Sponsors

Being a prostaffer for a any company means using their products on a daily basis. It also means analyzing and giving feedback to the corporation on the quality of the product and communicating with the retailers, end users and other prostaffers on the qualities and benifits of the sponsors equipment.

One thing I would never do is represent a company and persuade possible buyers towards a product that I truly do not believe to be the best value for the money and an overall high quality product. I think Gerald Swindel said it best when he said, "On any cast I make I could pay for my daughter's college education. With that type of money on the line, I cannot rely on equipment I do not believe in 100%." I agree with Gerald and that is why I too will not promote any product I personally don't believe to be the best I can use for the money.

Without exception each rod and reel I have owned from the Quantum PT line has been of the highest in quality and engineering and each one has me completely satisfied with its performance. I highly recommend the next time you are in the market for a rod or reel to look closely at the latest products from one of the oldest fishing rod and reel manufacturers on the market.

Tru-Tungsten Fishing Products

Angler's have been fishing with lead for as long as I have been alive. Well, there is a new way to get weights, jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and shakey heads to the bottom of the lake. It's called Tungsten! I was first introduced to Tungsten in the golf world and when I started bass fishing I quickly learned that Tungsten was as valueable in the water as it was in my golf clubs. Tungsten offers smaller profile products that offer the same weights as their larger lead counterparts. Tru-Tungsten makes the finest Tungsten fishing products in the industry.

Tru-Tungsten works with many of the finest pro's in the sport of bass fishing. Mike Iaconelli, Larry Nixon, Denny Brauer, Jason Quinn, Marty Stone and more are all part of the Tru-Tungsten team and are designing new products currently and will continue to create products the go beyond what is available to do. Their west coast pro-staff include some of the best names on the water in the west. Gary Dobyns, Matt Newman and Shaun Bailey all show up at the top of the results for tournaments on a regular basis. It's an honor to be part of this tremendous pro-staff and I look forward to offering my feedback to this tremendous company as they improve the products we all use to chase the green fish we all love to catch.

If you haven't tried Tungsten yet, you are missing out. Give it a try and you'll never go back to lead!

Performance Tackle Custom Rods
It's not often that you pick up a piece of equipment that makes you go "Wow, this is going to make me a better angler!" As editor of a national magazine I see new products on a daily basis and some of them are great and others aren't so good. From the very first moment I held a Performance Tackle Custom Rod I knew this was the rod I had to use. I need every advantage when I am on the water and using the high performance rods from Performance Tackle is definitely an advantage.

Performance Tackle Custom Rods are made one at a time by hand by Mark Higashi of Performance Tackle in Los Alamitos California. Each spline is custom built exactly to the angler's specifications. These rods are made almost completely in the U.S. with the exception of the Fuji guides which are well known as being the finest guides available.

Who should buy Performance Tackle Custom Rods?

Performance Tackle Custom Rods aren't for everyone. Sure they are the best rods you can buy, but for those new to the sport or on a small budget I wouldn't recommend buying Performance Tackle Custom Rods, I'd recommend buying the Quantum Rods. However, if you fish for a living or simply want the best possible rods made and can afford them, then Performance Tackle Custom Rods are the right choice.
