The IF Design Award is Given to Yearly Innovations of Creativity!
In March of 2024 Okuma Fishing received the prestigious IF Design Award for their Inspira Spinning Reel for 2024. This is a high level achievement for any company to receive. Besides the fact this reel is filled with almost all the advanced features that Okuma can shove into it, it was my favorite & smoothest Okuma Spinning Reel to date. Congratulations to John Bretza, Okuma's Director of Product Development for his achievement & to his team. (I got this off Amazon last year where it's on sale now. Not sure how long that will last now).
Traveled the World diving & fishing. Became a ranked billiard player in Asia. Won a few senior bowling tournaments. I travel to the US, Australia & Europe working with museums & doing educational lectures.
