Lemire's Plugwork's, 2012 Best Striper Lures (Custom Wood Striper Lures)

parbitman@westrockadvisors.com (Paul Arbitman) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 02:10:00 +0000

Lemire's Plugworks offer wooden saltwater and freshwater lures for striper fishing and other types of game fishing. They take great pride in the craftsmanship and catch-ability of all the fishing plugs the hand craft. They not only make their our own fishing plugs, but they also fish and test them extensively.

Al Lemire started building plugs as a hobby, but it quickly turned into a passion or an obsession. As striped bass and bluefish are the targeted species, their plugs will work for a variety of salt water and fresh water game fish.

Each plug is hand crafted one at a time in Rhode Island, USA. They are turned out of premium woods, then drilled, sealed to prevent water intrusion, primed, airbrushed and top coated with high grade automotive paints and durable top coats. Then they are assembled with the highest quality components on the market today. They are stainless steel thru wired for strength, have 4x strong VMC hooks, wolverine triple wound stainless steel split rings, krok super strong stainless steel swivels and nickel plated grommets to protect the surrounding wood.

The craftsman pay close attention to every detail of the process and do not overlook any step. Even drilling the belly holes against the grain of the wood to hold its integrity. their plugs are built for good looks but most importantly for fish catching ability. The fish love our freshwater and saltwater lures and we believe you will also.

WATCH THE ACTION

Lemire's Plugworks carry a full line of swimmers, needlefish, and top water plugs, including the Sea Fly, the first thru wired, salt water rigged wobble bait which has been creating quite a stir over the past year in the northeast striped bass fishing scene. They add new plugs and colors frequently, along with customizing colors to order so visit us regularly to see what we are up to.

No matter where you go striper fishing, you can trust Lemire's Plugworks to have the right fishing plugs for you. Check them out

Bad Ass Fishing T Shirts, Striper Slayers Apparel (Best Fishing T-shirts 2012)

parbitman@westrockadvisors.com (Paul Arbitman) — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 02:59:00 +0000

Striper Slayers Apparel is a brand-spanking-new fishing apparel company. Based out of Worcester, MA, Striper Slayers Apparel has this Urban Hooker jones-ing for more. I met with the Founders of SSA at the 2012 NE Saltwater Fishing Convention in Rhode Island. They explained to me that the company just launched and these styles are literally hot off the presses. The owners are not only running the company but they are also tattoo artists by trade. When they are not beautifying their clients skin with masterful tattoo artistry, they are focused on creative visions for future t shirt designs. Their style is a perfect blend of old school tattoo art and my favorite past time, striper fishing. A f#$king match made in heaven.

Their styles are eclectic and the quality of their t shirts and screen printing are exemplary. Disclaimer: At this point I personally own only one single piece of their fine work, but lucky for me, there are more to come! I was told that there are many more styles being drawn up now including a fly fishing line. Ooh-boy! My buds from Bug Slinger might finally have some ~~reel~~ real competition. If you have any sense of cool, go ahead and check them out.

Afterhours Custom Plugs, 2012 Striper Lures (Best Striper Fishing Lures 2012)

parbitman@westrockadvisors.com (Paul Arbitman) — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 01:57:00 +0000

Don Guimelli- Afterhours Custom Plugs
"I've been an avid striped bass fisherman probing the shorelines of New England with bait, fly and plugs for more than 35 years, as well as a woodworker for more than 25 years. I became interested in building my own plugs because I knew exactly what I wanted in a plug: the highest quality construction combined with fish catching ability and castability. Using my combined knowledge of fishing and woodworking, I created Afterhours Custom Plugs."

Afterhours Custom Plugs are handcrafted saltwater wooden plugs, built one plug at a time. Each plug line is turned, painted, and assembled by hand. The production of our plugs is limited, due to the amount of labor involved. Each plug line is excessively tested to ensure that we are producing the best quality and fish producing plugs available to fisherman on the market.

We build plugs to order. Starting with the wood, we use Alaskan Yellow Cedar which is sealed to prevent water absorbtion. All plugs are thru wired with stainless steel wire and use the highest quality hardware including VMC hooks, Wolverine SS Triple split rings, and Krok swivels.
The exceptional finish on Afterhours Custom Plugs is both beautiful and durable, second to none! Afterhours Custom Plugs are designed and built for beauty, durability and of course catching fish.

2012 Best Surfcasting Reels (Best Salt Water Fishing Reels)

parbitman@westrockadvisors.com (Paul Arbitman) — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 01:59:00 +0000

VAN STAAL & MURPH THE SURF LURE FEATURED IN IMAGE

Van Staal is a renowned manufacturer of some of the best surf fishing tackle in the world. The following is my personal opinion of the Van Staal reel product line.

