    Costco Stocks a Nice Spinning Combo Kit for Beginning Anglers

    This Abu Garcia fishing combo has pretty much everything a beginning angler needs.Here is a great solution if those thinking about getting into fishing in Taiwan, but don't know where to start with regard to basic gear. Let’s face it; wandering into your local neighborhood tackle shop can be a little intimidating. Every year about this time, Costco stocks some kind of all-in-one fishing kit. That’s where I picked up my first rod and reel in Taiwan, built up my tackle collection from from there.

    This year they are offering one of their better setups yet. It a kit by the folks at Pure Fishing, and includes an Abu Garcia 6’-6” medium-heavy action spinning rod, Pflueger Trion GX-7 spinning reel, a spool of Spiderwire 10-pound Spiderwire EZ mono line and a small tackle box packed with a variety of spoons and spinner lures. The whole package is selling for NT$1,999The Pflueger Trion GX-7 reel gets a five-out-of-five-star customer rating from Bass Pro Shops.

    This is really one of the better fishing combos that Costco has offered for tackling a variety of fish. Past combos have either been too light or too heavy to be useful to most beginning anglers. This one hits a nice sweet spot in the middle. It’s probably best suited for bass, predatory carp species, juvenile tarpon, snakeheads and barramundi.

    Kaohsiung artisan crafts golden bamboo fishing rods

    A restaurant operator in Kaohsiung surnamed Chang has used rare golden bamboo to make highly artistic fishing rods prized by aficionados.

    Chang explained that golden bamboo is a mutation of Makino bamboo that occurs less than once out of every 10,000 plants, and only one in 1,000 of the golden bamboo is really top quality. The appearance of each golden bamboo is unique, and cannot be re-created artificially. In the past all such bamboo was exported to Japan.
