Yesterday I celebrated a bit with a new reel and some jigs, hoochies and hooks. ;D
This is my 3rd Omoto conventional. I have the VS-12 two speed, the VS-10 single speed and my latest the Talos 10N - narrow spool jigging reel. All are lever drag models with robust engineering and seem to be quality innards. I opened and greased the first two and will peek under the hood of my new one soon. Got a spool of Daiwa's J-braid to go on it. 40#, 300 meters, multi-colored for measuring depth and spooled it on to one of my Abu 6500's; then cranked the drag down on it to then wind it up tight on to my Omoto Talos night and tight.
Wife and kids topped off the goodies with a dozen jigs from Jigging World, some squid hoochies and G-katsu hooks. Lucky me! ;D
And the goodies to go with it.
Steve, that's some nice hardware! Glad you clarified the "celebrated with hoochies" in the text lol
Very nice reels. I have a couple of Omoto's myself and they make a great jigging reel. Happy B-Day and the wife and kids did a great job with a dozen jigs!!

Yea, they treat me like a king.
The cake was Death by Peanut Butter and Chocolate...covered in Reese's Cups and Pieces. We had Chinese take out before the cake. I about died.
Thanks Yong and crew at Jigging World for the braid and jigs!

Yea....my wife made some comment about "hoochie goochies" when I unwrapped them. Squid skirts sounds weird, too. But I will be "dressing" my jigs with skirts so I suppose it fits.
Well Happy birthday! That cake is over the top!!!
Great photos... Cool "stuff".. and the Best gift is in the last photo. That one just Ooze's Love all over the place. Happy B-Day
Happy Birthday Steve-O!
lucky you.. that cake looks terrific

Happy Birthday Steve! Love that last pic.
Not long ago, I serviced one of those Talos for a friend, I was so impressed that I grabbed me one.
Mine is a 14N, same color as yours.
Great reels, very similar to the Triple.

After the sushi roll, a serving of lo mein, Gen Tsao chkn, Orange chkn, Thai basil, and steamed rice...I had a slice of the cake with choc. Ice cream.......almost croaked.
Had a slice of the cake for breakfast and went into sugar overload.
Reese's ARE my favorites. Now have 4 pounds extra to burn off. ::)
