Hello all,
Mike and I decided to partner up to form a business centered around our favorite hobby bass fishing! As you can imagine we tossed around many ideas we believe we found a niche with our handles. I am a tackle junky like many of you and have tried many reels, from hard to find JDM reels to the latest offerings for our American bass market. I have also tried aftermarket reel handles from Japan such as ZPI and Bass Art, and have been impressed with their performance over stock/factory handles, but the price seemed high even to an enthusiast like me. Nevertheless, these experiences as well as fishing with the equipment 2-3 days/week helped us in our product design. I believe that if fished on a consistent basis side by side you will notice that our Hawg Handle is more comfortable with its larger custom made cork knobs, stronger due to carbon fiber thickness and knob spidle design, and offers more leverage without being too long and cumbersome. I have been fishing prototypes for some time now and can tell you that when I pick up reels without the handle on it I can't wait to change it out. Lastly, I would like to not only thank bass resource for providing a venue to share knowledge about fishing, but also fellow forum members for helping with feedback in the development and field testing of our handle.
Tight lines to all and thanks for your support!
Signing out from the Keys going to try fishing for blackfin tuna this morning and land a HAWG using my Hawg Handle equiped Daiwa Pluton!
