Product Review: Sabiki 500...Friendships Aside - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I got my Sabiki 500s wayyyy late. I think I got the Sabiki 50s actually. Then, the package smelled a bit like kimchi mixed with pancake syrup - it was all sticky and gooey.

Next, I've only caught two pieces of bait with them. And the hooks....Oh my!! The hooks are as dull as watching Deamon hooping for stingrays and snails.

If anyone wants my Sabiki 500s, they can have them for free. They are just strung along my fence right now, drying my socks and other misc. laundry.

Sabiki 500s for catching bait = D
Sabiki 500s for hanging laundry = A+

It sounds like some fellas need some sabikis. I was at the 99 cent store (I'm on hard times right now) and they were throwing away pallets of this said "sabiki 500"...they said they were not selling and needed room for bruised bananas and expired kimchi. Just FYI guys, hope this helps.

I called Donald Trump on this. And he said, this is exactly the reason
why he wants to build a fence from the USA all the way to KOREA.

This post has some really great reads. The only thing is, it's shows how slow fishing is right now.

All I can catch on the damn thing is 2 or 3 2 or 3lb Bonito at a time. So, unless you are real interested in making Lobster bait, dont bother.

I called Donald Trump and asked him what Tony should do with his so called friends.

His response........

Well, here goes...lol.

Ned basically called me a Gorilla. All Sabiki's should be able to get ripped off of a kelp stringer in tact...no breakoffs...no bent hooks!

How much did you get per pound for that Seabass anyways Jim? Nothing shadier than selling sport caught seabass and lobster in back of Roby's Vietnamese fish market at 3 o'clock in the morning...

Seabass? What Seabass? There are no such fish being caught with any consistency in SoCal...

And if there were...I would NEVER stoop so low to sell such a quality fish that has earned all of my respect. Jim
