Yamaga Blanks Early 78MLRF

This a rod I bought quite a bit ago. I didn't have the chance to wet the line with this amazing rod. Actually the quality and beauty of the blank is holding me from using it on some rocky shores. At the end it is a rod I got for fishing so it will definitely touch the salty water soon. Anyway, I plan to write my first impressions in a short time.
What rod is this? It a Japan made Yamaga Blanks Early 78MLRF seabass rod. See here for details.
By the way I got the rod here in case you want one for yourself.

Playing with PS Lightroom

I am becoming more and more addicted to photography and specifically shooting lures.
I also downloaded Photoshop Lightroom 4.0 and I started using it for retouching my shots. As a current user of PS Elements I can definitely say that Lightroom does indeed work marvels on the photos I shoot. The level of adjustments is great and I am still on the learning curve. Anyways, I spent this afternoon taking some photos. Here is the first result:

DUO Tetraworks Yurameki (click here for details) A fantastic sinking lipless minnow for ultralight applications.

Seaspin Coixedda 100

This is a shallow running lure that I enjoyed a lot. I tried only once and didn't catch anything yet but it casts a mile and the movement is very good. Many friends in Turkey and Italy have fooled seabass and bluefish on this one.
Today I took my camera for a brief photo session. This is the result.
You can check the lure on Seaspin's official page.

Rod Project: Waiting for the Fuji K Guides

Today I have ordered my Fuji K Guides from the famous Rod Building store Mudhole.
I ordered the Fuji KTAG and KLAG models. Alconite guides with stainless steel frame.
I think alconite guides are good enough for my fishing conditions.
I should get the guides in a couple of weeks.  Stay tuned.
