    Sebile Soft Weight System

    Author: Brad Wiegmann

    Why did I not think of that?  That is what you will be thinking after taking a look at the new Sebile Soft Weight System.  The ways an angler can use these weights are unlimited.  Do you want to change a slow sinking bait to fall faster, tail down, or nose first?  It is easy to do with the Soft Weight System.  It can be used on a hard bait, soft bait, or even live bait.  “It works better than a weighted hook; a weighted hook can only work one way while the Soft Weight System can be added or taken away to adjust the fall,” explained Patrick Sebile international lure-maker and designer.

    There are a few things anglers know not to neglect or it will come back and bite them in the butt.  Number one is their wives.  You do not forget their birthdays or your wedding anniversary if you ever want to put that boat out on the lake again.  Number two is their truck.  It’s simply; you got to have the truck running to get the boat in the lake.  Number three is the house.  While some anglers invest more money in their truck than their house, anglers will work or repair their house all week just so they can have the weekend free to go fishing with their buddies.  Number four is their boat engine.  Boat engines can be temperamental at best, so anglers pay close attention for strange noises and take it to the shop at the slightest indication of problems.  Even though anglers would never neglect their wives, trucks, houses, or their boat engine, it not uncommon for anglers to abuse and ignore their fishing reels.  The majority of these neglected reels will literately fall apart with no regular maintenance and care.  Reel maintenance and care can be done at home or reels can be taken to a reel repair shop.

    Professional angler Fred Contaoi with Carrot Stix and swimbait

    It seemed a little strange to be talking with professional bass angler Fred Contaoi from Clear Lake, California, about something small.  Everything else in Contaoi’s life is big.  The lures he fishes with, the bass he catches, even his smile are all gigantic.  The towering Contaoi seemed somewhat out of place holding on to the new E21 Carrot Stix with micro guides.  Of course, Contaoi was all smiles hold up a big, fat Table Rock spotted bass that had just eaten his soft swimbait.  The key to catching bass that bass was making a long cast and slowly reeling it back in.

    Rebrod: Major Rod Manufacture in Cozy Hometown of Flippin, Arkansas

    Rebrods Owner Ray Bauer

    I had to recheck my GPS unit one more time.  I wasn’t lost.  I had been to Flippin, Arkansas before and visited a renowned boat company.  This time I was going to visit a major rod manufacturing and blank making company.  As I drove through Flippin, I wondered how many of the residents knew that this cozy little town was well-known not just for the boat company, but a rod building and blank making company.  The reason why I had to recheck the GPS unit was the size of the building at the address.  I really thought it would be slightly smaller.  What I found inside the large building was a facility able to take raw graphite and turn it into high quality graphite blanks that could be used for all kinds of fishing rods including bait casting, spinning, and fly rods.  The history of Rebrods goes back to 1976 when Ray Bauer and his dad Clarence moved down to Flippin to start a rod manufacturing company.  When they started the work was all private label and contract rod manufacturing.  Today, Rebrods has the ability to build blanks to the required specifications for large rod manufactures to custom rod builders.
