Default Tourney results

Well now.......That was plainly the most miserable day of fishing I believe
I have ever had in my life. Rained all day long with temperature around 40
degrees with a constant wind making it feel in the low 30's. To top it off,
around 11am it turned to sleet and before that was over (about an hour and a
half), there was almost an inch of ice in the boat. Myself, I didn't do too
well but learned quite a few lessons. However, my best friend and fishing
buddy that lives about a block from me won the tournament!!!! It was the
first fishing tournament he has ever won in his life as he only started
fishing tournaments last year and he won it from the back of the boat as it
is a draw tournament(ABA, District 10). He ended up with three fish for a
total weight of 9.74 lbs!!! He missed lunker by only 2 100ths of an oz.
But you know what the best part of the whole things was?????? He caught all
of his fish on a birthday present I gave him last year. Right out of the
package white and chartreuse SECRET WEAPON SPINNER BAIT. I got him three
for his birthday last year and he caught every fish that day on a 1/4 oz
with a small silver Colorado front spinner and a gold larger willowleaf back
spinner. When I asked him what was the blade arrangement, he said he didn't
know (he didn't know the difference between a Colorado and a willowleaf).
He just said he opened the package and tied it on and added a white
split-tail trailer. He had, in the past, had rather inconsistent hookups
when using a spinner bait. He told me he landed EVERY fish that hit on the
Secret Weapon. 100% success rate Needless to say, I am extremely proud of
my fishing buddy.......

By the way, my buddy Barry would like to express his most sincere gratitude
to Mr. Rickard and his wonderful product!!!! I sincerely believe that a Pro
Kit order will soon be in the making.......


LOL, that doesn't surprise me at all. Afterall, my favorite secret weapon
is a Secret Weapon!
