Read the Signs

I got an email from a friend fishing the 2009 Masters Trolling Tournament in Denmark. In the email he states he was watching fish come right up to the Sapphire Shark a number of times and then swim off. This burns me up to no end when I hear this; I have been telling guys for five years when they see this happening, it is time to switch to the Black Sharks. If you are using Black Sharks and the fish are swimming off, switch to the Chromes or the Sapphires.


The sound generated from the all the Sharks is exactly the same; the bigger Sharks amplify the sound over a greater distance as they displace more water. Curious fish hear the sound and come to the ball from great distances, what they do when they get there depends entirely what kind of mood they are in. If the fish are feeling aggressive while you are using Chrome Sharks they will become even more stimulated and will hit anything running behind it. If they are feeling a little spooky, the Chrome might be a little too much for them to handle, and they will swim off. If you see them swimming off two or three times, don't just sit there, they are telling you to switch to the Blacks. Sharks are attractors just like your dodgers and flashers, serious fishermen do not expect one color to work for all the conditions.



Confidence in the Black Shark :Yesterday from Thomas in Norway:

Black shark, spoon was silver with golden flake (homemade), 5 feet behind the shark. Speed 2.4 knots.

Jeff Hynes Shark Pro Staff has declared: " I will not fish with round cannonballs." Same thing 40,000 other guys are saying. Jeff is leading the charge getting the message out to guides on the west coast. "Yeah I’m fish out of water right now, no shark cannonballs... no fishing.... I will not go out with round cannonballs! We fish on ledges all around here trying to find fish and right on bottom. Like fishing 200 feet deep in 210 feet of water.... bottom bouncing pretty much. Ledges drop or rise 20-40 feet difference, hence why I’m snagging up... I fishing 90 percent by my self so as soon as I walk away from the wheel... boat goes one way and then I’m bottom bouncing with cannonballs!!"

Shark Pro Staff, Ove Johansson from Team Extreme in Sweden is one Extreme Viking Fishermen, he has been using Sharks to catch big fish for the past 14 years, including a few national championships.  Ove caught this beautiful Artic Char behind a Chrome Shark yesterday.  Team Extreme has also been testing Shark Tournament spoons in Sweden for the past 2 years; just to make sure they work. They do! We are working hard to get the first shipment of Sharks to Olssons as fast as possible.  Check out Team Extreme   http://teamextremesweden.blogspot.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/sharkcannonballs

The Distributors

We started the business in the spring of 2001 bright eyed and very naive thinking we have a winner here with the Shark and let's just go for it, simple; right? My son Carl often says: " if he knew then what he knows now, there is not chance he would have committed to this project". A world without Sharks, it just about happened. We figured the first thing we need is a good distributor; got in touch with the folks at Triple S in New York. The package of sample Sharks was sitting on the kitchen counter ready to be delivered to New York, when we got a call from the neighbor; "turn on your TV! We just caught a live glimpse of the second plane slamming into the World Trade Center. The world changed forever that day, and at times it seems like it has been going on a downward spiral ever since. The samples didn't go out to New York for about two months. We thought about packing it in, it seemed like there was no point continuing. We were wrong, fishing took on a whole
