New Shimanos

Sneak Peak

New boy toys! Coming in July

I sure hope Shimano's new stuff is better than that tease. As much money as that Company makes, they could at least hire a decent advertising company to do the promo. I think "Pole Dancing" would have been a better choice than the "Twist".

Hmmm, I couldn't get the video to play on my computer, I'm too lazy to upgrade from my old hopped up 8088 XT and it barely gets on the internet and is slow to load.

So what was in the Video?

The only thing worse than that video was clicking on this thread thinking that I was gonna see new shimanos!

I am sorry. I just had to post the topic.
Your look at the video was kinda like a courtesy sniff.

Does anyone know if anything interesting is coming out?

Check out these new Shimano Tyrnos reels... a 12 and 16 in topless. Look like nice small LeverDrags! Two speeds too! Looks like a trip to Roy's is in the making for this weekend!

I seriously doubt Roy's will stock any of the new Accurates, but I could be wrong. The Tyrnos look like they are priced to compete with the Avets, but
I'm wondering how well they will cast compared to the Avets. Still waiting to see what a Hoo-X feels like!

Mr. Bill, it doesn't do any good to live this close to the water... I'm always working and can hardly get time off to fish. Did do a run up to Mesquite Bay off the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge recently to check on a well, and it sure was beautiful up there. I need to take some poles next time.

Come have breakfast with us!

Here's the current Kaikon. It upgraded from 10 to 13kg drag and now has a lower profile line counter. There's an upgrade on one of the main bearings also. Price went up a little but these are some great reels.
