The company changed hands last year.

The site expired a few days ago, I wouldn't worry too much it happens to a lot of guys..........ring a bell John?

A lot of shelves at the shops are pretty low on stock.

Need some squid darters too.

Does anyone know who is now running tattoo plugs? Or what they are called now? Is it gone forever?

its still tattoo, kevin is the new owner,(who is on this forum under a different name).

i know there they were transitioning the ownership last year, which explains the lack of plugs in the shops.

From what I understand none of the plugs are changing but expect to see a few new ones that have been seeing some r and d all last season, with help from a few local ri surfcasting legends.

Hopefully he sees this and chimes in.

I see the site is back up but are they cranking up production? Have they contacted their dealers? Slim pickings on the wall.
