Gifts Under $250 – Premium Joy for Serious Anglers

The Okuma PCH Custom Conventional Rods are designed specifically for West Coast anglers. The PCH Custom is lightweight and sensitive with enough strength and backbone to get fish to the boat!

The backbone to the PCH Custom rods is the patented blank construction process, called, Unidirectional Fiber Reinforcement or UFR. This patented process blends unidirectional fiber over 24-ton carbon in the extended tip section of the rod to increase lifting strength and power. UFR provides strength without sacrificing sensitivity, so anglers can feel the lightest of bites.

The Phenix Mirage Ultralight Spinning Rods are composed of an advanced Carbon Fiber Phenix calls Net V. Traditional glass blanks tend to be heavy, thicker in diameter and lacks backbone. The Net V gives the Mirage Ultralight Spinning Rods a very soft and forgiving action while maintaining a solid backbone. The thin diameter of the Net V blank permits the Mirage to be extremely light and balanced. The Mirage series features a 2 piece option that breaks just above the handle. This allows for compact storage and travel while ensuring performance of a one piece rod.

Features:

• Advanced Carbon Fiber blank composition
• Exotic Burl reel seats with double locking nuts
• unique custom cork and EVA handle
• Two piece rods break from above handle - preserving 1 piece action

Tournament-tough quality and superb dependability, the Shimano Curado 300 Casting Reel is for anglers who aren’t just chasing fish but those targeting quality over quantity. Incorporating a deep 300-size spool intended for heavy-pound line and the needed capacity for extra-long casts, the Curado 300 features a long handle with wide-grip knobs to provide anglers with the extra power that’s necessary when pulling on big fish.

At the backbone of the Shimano Curado 300 lies its rigid HAGANE Body that prevents flex when that giant finally decides to commit. Available in two gear-ratio options — a standard 4.7:1 and an HG 6.6:1 — the Curado 300 allows anglers to find the right reel to match their fishing style and needs. Engineered with power in mind, the standard 4.7:1 model pulls double-duty for anglers fishing slower, methodical presentations, or when fishing with Alabama rigs or magnum crank baits.

The HG’s 6.6:1 gear ratio provides a slightly faster retrieve and is ideal for anglers aggressively working baits or for quickly picking up topwater slack. Built to fish big baits for big fish, Shimano created the Curado 300 to perform and never back down.

Features:

The Daiwa Saltiga SW Travel Rods have a Slim Profile with a Strong Backbone for many hard-fighting tropical species. Multi-piece travel rods that can hang with better fish are rare. The innovative V-Joints connect the rod pieces with a flexing joint that avoids flat spots in the bend. This feature cannot be found in any other rods. With both Conventional and Spinning Models, there is a travel rod to suit your needs.

The blanks are finely wrapped with Fuji Tangle Free K Guides with tough, FazLite Rings, both components built for travel. A Compact Travel Case protects the rods from the bumps in the road. A Limited Lifetime Warranty stands behind the quality of materials and construction. If you are in the market for that rare travel rod that can take bigger salt water fish, look no further than the Daiwa Saltiga SW Travel Rods, quality in a case.

Specifications:

The Shimano Curado BFS (Bait Finesse System) expands the Curado lineup of low-profile reels while redefining finesse fishing for tournament anglers. Inspired by the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), the Shimano Curado BFS baitcaster utilizes an ultra-lightweight shallow spool designed for thinner diameter lines to allow anglers to cast lightweight lures more effectively than traditional low-profile models.

The Curado BFS incorporates Shimano's Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system to reduce the spool's weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palming side-plate. The result: the spool takes minimal force to turn and allows anglers to effectively cast lightweight tackle.

Unlike traditional magnetic brake systems that maintain the same drag on the spool throughout the cast, Shimano's FTB capitalizes on the cast's centrifugal force and the magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool only when braking is needed. Fully adjustable, anglers can fine-tune the FTB with the external dial or by adding or removing individual magnets as needed. The perfect antidote for picky fish, the Shimano Curado BFS is the ideal tool for anglers to downsize baits to increase their success on the water.

The Daiwa Saltiga Jigging Rods are state-of-the-art custom rod designed for the many, highly effective Saltwater Jigging Techniques. The HVF Nanoplus Carbon Technology reinforces the blank through a micro-level arrangement of material in the plastic resin. This creates a smaller, lighter, more rigid blank.

The blank is powerful with impressive fish-stopping power despite the size. The X-45 Bias Construction provides greater strength and prevents twisting and ovalization upon bending. The innovative 3DX Carbon Fiber Material is an interwoven three-dimensional carbon fiber that is wrapped around the blank in manufacturing much like a skeleton.

This reinforcement with the 3DX hexagon shaped fibers enhances the compression, improves the flex strength and makes the blank action much faster. The Custom Dimple EVA Handle provides a sure, slip proof, grip especially important when jigging.

The Fuji Tangle Free Guides let the jigs drop with the minimum of resistance. Despite a reduced profile, the guides are strong and long wearing. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is evidenced by a 5-Year Limited Warranty.

If dropping a jig is your game, you better come with the best. Try Daiwa’s SALTIGA JIGGING rod, the much-anticipated addition to the flagship Saltiga line of saltwater fishing tackle.

Models:
