clients never pay CA Sales tax.

I first saw this new series of reels at the July ICAST show. I was flat out impressed. Without doubt, this is a game changer for the sportfishing industry. Okuma listened, listened well, and applied what they heard in creating what may very well be some of the best built reels on the market today. The reels are robust, solid, creatively engineered, and made to go the distance.  (Model 10 pictured)

 

All the new reels feature a carbon DFD (dual force drag) systemfor exceptional drag performance, high drag capacity, long term reliability and maximum alignment and durability. The Makaira reels offer a "Pull Bar Drag System" with the advantage that the drag is being pulled rather than pushed, which places heavy pressure on the left side plate and utilizes the frame for overall stability - that's the flaw of design in all reels built today, and Okuma feels they've beat the system. With the Pull Bar design, there's no pressure to create frame flex, or reduced drag pressure as a result of tolerance alignment issues. As a result of the design, the open top models in this line have none of the flex issues common with other reels; no need to compensate for the disadvantage of design by increasing mass, for instance. (Model 15 pictured)

 

The highly efficient drag system was designed and engineered by Tiburon Engineering to increase maximum drag pressure, reduce side load presssur on ball bearings and improve heat dissipation for long term smoothness over extended fights. The Okuma DFD is considered a wet drag system comprised of two carbon fiber drag washers that are sandwiched together and bonded with a fiber glass core. Pure carbon washers are coated with a thin layer of Cal Sheet's Universal drag grease for virtually zero start up inertia. These washers are compressed by two precision ground 17-4 grade stainless steel drag plates that have been ground flat, then polished for maximum smoothness. The stainless steel friction drag plates have a minimum 32 Rockwell hardness allowing for high-end drag settings and consistently smooth drag performance at all ranges! (Model 20 pictured above)

Other important points of design:
Silent anti-reverse, 16 point double dog anti-reverse for the most reliable, smoothest and strongest anti-reverse on the market. These reels so not depend on a one way bearing for their anti-reverse, yet they have a similar slick feel to them. Robust!
Helical Cut Gears, offers improved gear meshing, and gear smoothness. They feel like butter being sliced when you change gears. They're both smoother and stronger as a result of their design.

Amazing things do happen. The transition in ownership is completed, the new factory running more smoothly and some good things are happening with this wonderful firm. Yes, we have two new colors of Newell reels! I was more than surprised to get a glimpse of the blue and pink prototype reels shown here. The reels are not in my barn, they are in production this week, and we'll be receiving them the first week of December - limited stock with just a few being produced in the first run. Yes, you have a first run opportunity on the newest Newell.

The new reels are only being produced in the 220 and 229 sizes, 5:1 gear ratio. There may be more sizes built over time, but just two sizes of each model are available in this first run. Of course the 220 and 229 are a couple of Newells most popular reels ever built. The 220 holds 220 yards of 20# line, the 229 290 yards of 20#. Don't let the size deter you from fishing these reels for decent size fish. I have caught bluefin over 50#'s on my own 229, and I'm no great fisherman. For those bottom fishing using Spectra, the little 220 might be perfection for a 50# rig. The reels use the same easy to source drag stack as a Penn Jigmaster, you can update the drags over time too, and you can always find parts for Newells should you need 'em.  So, they're great reels from a long term ownership standpoint. Add to this, they're great casting reels, and are well regarded in that respect. Fact is, if you are trying to cast lighter baits or lures, back to anchovies for instance, there are few better reels you could have on a rod. Newells do help a guy or gal cast, and cast well. (I need to apologize for the pink reel animation left - these were prototypes, there was a flaw on the reel's logo, don't expect that on the final production).

Okay, so that's the practical side of owning a Newell. What's with the colors? Well, there are a lot of gals out there who like to fish, too! And, no doubt the light weight of the Newell makes that an attractive aspect of these dandy reels. The pink color is excellent, kind of a baby pink. With the silver components the really sparkles. The blue is a very nice shade as well, not too light and not too dark. It's a great choice of color, and will prove unique at the rail. Both colors are done well, very well.

