5.0 out of 5 stars Love it

Got this item for $20 and love it. It holds 8 rods and reels firmly and looks good and is sturdy. Being plastic it will not wear like wood.You can rinse all the reels in the rack and not worry about it. I highly recommended it.

Adequate, but small... and comes disassembled. Worth the $ but no steal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Check it Out

As someone who worked in the Alaska commerical fisheries for years, and on crab boats in the Bering Sea out of Dutch Harbor during the early 90s, I really appreciate this series which has given this worthy, but dangerous, occupation the notoriety it deserves. This was the hardest, most dangerous work I ever did, inclusive of my period of military service, in which several of my friends lost their lives; it is an occupation that all who have participated in can have great pride in. One point needs to be made, however, which is that conditions are a little safer than they were before with the advent of the quota system which lets boats choose their weather some (although I think the TV producers may be goading fishers to push the limit more than they otherwise would). Previously it was a free for fall that started on January 15th. A good book to read in conjunction with viewing this series is Spike Walker's "Working on the Edge."

5.0 out of 5 stars Man and the sea

Those of us who have had family members work on the seas will appreciate this real life show better than others. It is not just the excitement of the risks involved, the dangerous weather conditions, or the roughness of the jobs you see on deck, it's much more. You get to watch real people whose worries and hopes you identify with, and you get to love them by learning to respect them in their sacrifices. In Spain there's a vast retired population that watches others work at construction sites and admires how things get done without their help. This maybe a type of voyeurism, but is something like what I felt while watching this series, without the loss of sleep or the sea-sickness. It is awe-inspiring and humbling to watch these men put their lives on the line for the sakes of their families and loved ones.

There is the added interest of a competition taking place among many ships to see who gets the biggest share, a race against time and the natural elements, a psychological study of leadership and gregariousness, and finally it is an ode to the sea, its beauty and ruthless power, with stories of lost lives, sunk ships, faith and superstitions, love and friendship, hardship and memories. The few chapters I saw on tv were captivating, but now that I saw them on dvd I realized there is much more, there are stories of people, and you want to see how they will make it in the next chapter, what choices -if good or bad- they will make. The cynic may think it's just all about money (so the thief thinks everybody is like him) and that these people are not different from anybody else. The gambler doesn't risk his life, he risks his family wealth. These men risk their lives for the welfare of their families.

One cannot but respect every single one of these men. May God bless them, and may their faith grow as their works, for: "Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe and tremble!" (James 2:17-19) How sad it would be to have toiled so much and lose it all for the lack of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and even more being fishermen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch this before going to work in Alaska

This is a must see DVD set, especially for thos that are considering going to work in Alaska on a commercial fishing vessel. I worked on such vessels for almost 3 years in Alaska, and yes it is truly like how this movie shows it is. Glad to see that TDC was able to get this live and on DVD. Not for the fainthearted.

After about twenty years since getting my first tackle box when I was a kid, I decided it was time for an upgrade. After looking around, I settled on the Plano 1363. The decision all came down to versatility.
I do a lot of different freshwater fishing (bass, walleye, panfish, etc.) and a lot of the other Plano tackle boxes out there seemed to have room for my small lures or my big lures, but not both. The 1363, with two larger and one smaller removable drawer, allows me to store all of my fishing stuff in an organized manner.
The only improvement I made to the box was add a small storage box to the top compartment. I keep my ice fishing tackle in the small box to avoid hauling the whole thing around when all I need is a few things.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and Sweet

One might think that there would be a spectrum of introductory fishing books running from lengthy books dense with information to shorter books with less information but still reasonably useful. I have not found that to be the case until now. This is a short and sweet introduction to fishing that still somehow manages to be well rounded. The book covers, probably as painlessly as is possible, almost all the topics one needs to know something about in order to experience some fun and success as a fisherman. I think that says a lot for the book.

The tone of the book is what one might describe as jovial, but I was not laughing at any time while reading this book. Many fishing books have a special area where they excel; for this book, it is the topic of fishing vests. I appreciated that because often it is the small logistical matters that don't get discussed in fishing
