KastKing Corrosion Resistance High Strength LMA200 10+1 BB 6.3:1 Aluminum Spool Baitcasting Fishing Reel For Anglers

  • 10+1 High Quality Ball Bearings and quick and easy removable side cover and spool, makes maintenance and cleaning simple and covenant
  • Two-toned CNC Machined Aluminum Spool that offers maximum strength with less weight and an ultra-smooth Guide Bar System gives the line a smooth and even lay
  • The ceramic insert line guide means no line damage on any line type: Braid, monofilament, or fluorocarbon
  • Reliable Magnetic Braking System with a convenient external adjustable multi-level cast control, allowing for smooth and accurate casts without having to remove the side cover
  • Light weight and low profile design that fits comfortably in your hand, reduces fatigue allowing the angler to keep fishing all day long
we checked out this reel today. I put it on my ugly stick pole and it fit perfectly. I only had 6 lb monofilament line, which I used with a little fishing lure. It was an easy set up and the reel works smoothly. The problem I had was it was windy, I did not have enough weight on the line and I cast the line wrong. I got a horrible birds nest and it took me five minutes to fix it. The good thing was after I fished it, the reel still worked perfectly and smoothly. I would use this reel for freshwater. It's small and perfect for my eleven year old son. I will change the line to something easier to cast and put a lure and sinker that would make it easier for him to cast. This is a great learning reel that is even good for your avid fisherman. The only line I had just didn't work on a hot, windy, Florida day.

We had the chance to try out this saltwater travel spinning fishing rod. It is easy to set up and easy to break down again. Make sure you spray all the salt water off it because there is some medal that the sea would love to eat away. I put my larger reel on this fishing pole and the set up was quick and easy. Because this pole is so large, it took me a little bit of time to cast it correctly, but I learned in minutes. We made videos for YouTube and Amazon. I have a lake in my backyard and it was fun practice casting. I had a blast. The pole is large, but it is very easy to break it down all the way or part way. This will be a convenient way to go to the ocean to fish, even though I just have a Honda Fit to drive it in. Even though this pole is easy to break down and put back together, it is very strong. Look forward to bringing in some big fish in 2016. Merry Christmas, this would make a good present for any occasion.

Fisherman MadBite Multi Function Stainless Steel Fishing Plier Scissors Braid Cutters Review

  • Durable stainless steel body
  • Ultra-sharp blades
  • Easy to carry
  • Comes with a line pick, cutting knife and lure tuning tool
ok, so I used these fishing line cutters three times today. They are easy to use. They actually remind me of nail clippers for fishing line. I also learned to make sure your finger is away from the hook when you use them. I got poked a couple of times, but the cutters worked perfectly. They are very small, but big enough for the guy like me with big hands. Easy to learn how to use. You just clip the line. We had thin line and thick line. Obviously the thin line was easier to cut. This handy little tool will be going with me every time I go fishing now. You can even hook it into your key chain if you want. Great present for any occasion. I like these cutters so much, that you will see them in all the YouTube videos I make when I have to cut fishing line.
You can also order them here on Amazon for that guy that has everything, but this handy little tool.

The Natural Test Against Anxiety

I worked overnight at Amazon for 9 weeks. By the end, we were working eleven hour nights five days a week. I did well as far as the work, but my body did not connect to the overnight shift so well. I would up in the hospital and the Dr. gave me a prescription for Zoloft. I didn't want to try this drug and rely on it, so I decided to give the natural way a try. This is what I will try and I will let you know if it works.

What I Will Take
Vitamin B Complex
Bananas
St. John's Wort
Lemon Grass Tea
Magnesium
Melatonin
plenty of water
daily walking in the morning for exercise and other types of exercise

What I Will Give Up
Alcohol-I don't drink much and will once in awhile taste a beer, but no more rum or wine to put me to sleep at night
Caffeine-love coffee, but it will have to go
energy drinks in exchange for vitamin B Complex

I will try this way against the anxiety I gained from the night shift and let you know how it works. Hopefully I get things turned around soon.