Want to pair the new reel to a perfectly matched custom made rod? We've got you covered. We're commissioning Wade Cunningham to build four rods designed just for these great casting reels, in matching blue or pink wraps. One rod is rated for 12-20# line test, and will do great service for you matched with the 220 reel above fishing 15# lines. The other rod is rated for 15-30# and will fish 20-25 very nicely. And, to round things out there's a 20-40, that will fish 25-30# superbly. Wer've added a 670 to the mix, great for 30-40# lines. Our ratings are conservative, the rods can be fished throughout their range quite nicely. (Action is consistent with a 196, 270, 870 and 670 model West Coast rods). All rods  are seven feet in length and use a Fuji DPS composite seat. They are triple wrapped and made from rugged E-Glass blanks. Guides are Fuji aluminum oxide for safe Spectra use, with long lasting stainless steel frames.

TAX FREE!
We'll cover the CA Sales tax for in-state residents on this item.
Out of state clients never pay CA Sales tax.

The New Cavalla is the next generation of 2-speed reels by Okuma. The reel has been developed from the inside out. Okuma's priorities were set in the development of this reel, longevity, durability and duration of performance. It's a one piece forged aluminum frame design, with forged aluminum sideplates that are specifically designed for the high torque that Spectra lines put on reels. The heat treated stainless steal helical-cut gears that are tough AND smooth. In fact, Okuma boasts some of the smoothest feeling gears you'll find on a 2 speed reel. This reel would not be complete without a superior drag system, using USA made carbon fiber drags washers and using legendary Cal's 2-speed grease which gives this reel an impressive drag system that you can count on time and time again. The Cavalla line-up benefits from some superior West Coast innovative minds, Tiburon Engineering and Cal Sheets. That's a darn good pedigree, and explains why we've changed our thinking about Okuma. They took the hard knocks, learned from past mistakes, made a commitment to customer service, and they've demonstrated an openness to improvement. The Cavalla is the first demonstration that Okuma can build things right. The all metal Cavalla offers sport fishermen and wonderful value, combining quality and affordability.

Here's a wonderful reel, in a unique color. The LX two speed is a most useful reel, versatile, good casting, excellent drag system for fishing 30-50# lines, and a darn good troller from a private boat within those line test parameters. The freespool performance is legendary, and the quality of machining, price and performance, nothing less than superb. Well, I got a call from the folks at Avet that they had made some in this color, which we've offered in the past on one of the smaller sized reels, and jumped on 'em. The reel is indeed unique, looks different than anything else out there, and is a very good piece to own. Can't say much more than that.

Hercules Rods by Seeker
The Ultimate Jigging Rod

TAX FREE!
We'll cover the CA Sales tax for in-state residents on this item.
Out of state clients never pay CA Sales tax.

Seeker has a new series of rods which we're proud to be introducing to our clients, the Hercules. This series of blanks represents a combination of innovative design and experience, producing a superb line of rods with a specific application in mind, vertical jigging. Having said that, they're no single use rod, and they'll find much wider application than jigging. Some of the technology employed first reached fishermen by way of the Super Seeker rods which made great use of S-Glass and graphite in producing the most powerful blanks on the market. The Hercules blanks are constructed the same as the Super Seeker, but with a thinner outside diameter - skinnier - but with the same sort of power and durability.

The Rods feature Virtus Ring Lock Guides, made from 100% Solid Titanium Alloy Frames - They're ultra light in weight, with nanolite ceramic inserts and with the ring lock frame system to virtually eliminate ring loss issues. So, the guides are safe for Spectra use, durable for long term performance, corrosion proof and very light in overall weight. These features all work in concert with the new thin, light and super strong blanks to produce an amazing rod, unlike anything you've fished before.

These new rods have that unparalleled strength, but also lighter weight and thinner diameter, resulting in a rod of very light weight, high durability and superior overall strength. With the rod building input of Billy Vivona and the rod production expertise of Randy Penny of Seeker, these new rods offer more strength, lighter weight and greater capability than any "jigging" rods ever produced. That's a broad statement, but in this case it is indeed a valid conclusion.

