All of the Manufacturers products used for training purposes in the Inshore Fishing Academy™ classes are products that Capt. Jim Ross uses almost every day he fishes.

The average angler fishes twice a month, or if you're really lucky, four times a month. Now, multiply that by 12 months. In a "perfect" world this gives those “lucky” enough about 48 days of fishing each year.

Capt. Jim fishes over 220 days a year. Divide that by 48 and he fishes an equivalent of what you would fish (under optimal conditions) in a little over 4 1/2 years. “Like myself, my clients and students successes depend on using effective techniques, tantalizing lures, and reliable equipment to get the job done. Real world testing in real world fishing situations, under five times more use/abuse than what is considered normal is about as good a testimonial for my sponsors’ products as you'll find.”  I want to share this information with you at my Inshore Fishing Academy™ classes so you don't have to waste your own time searching for what works. This will allow you to get the most enjoyment out of your time on the water.

Capt. Jim's relationship with his sponsors has grown to the point that he is often included as a consultant to help develop and evaluate new products for the market place.  The Indian River Series of high performance light tackle rods built by Lamiglas are a perfect example of this type of relationship. Jim’s design input on this project has helped develop a premier American made rod series that is truly effective at helping anglers hook and land more fish. See the entire selection of Indian River Series spinning and bait casting rods at www.lamiglas.com.

Some of the items that Capt. Jim will recommend may cost a little more than what some of you may be accustomed to paying, but remember this-you get what you pay for.  You can rest assured these products will perform for you time and time again.
