Just wanted to say thanks and tell your company how impressed I am with your Black Steel line. I have caught many fish in my life and I have a large selection of seeker rods of which 12 are black steel. On wen 5-17 solo on my boat, The "FIN"ATIC a 29' Wellcraft CCF I hooked and landed a 442# Threshar shark off La jolla canyon. She died after a 2.5 hour fight and I had to drag her from 300' tail first. This rod by all means should have broke! The noises it was making and the pressure it endured for that amount of time is in my mind amazing. I am going to retire this rod and display it proudly with a picture and plaque I am having made. Thank you agian, and you can bet I will replace it with another Seeker Rod. Sincerly ROSS PURNICK

Seeker Rods,
I have just returned from my 1st long range trip (10 day) aboard the Royal
Polaris. Using a Seeker rod, I won the jackpot with a 200lb yellow fin tuna. The
reel was a Penn 50W with 80lb blue Izorline and a 5/0 Mutu hook. The beast ate a
2lb mackerel and took about an hour to subdue. I'm astonished how much
punishment that rod with stood through the battle.
Below is a picture you may use for promotion. I'm hoping you might consider
sending me new rod in return so I might advertise it with my next trophy.
:-)
Feel free to contact me with questions or if I missed any details.
sincerely,Chuck Nowicki

Monster shark shatters record
After a three-hour fight and a 14-hour ordeal to find a certified scale, Jeff Shindle, of San Antonio, was finally able to have his picture taken with his record-breaking catch. The winter season finds Jeff and his fishing buddies, Capt. Ben Reyna and Barry Reyna, owners of the 26-foot Glacier Bay catamaran reel smooth, targeting big shark. This year, because of increased fishing pressure in the Port Aransas area, the Reyna brothers decided to run the boat out of Port Mansfield. Click here for full story and pictures.
Skipper Brian Kiyohara was first to gaff Dave Fusco’s giant
yellowfin. Skipper Sam Patella weighed it at 302 pounds on the certified scales,
the season’s first to go over the mark.
Fusco, a finish carpenter from San Pedro who expects a son with his wife this
April, said he fished a mackerel on an 8/0 hook, with 80-pound clear and
130-pound Spectra backing on a 50SW reel and a Seeker 6455 XXH rod.
