Truth Reels
« on: January 28, 2016, 09:00:10 PM »
We might have something custom made for the West Coast Surf Shark Angler.... You guys might be finding a new Reel company custom tailored to our style of fishing just for Prehistoric Souls like yourself. 

It's in it's infancy stage, but keep checking back.  This may be exciting news for us long rod guys out here.

Just an FYI, truth reels has actually been around for a few years already. Very impressive looking reels. They used to be called Release reels until they got into trouble from another company called release. Supposedly instead of fighting for the right to use the name, they changed the name of the company. They are a bit pricey for me, but definitely look and sound well built. Supposed to cast very smooth as well.

Thanks boss.  I've seen them for the striper guys back east, but knew nothing about them besides what I would occasionally see.  I was talking to a rep and there was expressed interest in them possibly working with us.  I didn't realize until after I talked to him that Charkbait was selling the reels.  It was something that came up suddenly so I didn't know the background of them.  I got pretty stoked after the conversation, so hopefully it turns into something positive.

Got to call one of the guys in NYC tonight.  It sounds like it's to get ideas from each other to see if there is any plausible avenues that can mutually benefit themselves as well as Prehistoric Soul.
 
I'm very optimistic.

Very cool conversation and Truth possibly will be sold on P-Soul at a discounted price. 
It was a fun and lengthy conversation with a knowledgeable guy!
We might also have some big game hunters from the North East coming on board here.  Most guys are checking it out without registering, but I think they are liking the feel of the site and will be on board.  Mike said that they have nothing to post until it warms up out there as they all have cabin fever from that last snow storm!  lol
