North Carolina Elite Series pro Dave Wolak just signed a two-year deal with Pinnacle to endorse both rods and reels in 2010. Pinnacle will be bring some new premier quality reels and super light tough rods that are priced right. They will be brought to the market sometime right after ICAST. "I am excited about this opportunity. The prototypes are excellent and we will have reels for both high speed and cranking applications, 7.1 to 1 and 5.0 to 1. Having the opportunity to be part of a prototyping program is critical to making good products for anglers and makes them easy to promote. The reels are high quality and the rods are super light, yet durable. I have put them to the test with swimbaits and "even" stripers and they work very well. Putting this big process together makes it all work."
Marc Malkin, Director of Marketing and Communications, said "We are all about making a premier product that is priced right and adding Dave, Grant Goldbeck, Paul Elias and Britt Myers will aid us in our efforts to make these rods and reels the best. We want to have the best at a price that anglers can afford. I think the public will be excited about what Pinnacle will be bringing to market."
"These are application-specific, tournament-grade products that have been designed utilizing extensive suggestions/feedback from accomplished BASS/FLW touring pros. The rods are in the final design stages, and the reels are in development as we speak. While this gear will feature state-of-the-art design, top-quality construction and the finest components/materials available – unlike our competition’s offerings – the price will be within reach of the average angler. The reels – baitcasting and spinning -- will be super smooth and durable, offering exceptional castability, drag performance and fish-fighting power. The custom-grade rods – each model tailor-made for its intended application – feature a proprietary construction process that makes them feather-light yet amazingly strong" said Malkin.
Look for more news about Pinnacle in the upcoming months.
