I had the privilege to meet Yamamoto pro and Classic winner Takahiro Omori this past weekend at a Bass Pro Shops in Georgia. Takahiro was very courteous to my family and I. Takahiro was shopping just like everyone else, and he was nice enough to go way out of his way to make my family's day. Takahiro went out of his way (back to his Yamamoto mobile home) to get a marker to sign his autograph for us and to give me a few packs of Senko's and new Fat Baby Craws that I will put to good use. He could not have been any nicer to us. He represents Yamamoto products well. Thank you for having him on board. Let Takahiro know that we really appreciate what he did for us - and to forgive me for fumbling with my words, as I was star struck to meet him like that!" - Derek Snider from Locust Grove, GA __________________________________________________ CHARLES STUART AT BASS PRO SHOPS IN CANADA Charles Stuart, Team Yamamoto member from Ontario, will be at the Bass Pro Shops in Canada on March 19 & 20. Charles will represent Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits, G.Loomis and Gamakatsu on the bass tank and will be offering one-on-one tackle tips and advice to the general public. Says Charles, "As you may know, G.Loomis now have a specific rod designed for the Senko which, along with the Senko, Kut Tail and Yamamoto grubs will be the core of my presentation." __________________________________________________ FOUR NEW YAMAMOTO HYPALON HANDLE FISHING RODS You may have seen our new Hypalon handle fishing rods in our 2005 catalog - but were not able to buy them yet.... UNTIL NOW! They are in stock! See our two new MOD II and MOD III spinning rods here: http://yamamoto.baits.com/cgi-bin/order/22-SP See our two new MOD II and MOD III baitcasting rods here: http://yamamoto.baits.com/cgi-bin/order/22-BC These Hypalon grip rods are designed by Gary Yamamoto to withstand demanding use with Yamamoto products. The rubber Hypalon grip is distinctively stylish. Not to be confused with EVA typically seen on less expensive rods, Hypalon is most commonly used on high quality saltwater rods for its durability and wet grip strength, which is superior to cork. Made with a high modulus graphite blank and plenty of Fuji SiC guides, these Yamamoto rods give you great balance and blend of power, sensitivity and casting ability. __________________________________________________ MARC MARCANTONIO LANDS LINE CLASS WORLD RECORD WALLEYE This letter just arrived from Marc Marcantonio, Team Yamamoto member from Washington. See a photo of Marc's new World Record Line Class walleye: http://www.insideline.net/ez-forum/ez-forum.pl?read=29621 Says Marc, "I received great news today that the IGFA has now certified my Columbia River Walleye as the official WORLD RECORD for the 6lb-test line class! My record weighed 13.75 pounds. This beats the previous 6 lb line class world record of 12 pounds caught in 1995. The walleye was caught in Washington state's Columbia River in the Lake Wallula section at TriCities during a Northwest Bass Tournament on September 25, 2005. The walleye was caught while vertically dropshotting the edge of the main river channel in 27 feet of water. It was caught using the following tackle: -Lamiglas Titanium TBS663 spinning rod -Shimano Stradic 2500MG reel -Gary Yamamoto Sugoi 6-pound test fluorocarbon line -Gamakatsu #4 Dropshot Hook -3/8-ounce QuickDrop Dropshot Sinker -4" Clearwater Tackle Tapeworm (Sand #110) The fish was released alive at the same spot after weighing on certified scales, and taking measurements and photos." - Marc Marcantonio Team Yamamoto member from Washington See a photo of Marc's new World Record Line Class walleye: http://www.insideline.net/ez-forum/ez-forum.pl?read=29621 __________________________________________________
