I think you'll find NAFTA only applies to trade in goods manufactured in North America. So if goods are made in the UK for instance then import duty will still apply when shipped across the US / Canada border. It also applies to duty ratable items shipped via USPS as the package requires a customs value and origin declaration to be attached to the package.

We would love to see more features and stories from CAG members... get writing and send them in

Thanks to those who can rise above the usual trivial trolling and ask sensible questions... it is much appreciated.

Excellent!

So long and thanks for all the fish

Ha, Ha probably

Hi Willem, I'm unable to reply to Neil Stern's post on his stepping down in the Public announcement section nor can I access the CAG members only forums. Any ideas? thanks, Iain

for some reason the CAG site is coming up as a full web browser instead of the simplified and easier to use mobile version on my I-phone 5. Any ideas?

Last couple of weeks remaining for the offer but only while stocks last.

Thanks to everyone who has taken up the Saxon rod offer... still a few available.

If they went bulk mail rate then it could take a while. As for USPS I have nothing but praise for their service. My local office and delivery folk have been excellent.

I just wanted to thank all the CAG members and followers for their loyalty and business this past year. May you & your Saxon rods never tire of landing fish, your Spombs keep them feeding and your Delkims never fall silent in 2014! All the best to you and your familys.

The long awaited Midi Spomb is finally here! The Midi weighs about 4.5oz when loaded and will be ideal to cast on most carp rods with test curves of 3.00 + It shares all the key features of the Mini & Large Spomb and will be an excellent addition to the range. We think it will soon become the best selling of the Spomb range! Please note that we have been able to secure better pricing on the Spomb range and have adjusted the retail prices effective immediately. Large: $19.95 Midi: $17.50 Mini: $14.95 Dealers should have them in stock next week.

And just in case anyone wants to know how effective Betalin can be... http://www.gofishing.co.uk/Angling-Times/Section/News--Catches/General-News/900lb-Linear-haul-for-Tom-Maker/

The new Delkim catalog is now available on line... http://www.delkim.co.uk/virtual-brochure.php

I thought I would share this amazing photo from Tackle Trade World of a Spomb just hitting the water... Please note that while the Spomb is available in both black and white colors we only import the White into North America as the typically higher summer temps over here can make the black color units open prematurely.

Well the first batch sold out in just a couple of days... more on the way! Here's a video teaser on how Betalin can be used... http://youtu.be/OH26CstQyvw

Congratulations to Jeffrey Crowe of Williamsburg WV. You will be receiving a Saxon hexalite 2.75 rod as the most recent winner in the CAG new member draw!

Awwww shucks guys thanks for the kind words I'm blushing! Developing a carp rod has certainly been a fascinating & rewarding experience, especially taking on quite a different direction from the current Euro style fashion for faster taper rods. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we've received on the Saxon hexalites durability and ability to handle the amazingly powerful carp that we find over here (without pulling hooks etc) has made it well worth all the effort. We've now started to find a growing market in Europe where anglers are finding that many of the casting sticks simply cannot handle the not so tame carp - especially outside the usual 'stock' pond environment. More interesting is the fact they are choosing the lighter test curve rods compared to North America. Once again thanks for the kind words and to the many of you who have chosen our rods. Tight Lines for 2013 and beyond!

Here are some great Delkim accessories to add your Holiday Giving and Receiving List! http://saxontackle.com/?page_id=360 Check out the Baseball caps, Fleece Hats, the New Smart Clips or the Colored Hard Cases - they make ideal stocking stuffers. If your dealer outlet does not have them in stock just ask them to have them drop shipped or PM me. And how about a Delkim Insulated Mug for these colder months?

Delkim have launched a new ES version of their successful NiteLite Pro and DuoCarb items The ES refers to a shortened cable (only 6.7" instead of 10") for the NiteLite and a shorter (4") fixed length DuoCarb. This follows the growing trend in the UK & Europe for shorter bank sticks and slack line techniques. The kit includes an ES NiteLite Pro in a choice of Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, White and Purple LED's AND an ES DuoCarb and will retail for $52.95 When combined with the Delkim Smart Clip the effective 'bobbin' weight of the NiteLite is negligible.

The much anticipated arrival of the Delkim Smart Clips is almost over... They will be shipped out to you favorite Delkim stockist next week - place your orders now! Each pack includes 3 Smart Clips together with attachment 'O-Rings' and retails at $22.95
