Bill Dance, Mr. Fishing

I met Bill at iCast 2007 and told him about the Cyclone Pro linewinder. He said, and this is a paraphrase, "You know something, I hate changing line and I know I've lost fish because of it." I sent Bill a unit and a few months later, I got a call.

We entered into an agreement with Bill and he now represents our machines but only after he worked with it for quite some time. I flew down to Memphis to meet him and his Producer Tony Mack. They are some of the most professional guys I've met in the business and also a bunch of kidders. Check out the video and if want want one you can get it direct from us at http://www.linewinders.com/

Tackle Trade Show: ICAST in Vegas

Every year, the fishing equipment industry puts on quite an event at their ICAST trade show. This year it was in Las Vegas and it was pretty well attended. The purpose of the show is for tackle shops to see what's out there and for manufacturers to parade their new inventions. There was some pretty cool stuff. Pure Fishing had a huge presence this year and many new products. I liked the line of hand tools called Berkley Tec. They are beautifully designed and nice to the touch. Good price point too. I was also impressed with a Canadian company's product to control electric trolling motors. Their controller prevents the trolling motor from cavitating and chasing the fish away. You can learn more about that at www.re-actionsystem.com. I am not affiliated with them. They are just cool people. What we did learn at ICAST is that their is virtually no competition for our professional grade line winding equipment. Sure there are a few non-powered contraptions but nothing for the serious fisherman and nothing that can handle life in a tackle shop like our Cyclone series. Take a look at the depth of range and experience at www.trianglesport.com.

By the way, we spent an hour chatting with Mr. Fisherman, Bill Dance. You know what he told me? The one thing he hates to do is strip and spool line. So much so, he does not do it as often as he should and he has lost fish because of it. He's anxious to try one of our Cyclone Pros.

Dock Dogs

So I fly down to Moneta, Virginia to meet Pro Bass Anglers Lee Bailey and Byron Velvick. I've hired them to help market my company's fishing line winding machines (www.linewinders.com). These Pros are the nicest and coolest guys---all of them! Well the fishing and all was really fun especially the weigh in at the end of each day but the unexpected excitement came from the make-shift pool set for the Dock Dog competition. Here are dogs and owners competing to see whose dog can leap the farthest after running full-speed down a 40 foot ramp. They could also call it the Flying Labradors. Well the action was amazing and boy did the fans, especially the kids, love standing in the splash zone. But business matters pulled me away from the action.

I needed to get to know my Pro advisors on the Ccylone Line Winder Project. Can you believe it, these guys use around 10 to 15 rods and reels during the practice rounds and they strip and spool fresh line on each every night. They have done it by hand mostly but that's where Triangle Sport comes in. We make line winding equipment for tackle shops around the world. Been doing so for almost 30 years. Now we developed the Cyclone Pro engineered and manufactured right here in the USA. Do the job in a tenth the time and more evenly than by hand. The Pros love us becuase it is small and portable enough to fit below deck on a bass boat and it is powered through the accessory outlet plug. Very cool and not an arm and a leg. In fact we sell only direct with no middle men mark-up. You can buy a Cyclone Pro from us for $100 less than you'll see it on the internet, Really. It will last a long time under the most demanding conditions too. That's because it is American made.
