This is the comparison of the old design, to the new stuff. The tech drawing dosen't really give what it totally looks like in real life, but gives an idea. Here was the first fish that we had on it. Capt. Jeff Smith was kind enough to help me out and we went out and got it all on video. I will have the video in the booth at the MSBA, RISSA, and Somerset shows. Right now CMS, Nelson's, Goose, M&D's, Larry's, Anchor in dennis, and Powderhorn has them. I have been working on a bunch of new stuff this year and will have everything ready for the shows.


I got another intersting story too. My soon to be brother-in-law out in Maui hooked a 400# blue marlin on the 9" white rubber on monday. He is a complete Googan when it comes to fishing. He had asked me to send him some of the rubber back in the fall because he wanted to try fishing out there for yellowfin. He had a boat and gear he could use, but knows nothing about fishing. NOTHING. He had to send me pics of the rods to ask if they were all right to my phone. He knew enough I guess that the north side of the island was where he should go fishing, but next to that not much else. While I got the call tuesday that he wanted to say "thank you". I had no idea what he was talking about. He went on to tell me the story of how he was trolling the rubber in hopes of yellowfin, but he hooked a 10' blue. I asked him on what? While it was on the stuff you sent me. Come to find out I guess it ate the 9" white/ pearl new rubber I sent him. They only had it on for a few minutes, but I guess it went bezerk and started greyhounding all over the place till it landed on the line and broke them off. I thought it was the coolest story I have heard in a long time. He had nothing to hide, and nothing to prove. I told him they would catch, and I guess they did.
