Sabikis usually break when you wrap them around a stringer and yank as hard as you can.

No more sabikis for you jim... you ungrateful bastard!

I'd love to give a review of the Sabiki 500 but I wasn't fortunate to receive one......

Hopefully I'll get to try the new 600 when it comes out in the early spring of 2016.

Heard mixed reviews on the new 2016 600. It will get about 15% more miles before you have to re-charge it. However, it takes just under 16 seconds to go from 0 to 60. Plus side for you is that it will come in hot pink.

Thank you Jim for your honest and thorough analysis of this product. Last night I sent a team of private investigators to review the security video that was recorded while your gift package was produced. Unfortunately that video has revealed some very disturbing information. During the production of your special stringer - there was a whole lot of laughing going on by Tony and Jorge. A special box of flimsy hooks, 2 lb test trout line and inferior knots were used in the production of your 500 rig. While the main line was original 20 lb test - it was 2X the length of all other 500 rigs produced to increase tangling and all but 2 of the shrimp were rigged to be defective. I know this information is probably very disturbing but I just wanted to let you know so you could take the appropriate action - if you know what I mean!

Mr. Park
Send me a dozen Sabiki 500's and I guarantee straight A rating on everyone of them.

Well...I've received enough disturbing PM's in both English and of a different language that I am impelled to respond. I have attached one of the more disturbing responses hoping someone can translate please.

Here's my statement:
My family...means a very, very lot to me
I do not have any information that proves revenues generated from the sales of the Sabiki 500 are being funneled into the PRK...
Jorge suggests if you buy this product, use your PayPal account
I have no knowledge of the Monterey Bay Aquarium having ties with the PRK
HarryH is grossly mistaken...Koreans give nothing away for free

This comment was not force or coerced in any way.

Jim

If you read to line 17 of the other language it says, and I quote " Helly Hill, velly good man"

It sure wasnt a very expansive rollout. Id think the fine Sabiki [TM] people would feature some somewhat adept fishermen as field trials rather than the toss it to a gorilla and see if he can break it, approach.

Last evening, Nov 07, 2015 a bright light was seen on most of the western US over the pacific ocean. I have it on conditions of anonymity that it was actually the Koreans firing a nuclear warhead over La Jolla to protest what I said about Bass Pro giving away the venerable Sabiki 500. Unfortunately the missile had an Ascend FS12T kayak on board and it was so heavy and unwieldy and impossible to maneuver that the rocket failed to reach altitude and being a failure the Obama administration took immediate credit for launching a test missile from a nuclear submarine. Therefore I apologize to our friends in North Korea who try to hard to manufacture a quality product. Now I have to eat a quart of kimchi in penance.
