Thanks, fellas.

We've been wanting to work with ABA for some time. Bob and I have always
appreciated their work with veterans and active duty military, and one of
our initiatives is to provide rewards for the seven competing service teams.
ABA's 2005 national championship is next week in Shreveport, and we'll kick
off our sponsorship there.

ABA members who participate in the SWL/ABA Pro Rewards Program will compete
for tackle packs each month.... every program participant throughout the
year who places first in a divisional tournament will receive a $50 starter
kit. Those names are then put in the hat for a monthly drawing, and the
person whose name is drawn takes home an additional $500 in cash that month.

ABA has about 22,000 active members, I believe, and we're hoping to get our
lures into the tackle boxes and on the lines of a good number of them.

Joe

Just posted a press release from American Bass Anglers about Secret Weapon
becoming a sponsor - congrats Joe and all

“From the press release:

"“Secret Weapon will be the premiere spinnerbait on the market by spring,
and now the anglers fishing ABA will gain a serious advantage over their
competition”, said David Hagood, VP, American Bass Anglers."

"In the past couple of years, we’ve created quite a stir in the Midsouth
region of the U.S. Our growth in sales has come from anglers who tried our
spinnerbaits and proved their value on the water—and then told their
buddies,” says Joe Haubenreich, President of Secret Weapon Lures. “Now we
want to see our buzzbaits and spinnerbaits tied on the lines of the best
bass anglers across the U.S. We believe ABA is the organization that can
help us do that”."