Open Water Jig Box

Here's a dandy buy I think a lot of folks will appreciate. The Open Water Jig carrier holds lures up to 10 inches in length, perfect for iron, knife jigs and other lures. The 12 plastic tube inserts keep things organized well, holding a dozen or even double that quantity of skinny lures. You can even rinse off your lures while in the bag since there's an open bottom allowing drainage. You've probably seen another similar product offered by a well known bike company, at somewhere between $20-30. Well, we made a nice buy for you...

ProMar Squid Jigs

The Giant Squid have come into our waters in force this past week. BIG THINGS, 40# plus Humbolt Squid, eating everything...and in turn, being eaten by our local anglers. So, the big squid jigs are much in demand all along the So.Cal. coast. The jigs we're offering here are the one's I'd recommend for folks traveling into Baja, fishing Los Arenas on the other side of La Paz. You need the bigger jigs, and these are the ones most favored. The big 24 ouncer is something we've offered for a few years, but ProMar added a very nice 16 ouncer to the mix. This one is easier to store, still has the larger hooks necessary and greater weight required to get you down to the big ones. If you like calamari this is the time to get out there, and we're not talking little munchkin calamari, we're talking calamari donuts and calamari steaks. (And, if you're not into eating Calamari yourself, might I also suggest that there's no better swordfish bait than a big squirt. Same story for big tuna fished off the kite, Humbolts are good food! So, go catch some and put 'em in the freezer...)

Okuma Tools

Saw these first at ICAST back in July, now finally being supplied to us. Okuma has three new fishermen's tools on the market. Three new premium pliers, each a bit different. All are made from solid machined aluminum. All are anodized the same as the reel model they correspond to by the same name. All feature tungsten steel cutters, for both mono and braided lines. All are spring use a spring loaded mechanism allowing the jaws to open when not under pressure (easy one hand operation). All come with a sheath and lanyard. That's the common part of the product range. But, they do differ. The most traditional is the Cavalla Plier, in black. These utilize a long nose design for easy hook removal and other typical tasks. The Cedros (blue/black) offers a high-end split ring plier, for complimenting vertical jigging jobs. (name corresponds to a new line of machined lever drag and star drag reel). A good split ring plier is a nice thing to have if you do a lot of jigging for deeper water fish, and these just might be the best ones ever built that were dedicated to that style of fishing. Their handles are ported to reduce weight. This is the nicest working split ring plier I've used, wonderful in that regard. The jaws will fill quite a few rolls. The Makaira matches up to a new line of tournament quality reels that are not here yet, but will represent a significant leap for Okuma in terms of performance. This plier has more of a bull-nose design, wider with more grip surface. They're ported for weight reduction.This is the pair that would probably prove most useful on a boat or while working (home or job)! 

Our regular selling price for these pliers will be $79, MSRP of $89. This week they're on  special at just $69, and that's a dandy price for this sort of quality.

Our new rods are made to fish the type of bait we typically hope to bring up on a sabiki. They are a little stouter than what's been available and are available in six and seven foot lengths. Because of that they're fine for use catching mackerel, squid, sardines or whatever gets tempted by your offerings. The rods are two-piece, separating before the grip, and they now feature a nicer wrap design in our CharkBait red. black and silver colors. They have a metal top that won't crack from your sabiki weight's contact when stowing. They can be fished with spinning or conventional reels (though conventional gear is really what they are intended for). They even have a gimbal! They use a ferrule design that makes putting 'em together easy, and taking 'em apart less of a chore.  This is an imported item of very good quality.

Why own a Sabiki stick? Good question and there is a very good answer. Sabiki's can be a royal pain in the butt or anywhere else you happen to get hooked. While Sabiki's are not terribly expensive, it's a dumb waste to use 'em once and toss 'em away because they're tangled or a hazard aboard a boat with their small hooks dangling in the way of unsuspecting folks. With a Sabiki Rod you insert your line through the rod, it has a larger opening allowing you to reel the sabiki inside the stick and even leave your weight attached to the sabiki. They're a good thing to have aboard, and they'll pay for themselves very quickly since you won't have to break out a new sabiki each time you catch bait.

We do apologize for any inconvenience this policy creates. But, it's the only way we've found to post an email address on-line and not receive so many solicitations from some family member of a deceased "Nigerian" leader trying to move great sums of $ out of the country...