This reel is an obsessive compulsive’s dream; great design and extreme attention to detail. The reel is available in three differing finishes, black, silver and gold. The reel finish is smooth and impeccable. The rotor cup is machined aluminum with diagonal lightening holes, and so is the spool. The reel features an anti – reverse crank. There is minimal tendency of the rotor cup to back-up, making the anti-reverse positive and precise. This reel is bail-less, and possesses a high quality roller guide. A reel with a bail is also available as a special order. The spool fits perfectly to the rotor shaft. The drag is sealed and contains bearings to make its adjustment very precise. The drag-knob is situated on the front of the spool and won’t get caught in your line.

This reel is a surf caster’s delight. I feel like a smooth operator using the VS. The retrieve is effortless and smooth. The bail-less reel was a little foreign for me to operate, but grew on me quickly. The lack of bail provides lack of problems, like lack of losing my beloved Murph The Surf Classic Striper Lures. The gears move smoothly under pressure and while fighting those aquatic beasts, and reeling in is effortless and serene.

VS Series Reels

You won't find weak die-cast aluminum or plastic in these reels. Van Staal premium spinning reels are expertly crafted from high-grade titanium and steel, the same materials used to build today's advanced aircraft. And this means unyielding strength and consistent peak performance each and every time you tackle the mighty ocean. The patented maintenance-free drag system features stainless steel ball bearings and an impenetrable gear case. The reel is sealed and water-tight to keep salt, sand and problems out, letting you fight the biggest fish in the harshest elements with no worries. Experienced anglers know the challenge isn't hooking big fish, it's landing them. Enter the hardened stainless steel Main Gear, oversized so it will never slip or strip under pressure, providing you more fish-fighting torque per crank of the handle. These reels feature 30 pounds of lock-down drag for the confidence you need when battling the biggest cobia or striper, or wearing down a hard-fighting tuna or marlin. Learn More

2012 NE Saltwater Fishing Convention, Rhode Island Poppers

parbitman@westrockadvisors.com (Paul Arbitman) — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:30:00 +0000

Got wood? Armand Tetreault of Rhode Island Poppers certainly does. I hooked up with Armand recently at the 2012 NE Saltwater convention in Providence, Rhode Island. Right off the bat, I have to say that Armand is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He's as genuine as you get. He takes extreme pride in the custom wood lures that he builds and he truly appreciates all of his customers that fish them.

For me there seems to be a huge disparity between the quality of wood and craftsmanship that comes from the many lure builders out there. I feel that guys like Armand and Rhode Island Poppers truly go out of there way when it comes to the quality of wood that is used in building lures. As a matter a fact, one of the biggest stand outs for me in meeting Armand, was the excitement I felt emanating from Armand while he described his mission of scouring the world to find the most exotic wood for crafting his truly amazing lures. He explained to me that one of his favorite woods to work with is the Acacia Koa wood. Koa is a species of flowering tree, endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Its name in the Hawaiian language, koa, also means brave, bold, fearless, or warrior. I can tell you that his lures crafted from Koa have such a natural beauty and their look is very dynamic and fluid. As you spin a Koa crafted lure in your hand, the grain is forever changing. The natural grain of Koa wood looks different from every angle. I can only imagine how decadent the lure looks to a hungry striper while swimming by it in the water.

Besides the Koa there were so many awesome baits coming from Armand's booths at the convention. I met some amazing folks from the fishing industry at the convention and Armand is a true stand out. I just want to thank Armand for spending a good deal of time with me and sharing his philosophy on fishing and life. Check them out on his website and facebook.

Willow Classic Reels (Fly Feels)

FRUIT OF THE GODS—This Willow Classic Reel is the closest reel to the old traditional classic pure black reel. But with a different twist… sometimes an occasional chocolate brown seam appear. Ebony is the Greek word for "fruit of the gods". Historically, drinking goblets were made from its wood, as they believed it was an antidote for poison, and if used would ward off their enemy's evil intent. This Willow Reel will surely make a striking ensemble. Check out this and Willow classic's other masterpieces here. Check it out

Deep in the pristine jungle of northern Thailand lies the River of Reflection. Named for it's crystal clear water, the river is home to the legendary Mahseer. A species first prized by British anglers in the days of the Raj for its phenomenal fight. Filmmaker Travis Lowe follows three anglers as they work with local Karen villagers to protect the entire 60km length of the river. Hoping to open up the River of Reflection as a world class destination fishery. And in the process, help bring desperately needed money to the cash starved Karen villagers. A feat that may require a witch doctor, a spirit curse and quite possibly the introduction of mahseer fish aquaculture. But every Thai odyssey begins and ends in Bangkok, the City of Life. And like Adam Trina says "the 'Kok's a cruel mistress and if you don't treat her right, you're in for a big surprise when you lift up that skirt".

Currently in production, Thai One On is coming in 2013 to F3T. Provided we make it out of Bangkok alive. A Cinema Digital Production and a Travis Lowe film.
