Kevin R. age 12 with one of his two fish in the photo.  Caught most of his fish on a 6' Big Royal rod, open faced, using 30lb line and a #8 hook connected using a STABOR®.  The other rod was a Big Mitchell Reel open faced, with 20lb test line #8 hook and a STABOR®.  When reeling in his catch, the only way he could keep the pole steady was to secure the bottom of his rod on his stomach.  Needless to say after fighting these huge fish that he got a stomachache. But after two days they (Grandfather) netted 11 Carp 5 catfish, 4 wipers, 2 Sunni's, 3 bluegill, 1 bullhead.  Not bad "A"

One comical events which took place at the Trout Tank, was the 1/2" line lock  which is being used to assist James attaching the flies to the line instead of tying knots, a peculiar thing happened.  James stated that, " Whenever you dropped the line into the water the trout were not only hitting the hook, they were hitting the STABOR® and it seemed to attract them a lot more, its a little more shinny."
 
Letter from a Fan:

Dear STABOR®, We recently went to the "Fish and Tackle" show at the Fairgrounds, and was introduced to your STABOR® product. We have 2 boys (9 and 5), who we have raised fishing a-lot in farm ponds. Changing their hooks to lures to spinners, then back to plastic worm, left less time for my husband and I to fish. I prayed for the day they could tie their own fishing lures and baits. Then came STABOR®! The boys had no problem learning to use them and could change lures as often as they liked. Honestly, I was not convinced at first! We have big catfish out there. I questioned the durability. I also questioned change of action in my lures, I'm mainly a lure fisherperson. Well, we've been using STABOR® a couple of months now, and I'm hooked! Our 9 year old caught a 6˝ LB catfish using STABOR® so its proved its durability. I've tried all my favorite lures, no difference - STABOR® works Great!

SINCERELY,

KAREN B.
