Paul Check, Fin Rage <strong>Tackle</strong>’s owner, explained: “We are excited to bring Al’s Goldfish Lures to Wisconsin, one of the bastions of sportfishing in America, where we can more closely connect with Midwestern anglers and develop the next phase in the seven-decade-long history of the company. “At the same time, we pledge to remain true to the company’s northeastern roots. Al’s Goldfish Lures is famous for being deadly on sportfish species throughout America and the world, and our goal is to increase their effectiveness across the board.” Moving forward, he revealed that his goals include the development of new colours in the current Goldfish, 49er and Helgy product lines, the creation of new products and offerings for ice fishermen and the development of additional product size ranges across the board to make the product line even more effective for a wide variety of fishing techniques. Paul added: “There is a different type of fishing here in the Midwest, specifically walleye, northern pike and musky and the Al’s Goldfish products have proven successful over the years for these species. “We intend to develop additional sizes and colours of Al’s Goldfish products to continue that long history of success.” www.alsgoldfish.com 14 www.tackletradeworld.com

TONY HUANG PACBAY MINIMA - X offers an unparalleled level of durability, solving the problems commonly associated with inner rings popping out or getting crushed. Through extensive reform and innovation, PACBAY MINIMA - X is constructed using highstrength , one-piece stainless steel. Both the guides and tops utilize mirror polishing, multi-layer Hard Chrome plating, and Titanium plating processes, resulting in corrosion resistance, low friction, and high thermal conductivity. As a result , the friction force during long-distance casting or retrieving is significantly reduced. If you’ve ever experienced the nightmare of losing or breaking your inner ring while battling a tough fish, you’ll appreciate the superiority of PACBAY MINIMA - X. Currently, we offer sizes ranging from #05 to #20, with plans to expand up to #50. More sizes and models will be available soon. We believe these guides are ideal for lure anglers, particularly carp anglers who often face issues with the #50 stripper guide getting damaged during transportation. With PACBAY MINIMA - X, this problem has been entirely eliminated. In summary, PACBAY MINIMA - X guides and tops are renowned for their exceptional durability and ability to withstand heavy use and harsh conditions. This innovation in the fishing world, through the abandonment of ceramic and stainless-steel rings, allows fishermen to bid farewell to the nightmares of ring breakages, crushing, and detachment.
