[Flatdog]

Kilsong San you are the master.

Remember your international clients on your web, as many will come from all over the world.
Good luck, and may you earn enough for a long and graceful retirement

Kil,

Good luck, Kilsong!

I think your idea is awesome

Thanks guys for your support. Fortunately(?) tuna fishing slowed down so that I can concentrate on preparing for opening my shop. But I got to hurry to finish them as tuna chunking just started at canyons. It means tuna jigging time at canyons is finally around the corner.

I didn't know there are so much things to do even I open a small shop.

Wow a shop only for Jigs. Cannot wait to see it.

I will be glad to support you and your shop. I think it is great for a guy with so much experience to offer quality products and advice instead of the hundreds who only pound their products and every post on all of the forums for the money grab that have little experience and product testing. I am sure you will do very well. When the time comes I will be sending the masses your way. You are welcome aboard the Contender anytime. Good luck.

Capt George, thanks for your support.
This shop is a mere extention of what I have been doing. Finding jigging and popping stuffs, testing them and introducing them if I like.
I found a few excellent and quality blanks for jigging and popping. But it will take for several months or a year to have them on my shop's products list as I want to test them intensively to know the rods/blanks are as good as I expect.
I choose Jigging Master because I carefully followed the reputations of JM thoughout the world and I tested the rods myself. When I deal with jigging and popping suppliers, I always check who they are and whether they have enough knowledge to evaluate their products. JM are designed by extremely hardcore jig fishermen and every Power Spell rods/blanks are tested and examined individually by them before sending.
OTI products are same. I fished with TJ, who is an excellent offshore fisherman himself and became friend with him for years before he decided to produce OTI products.
TJ sent me prototype OTI jigging and popping rods/blanks for couple of years and I tested them intensively and extensively, sometime by sticking on purpose, I decided to carry OTI, not because TJ is my friend, though what kind of person TJ is and what kind of fisherman TS is one of major factors, but because I was pleased with the performance of OTI rods with an exception of one or two models which I suggested some recommendations to TJ.
I am very fortunate surrounded with very good fishermen for various kinds of game fish from tuna to fluke and have opportunities to observe stuffs they use, it is a huge plus for me to evaluate any jigging and popping products.
I arranged a fluke charter on one of the Frances Fleet, Pt Judith, RI yesterday and I could observe what they used and how it worked by 15 exellent fluke fishermen. Every imaginable fluke rigs you think were used by them.

Kilsong,
I think you had said that September was going to be the month that you were targeting to have some things up and running- how is the store/website coming along?
