Cipher Fishing: Refined Tackle Choices for Improved Angling
Cipher Fishing has launched its brand to produce refined tackle for anglers. The brand was founded by manufacturing and business development veteran Ryan Chris and pro-anglers Cody Murray and Cody Meyer.
Ryan Chris, CEO of Cipher Fishing, touts the company's products' performance, stating, 'As the CEO of Cipher Fishing, I am proud to introduce a tackle company built on the belief that success on the water starts with precision, not excess.'
Chris is the current owner and operator of the tackle shop Idaho Rod and Reel. He has over 20 years of experience in manufacturing and business development.
Cody Murray, president of Cipher Fishing, is a decorated amateur and professional angler with three years on the Wild West Bass Trail as a Pro, two years on the FLW Toyota Series Pro, and one year as an FLW Tour professional.
Cody Meyer, Cipher Fishing's director of product development, has been a pro angler for 17 years. He has 40 top-ten finishes and placed second in the Angler of the Year points for BASS opens in 2024. Meyer used cipher fishing products on the circuit, lending credibility to the tackle.'
With combined professional fishing and business experience, this trio announced Cipher Fishing as their entry into the fishing tackle market. The self-proclaimed fishing junkies believe that the rigorous quality testing they put their products through sets them apart from existing companies.
'Unlike other brands that rush untested products to market, we do things differently, proving every product through rigorous design and on-the-water testing before it ever reaches anglers,' Chris stated.
Quality and performance are the centerpieces of Cipher Fishing products. The Cipher Fishing team designed a hook around the tungsten ball head size, with separately manufactured coats and hooks to accomplish this.
Meyer and Murray informed Chris that the refinement of their equipment separates professional anglers from amateurs. Pro anglers pay considerably more attention to their hook and terminal tackle choices. Meyer was frustrated with the lack of quality tungsten nail weights he used for Neko rigging. Meyer's frustration led to the design of Cipher Fishing's two keystone products: a tungsten nail weight and their premium custom 'Kotae' hook.
Cipher Fishing's motto is simple and effective: Create the best terminal tackle available to elevate every angler's experience.

Contractor woes: Upstate couple warns don't fall victim
(WSPA) – We get a lot of complaints from homeowners who hire contractors and pay thousands upfront only to have the job go unfinished. One Anderson County couple said they didn't realize the contractor they hired had a lengthy history of issues until it was too late, and they are sharing their story so you don't fall into the same situation, with him, or anyone doing work on your home. For the last two years, Jeremy Bass has been consumed by a desire to save others from the financial and emotional hardship he says he's come to know. 'What we want is for other folks to be warned and for this to stop,' Bass said. In 2022, Bass signed a contract with 180 Handyman Solutions in Pickens County to do a 3-part renovation to their home. He and his wife, Ginger, said they felt comfortable paying thousands upfront to owner Timothy Porter because he talked about being a minister at a church nearby. 'He presented himself as a man of faith, and just instantly had a great rapport with him,' Jeremy said. Porter had, in fact, completed an $8,000 job in their crawl space with no issues, so when it came time to work on the kitchen, the Basses paid Porter $13,500 as a down payment. But months before any work began, Ginger lost her job, and they had to scale back the $32,500 kitchen renovation budget. Bass showed 7NEWS the interior wall still standing, though the written contract included its removal. Unfortunately, though Jeremy said he asked for it, he never got a revised contract with the much lower price. He said they took it on faith when Porter agreed verbally to a much smaller job for the original down payment and brushed off the need for a full contract revision, an oversight Bass strongly regrets. 'I wish I had never talked to him ever in my life,' Jeremy said. When the kitchen was done, Jeremy said Porter told him he had gone over by $4,000 and they agreed to pay the extra cost. But here's where things get tricky. At the same time, they paid upfront for the final project, a bathroom renovation for $16,000. So, the total in one check was $20,000 (for the kitchen overage plus the down payment on the next project). Jeremy showed us Porter's new estimate, plus the cancelled check. 'Foolishly, I paid him in advance for that. And on here I even put in the memo line, bath, bed remodel,' Jeremy said. The '180' for Bass came when Porter sent a receipt claiming that the check was for the kitchen only. 'I was appalled and shocked and felt duped,' Ginger said. After two years in the court system, a judge ruled last month that Porter owes Bass the $16,000. But Bass is skeptical he'll get that money back after doing a Public Index search and discovering a history of cases against Porter. 