Three Ways To Get Your Small Business Off The Ground

These days, many small business owners are ready to make their entrepreneurial vision of success a reality. If you run a budding business and want to ensure that the company becomes profoundly successful, know that there are numerous techniques you can use to make it happen. Here are three of them: 

1. Invest In Presentation Optimization Services.

One of the best ways to get your small business growing is by investing in presentation optimization services. When you give an absolutely incredible presentation, you build the value of your brand, impress audiences, boost sales, and improve your sphere of influence. For this reason, it's important that your presentations be optimized for factors like aesthetic appeal, efficacy, and relevance to contemporary audiences. You can put this optimization process in motion by hiring a team of Powerpoint specialists to work on your behalf. Industry professionals such as those at eSlide are highly skilled in providing cutting edge, customized services.

2. Enhance Your Marketing Campaign.

In addition to investing in presentation optimization services, make sure that you enhance your marketing campaign. Marketing is important at all times, but it is especially imperative when you start a new business and are attempting to build a base of loyal clients. Growth hacking is a wonderful marketing mechanism for small business owners to use because it is cost-effective. Through internet advertising measures such as social media optimization and content marketing, you can connect and convert your audience in a manner that helps you enhance conversion and build your brand. 

3. Network (All The Time!)

Although almost every business owner recognizes the power and importance of networking, there are still many leaders who fail to engage in the enterprise on a regular basis. Don't commit this oversight. Instead, get in the habit of regularly attending both informal and formal events that enable you to connect with the individuals who will eventually become your business partners or loyal clients. Some of the networking events you should consider attending include weddings, lectures, conferences, baby showers, block parties, and career fairs. 

Don't Delay-Get Your Small Business Growing Today 

If you just started a business and are ready to watch it grow and flourish, it's time to begin implementing success principles and procedures that will help you realize the vision. To get started, you should consider the value of investing in presentation optimization services, enhancing your marketing platform, and networking regularly!

I received this product free, the review and opinions about the product are my own.

Information from Amazon about the product


  • Children's tablet combines the best of both learning worlds; features an ever-expanding library of over 650 educator-supported learning cartridges and educational Android apps
  • Kids tablet has an adaptable design with a tough, kid-friendly cover that can be removed for a more grown-up feel; ever-expanding selection of hand-picked Android learning apps that are perfect for kids of all ages

  • Electronic learning toy features a 180 degree rotating camera and video recorder; 8 GN of memory included the tablet can play MP3 and MP4 files

I received this product for free, the review and opinions are my own. Now my kids love electronics. When my daughter saw this product come in, she opened it and set it up herself. she is nine and decided she liked the VTech InnoTab Max immediately. She was happy about the free app and unhappy that you have to pay for a bunch of other apps. My daughter knows she has to go through her mother to get apps and loves to get them free herself. It didn't take Khloe long to get past this fact and find out she can do her I-Ready homework right through this tablet. The tablet is colorful, fun and sturdy. I can see that this tab may be a little cheaply made for a smaller child. For my daughter, it is perfect because she has gone through the breaking stage and is ready to take care of things. My daughter said she will give this tab  to her cousin when and if she finally gets bored with it. Then we will find out how well it holds up to a smaller/rougher child. I think it may be suited for the older end child than a much younger child because I know my daughter would have destroyed this if she was three years old.

New Body Armor Provides an Alternative for Civilians and Police Alike

Many people today are looking to protect themselves by carrying a firearm. While those people may be justified in their fear and in their desire to be protected, there are other options that might work for them. Specifically, a number of different companies are coming up with point blank body armor that is better than ever. In the past, this sort of gear was available only to people in the military and those in the police force. This is slowly but surely changing. Today's armor provides the protection that people want and can even be an alternative to carrying a weapon. 

