Exercise Blogs
A Fitness Instructors Choice #withDavida I was chatting with my eye doctor about fitness, giving tips and recommendations about how to fit in exercise and stay motivated. Then she posed the question "What would you do for exercise if you were not instructing all the time?" Wow! Good question. I had to think about it. I know I want to keep my heart healthy and I love being strong. Now, as I grow older I [Read More...]
Should You Cool Down? #withDavida My daughter's swim coach reminded me the importance of the cool down. After my 12 year old exerts her self in a 50-meter free style sprint her coach requires she get back in the pool and swim leisurely a few laps before she goes home. What does this do? Coach Sarah Ehekircher says it works out the lactic acid built up in the muscles and keeps the muscles from tightening [Read More...]
Squeeze Your Bandhas! #withDavida Engage your core and bandhas! You may hear this command from instructors or trainers. Why? What does it really mean? Squeeze your tummy? Tighten your butt? Well, partly. Your core includes way more than your abdominal and back muscles. It pretty much includes everything but muscles in your arms and legs as it acts as a stabilizer for your movements. By "engaging" these muscles you put your body in a solid [Read More...]
Finding Balance in Your Workout #withDavida I must admit I'm a cardio-holic. Once I found my groove in the gym I became dedicated to working hard. I prided myself on leaving it all on the gym floor and crawling away in a trail of sweat. If someone wanted to take a walk, I wanted to roller blade. When I was recovering from knee surgery I found water aerobics too slow and instead swam laps. Who [Read More...]
Dressing for Fitness Success #withDavida If there was a sun sign for raccoon, that would be me. I am giddy when I get shiny new items. Like a kid at Christmas, I can't wait to rip open the packaging and play, play, play! When my husband installed a heavy bag in my basement I couldn't wait to get down there and bring out my inner Charlie's Angel, punching and kicking the imagined villain until they [Read More...]
Find Balance for Better Health #withDavida One of the greatest times of my life was the college semester I spent studying in the south of France. As the daughter of a single mother working my way through school I never imagined I would have such an opportunity. I lived with a French family and purchased a used little pink bike with a wicker basket to cycle to school with the masses. I savored my experience [Read More...]

Solid & Deep: A new standard for Tai Rubber/Ichiku/Tenya
This current run has ended, but there are more recent runs for Major Craft Giant Killing. Click here to go to the most recent run.
Major Craft's first solid tip rod for the Tai Rubber technique. What's Tai Rubber you ask? Also called Tai-Kabura in Japan, it's a modification of the traditional fishing technique utilising jig heads to target snappers (tai) and also groupers. Using an extremely thin lines, anglers work a shaped jig head with skirts and small hooks on assist lines on a slow steady retrieve creates flutter and action that attracts the fish. As snappers peck and tease alot, this Giant Killing rod from Majorcraft makes it easy to feel shortbites with its solid tip, something that tubular rods cannot offer. Together with other features you'd come to expect from Majorcraft such as a perfect lightweight grip for easy under hand throw casting, Fuji K-series guides and cross force binding on the butt section, this is a premier model that gets the job done.
Retail Pricing: S$308
Grouphunt Pricing: S$199 (10 pieces or more)
This means if we hit 10 pieces of more total orders, everyone gets their rods at S$199!
Enjoy the easiness of the "Fall & Retrieve" Tai Rubber game. Highly recommended rod for the ladies as well - this rod is thin & light but there is still enough butt power due to the presence of Majorcraft's Cross Force technology. Easily target and hook up snappers easily!
The standard Tai Rubber rod you can use in various fields. The flexible and sensitive tip section makes it supremely easy to detect short nibbles or small bite like pecking. Hook set is almost immediate and you can hook tightly without trouble due to the by Cross Force butt section.

A small oil painting that tries to capture the remoteness and isolation of the Moor on a summer's day. I was inspired by a particularly windy walk onto Rippator in the middle of the moor. It is ready to hang and comes with it's own certificate of authenticity.