7NEWS reached out to South Carolina Labor Licensing and Regulation and learned Porter's residential contractor license was revoked in 2011 after many of those judgments found him guilty of taking money and not completing the job. Porter declined an on-camera interview, but in a brief phone call where we explained we were recording, we asked him about the license number that appears atop all 4 of the documents he gave to Bass with his letterhead. At first, he said, 'I don't know what you're talking about.' We read out the number of the license to him, '8723744,' to which he replied, 'I had a stroke 6 years ago and it affected my memory and I really, honestly, Diane I don't know what you're talking about.' We asked him if he was deliberately trying to mislead his clients and he said, 'I would have not put nothing on the document to make my customers believe I had a license. If my customers asked me am I licensed, I would tell them no I'm not.' He then declined to answer any further questions. His attorney, Monte Chasteen, did not respond to our questions about the license, but said the Basses won by default because his client had failed to respond to a court summons before hiring him. He called the case 'a misunderstanding between the parties as to what the terms of an agreement were,' and stressed that the judge did not award further damages. Attorney Jay Anthony, who represents Bass, said while most of the cases on Public Index against the contractor date back a decade, he has spoken to more current clients of Porter who have similar stories but can't afford a lawyer. 'We did feel there was a pattern there not only in terms of not doing work that he was paid to do, but also in terms of doing work that he wasn't licensed to do,' Anthony said. To verify a contractor in S.C. has a license, click here. The Public Index also showed another pattern of note. Porter appears to have changed company names over time from 'Priority Services,' to 'Horizon Mechanical,' to 'Timsco' to '180 Handyman Solutions.' And now, 7NEWS has learned, his latest company, Fieldstone Solutions, which retrofits sheds into tiny homes, has run into its own issues. An attorney with Kentucky-based Stor-Mor told 7NEWS it terminated Fieldstone as a dealer last year because, quote, 'we received customer complaints that Fieldstone Solutions was taking deposits to convert our sheds into a 'tiny home' and then failing to promptly perform that work.' Pickens County Building and Codes confirmed he does not have the license needed from the state to do the tiny home work as required by law. The Basses urge you to do the homework before hiring a contractor. Verify their license with LLR Check to see they're bonded and insured Keep an updated contract And in the least, read Google reviews 'I don't want anybody else to go through this,' Mrs. Bass said.

Mayor Bass taps AECOM to assist with Palisades rebuilding
Nearly five months after a firestorm laid waste to a wide swath of Pacific Palisades, Mayor Karen Bass announced Friday that the global infrastructure firm AECOM will help develop a master plan for rebuilding the area, as well as a plan for reconstructing utilities and other infrastructure. The firm will work alongside both the city and Hagerty Consulting, which Bass tapped as a recovery contractor in early February, according to the mayor's office. Hagerty, an Illinois-based disaster recovery firm, has a yearlong contract with the city for up to $10 million but has faced persistent questions about the specifics of its work. Read more: As L.A. rebuilds from the Palisades fire, residents ask: What's the plan? The mayor's office did not immediately answer when asked Friday whether Hagerty's role was being scaled back. In late January, the mayor, along with four council members and other city officials, heard presentations from Hagerty, AECOM and a third firm also seeking to be the city's disaster recovery contractor. After Bass selected Hagerty in February, she said the city was still in discussions with AECOM about a separate contract. 'An unprecedented natural disaster requires an unprecedented, all-hands-on-deck response — all levels of government, philanthropy, the private sector and educational institutions coming together to support the community and rebuild as quickly and safely as possible,' Bass said in a written statement Friday. 'AECOM's expertise in long-term infrastructure planning and design will only further expedite our work to get families home.' The mayor's office also did not immediately respond when asked whether the city now has a contract with AECOM, or what the specifics of that contract, including the compensation, are. Steve Soboroff, a longtime local developer and Bass' former chief recovery officer, publicly criticized Bass' decision to choose Hagerty over AECOM as the city's initial disaster recovery contractor. In an interview in mid-April as he was leaving his post, Soboroff raised questions about Hagerty's role and said he thought AECOM should have been hired instead. Along with developing a comprehensive rebuilding master plan and supporting the Palisades' infrastructure reconstruction, AECOM will help coordinate broader public and private rebuilding efforts. The company will work on a "logistics plan for materials management in coordination with local builders and suppliers" as well as a master traffic plan as more homeowners leap into the rebuilding process, according to a news release. AECOM is also the "official venue infrastructure partner" for the 2028 Olympic Games, according to a March news release from LA28.
