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.
