They say "you can't start them young enough," and the industry experts at Teleflex Marine have been committed to sharing their enthusiasm for the boating, fishing and marine industries with young and old alike for years.

As a matter of fact, the company's Product Focus truck and trailer rig has been getting folks in the marine industry excited about new Sierra and Teleflex products since it first started rolling down the nation's highways a few years ago. Since then, this "classroom on wheels" has been engaging boating enthusiasts of all ages about the latest and greatest new products to enhance their on-the-water experiences.

So it's no surprise that Teleflex's custom trailer rig was right in the thick of things recently at the nation's first sanctioned high school fishing championship in Carlyle, IL. The trailer provided an open house for the more than 1,200 attendees at the tournament with two distinct areas: the Sierra side showcasing new products and informative cutaway displays showing the inner workings of Sierra's innovative products, and the Teleflex side, with detailed, working displays of a wide range of cutting edge controls, gauges and steering systems. The trailer's modular design has been popular so far for a variety of boat shows appearances, business meetings and industry conferences.

"We're pleased that bass fishing has been embraced at the high school level with this incredibly successful official kick-off, and we were honored to play a part in continuing to share our passion and excitement for fishing and boating with a new generation," says Tom Douglass, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Teleflex Marine.
