Who says we can’t use bass hooks in the surf?

Rules are suggestions when the gear delivers. This is the beauty of Maruto. Precision, strength, and hook patterns that cross boundaries without blinking. From freshwater finesse to salty surf missions, the proof is in the pudding… and it’s bent steel and solid hookups.

If it sets clean and holds fast, it belongs in your tackle box.
Maruto doesn’t care where you fish. It just gets it done.

The classic Daiwa BG: still holding the line

Some gear grows old. The Daiwa BG grows legendary. This reel has survived more salt, spray, sun, and stubborn fish than some of us care to admit. Its metal body feels like it was carved from a small moon, the drag is steady as a lighthouse keeper, and the internals run with that quiet confidence only time can teach.

If you’ve ever fished one, you know it doesn’t fuss. It just works. Year after year. Trip after trip. Hook-up after hook-up.

Whether you’re casting from the bricks, drifting estuaries, or heading offshore, the BG remains that dependable companion that never calls in sick.

Old school? Sure. Outdated? Not a chance.