What makes new body armor better than its been in the past? One reason is the high level of protection that new material provides. New body armor is made in such a way that it can withstand far more force than ever in the past. For instance, it can withstand bullets flying from more powerful weapons and bullets fired at close range. This certainly beats the armor of the past, which has never been reliable for people who wanted to protect themselves from truly high-powered weapons. 

In addition, the new body armor is much lighter than stuff in the past. In the past, people wearing armor would run into problems because of just how heavy it was. They couldn't wear it for long, and if they had to travel any distance, it would become an impediment. However, the new stuff is made with material that's extremely light. Police have long been able to access this sort of gear. It's only recently become more readily available for the everyday person. 

The person who wants to protect himself has a few options in today's world. He can certainly choose to carry a weapon. He can also choose to defend himself with great body armor that can protect him in case the gun doesn't do the trick. Police and military members have known for years that body armor is a necessary force when one might be facing gun fire. It's now time for the average citizen to recognize that having body armor can be perhaps a better defense against a gun crime than having a gun of one's own.

MadBite Fish Scales Various Multi-Purpose Digital and Mechanical Hanging Fish Scales With or Without Tape Measure Review

So everybody knows, this is how my reviews work. I will copy information about the product from Amazon, so you get the information from the companies own mouth about the product I will add a picture, then I will give you an opinion about the product in my own words. I think it is important to have the information from the company and an unbiased opinion, so you know the most about each particular product.


  • This Scale with measuring tape weighs fish to 55 Lbs. .
  • It's large easy to read dial and drop down tape measure allows you to measure fish to 38 "/100cm.
  • Easily stowed away in your tackle box, or hung on your boat by the attached sturdy ergonomic handle the KastKing scale and tape measure is an affordable way of backing up your fish stories.
  • The rear calibration knob allows you to set the weight at zero before each use. Simple sturdy construction allows for years of use.
  • Similar to scales offered by Berkley , Eagle Claw and Mustad but at a much more affordable cost.
PICTURE COMING SOON!!!

The scale actually comes with the two triple A batteries that makes it work. I like the tape measure because you can see how long and how much your fish weighs. It's water resistant and works great. This is a must tool to bring with you, especially if you are with a friend and your competing to see who actually catches the biggest and heaviest fish. This one measures up to 55 pounds which is perfect to your average fisherman like me and my friends. Look forward to the cooler weather and catching more fish and using this scale much more.

MadBite Multi Function Stainless Steel Fishing Pliers Scissors Braid Cutters Hook Removers Fishing Line Cutters Review

So everybody knows, this is how my reviews work. I will copy information about the product from Amazon, so you get the information from the companies own mouth about the product I will add a picture, then I will give you an opinion about the product in my own words. I think it is important to have the information from the company and an unbiased opinion, so you know the most about each particular product.

  • Pocket size Lightweight and easy to carry or store scissors fishing line cutter
  • Easy to clean ABS construction with stainless steel micro serrated blade
  • Easily cuts through monofilament, copolymer, fluorocarbon even smaller diameter braided fishing line
  • Corrosion resistant stainless steel fold away blade and lightweight durable ABS handle
  • Retractable lanyard included to attach to clothing or fishing vest.


I'm always in need of a pair of scissors when fishing. You'd be amazed how many times your line gets stuck and you need to cut it off, so you can get back to the more important thing you came there for, fishing. These are tiny enough to fit in your pocket or in your tackle box. They are stainless steel and makes it likely they won't rust. In Florida I use a strong plastic tackle box because of all the salt water. I found that I kept these in my pocket the entire time I was fishing. They cut easily and were likely the most handy thing I had with me the last time I went fishing. This is a reasonable price for a useful tool. One tip, don't give them to a friend to use or you may not get them back until you ask for them. I haven't decided if I like the thing you can hook to your clothes or not yet. I still just keep it in my pocket for the convenience.
