The following lists of company's make products that are second to none in my humble opinion. From the Eagle Claw hooks to the Fins Spectra Fiber Braided line, the Cape Fear Hexagonal shaped Rods, the Fin-Nor megalites and Ahab reels. The Eagle Claw brand has become my favorite saltwater hook manufacturer due to the hook sharpening process used on their hooks and the undeniable strength I've found in their live bait hooks.
Spectra Fiber Braid was first introduced to me on the Addictive Fishing Show with host Captain Blair Wiggins. Fins Spectra Fiber Braid has the strength, abrasion resistance, and small diameter versatility of the more expensive Kevlar braided lines, without the harmful effects of guide wear due to the spectra fiber. Cost is less than half of the original braided lines and durability is unquestioned compared to monofilament.
