    Any electroplating experts in the house?

    it looks to me like it could be a couple different problems, either reverse current (which is not likely) or the oxidation was not removed from the part. Could also be a lack of activation, or too high of voltage. Typically Nickel is used as a base plate because it doesn't oxidise or tarnish...

    spinners for steelhead pen-tac, r&b lure or, fishermans shack

    I am gonna put this to rest! To say I don't care about my customers is complete garbage. I didn't build a business that feeds a family and raises 3 kids by selling garbage products or not caring about my customers. I am a past sponsor on Ifish and have a disagreement with the new ownership so...

    Spin fishing for steelhead

    The NU fishes extremely well with spinners and spoons but differently! With all the ledges you have to focus more of your effort on boulder gardens and gravels flat riffles. In the summer the NU will run into the high 60's so small dull dark is the key! in winter, flashy and BIG! The NU is my...

    Matzuo sickle hook quality

    I sell tons of the Matzuo Sickle SiWash hooks, have lots of very happy customers that keep coming back to buy more as well. Funny thing in all of this, is I believe that Matzuo is gonna be making the new hooks for rvrfshr as well, not 100% sure on that but that is what I believe I was told. RB

    Clevis sizes

    This is something few people take into consideration and is a great point to consider. We pay close attention to this detail on all of our blanks. Note the blades with the R&B logo all have precise placement on the hole for your clevis compared to the standard Lakeland Cascade which is the...

    Clevis sizes

    We recomend a #2 size clevis for all casting spinners from size #1 to #5 when using french blades, however a #3 will work well also we just feel the #2 is a better choice. I would not use #4 clevis for french blades at all. RB

    Lure tape

    Vinyl lure tape will stick to blades very well with out coming off. Make sure the blade is clean and free from grease or oil, ie: finger prints. Oxidation on brass or copper blades will also cause the tape to lift. However, cheap blades often come with a very cheap thin layer of lacquer that...

    What is the best line for throwing spinners at coho?

    I run 17# PLine CXX or Clear Blue Stren Original. I dont really care about visibilty, fishing spinners is geared towards turning on the aggression of fish and aggressive fish are gonna kill it whether its 8 pound line or hemp rope tied to it. The other reason I use heavy mono is because it...
