A Red Letter Day for Shark


Huge 10 ft waves with heavy cross chop converged at the Sodus Pro Am this past weekend, but the champions rose to occasion. We are always thrilled when the top teams in the sport win important tournaments using our products. We are equally thrilled to hear our Sharks performed admirably in the high waves; they did not tangle up... and they did the job. Thrillseeker, A-TOM-MIK, and Cold Steel have been winning with Sharks for a long time. More importantly, they use Sharks in their everyday charter fishing business.

Will do! Yes, we used the 20lb sharks and they performed fantastic in those incredible waves of 8 feet plus with a cross chop. We did lose a 20lb black shark due to human error. It was the most extreme weather I have ever fished a tourny in, and the sharks helped us produce the best King catch of the tourny and win the Eastern Cup Championship.

"The only downer of the weekend was a bad rigger cable, allowing one of our treasured Shark weights to swim to the bottom of lake Ontario I have told you many times but worth repeating. Despite big waves and terrible currents we never get a tangle with our shark weights! Always track true!!!"

Second Place Sodus Pro Am

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!!"

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
