Thanks

I was at the Crappie USA classic and your pro team of Grimes & Martin introduced me on how to use the 1/2 in
STABOR®
line lock. I was impressed!!
I really feel that it helped us finish in the top 30!
Chat showed me how to tie it on and as a
troller for crappie it makes the presentation
more
life
like
ever
since
then I have used your product and have not had any problems except running out of
STABOR®'s! Will order

Question:
My husband and I have been fishing in Mountain Island Lake near Charlotte, NC and have been catching fish that look like crappies, but have a
black spot on the gills. Are these crappies? We haven't fished in a while and don't remember the black spot on the crappies. We have caught very small fish up to what would be a good size for a crappie and wondered what they are.
Answer:
from
Ken
Cook:
Sounds like a Black Crappie. Both Black and White Crappies have a variable black spot on the
opercula,
(gill Flap).

Dear
STABOR®,
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you
for
sponsoring
Crappie
USA
and
the
Tournament
Trail!
I
love
Crappie
Fishing
and
without
sponsors
line
STABOR®
a
Crappie
Fishing
Trail
would
only
be
a
dream.
Your
sponsorship
has
made
it
a
reality.
I
just
returned
from
the
Crappie
USA
Classics
in
Granada,
Mississippi,
we
were
almost
400
fisherman
strong
with
200
boats.
It
was
quite
a
sight
to
see
and
a
memory
I
will
have
forever!
One
of
the
STABOR®
representatives
gave
me
a
presentation
at
the
Classics.
As
much
as
I
hate
to
admit
it
age
is
creeping
up
on
me,
not
only
am
I
getting
gray
but
my
eyesight
is
going.
Your
presentation
really
opened
my
eyes,
(no
pun
intended),
I
knew
this
product
was
something
I
needed.
I
was
afraid
to
try
something
new
at
the
$100,000
Crappie
Classic
but
since
!
have
been
home
STABOR®
and
I
have
been
fishing
on
Truman
Lake!
I
no
longer
have
to
remember
my
glasses,
STABOR®
can
take
the
credit
for
that!
I
found
your
product
easy
to
use
and
of
course
practice
makes
perfect.
I
will
proudly
support
your
product
as
I
travel
the
tournament
trail,
I
am
sure
there
are
other
fisherman
having
the
same
problem
that
I
was
having.
Again
thanks
for
your
sponsorship,
without
sponsors
such
as
STABOR®
the
Crappie
Trail
couldn't
exist.
By
the
way,
does
STABOR®
have
anything
for
the
gray?
Just
kidding,
Happy
fishing!
Sincerely,
David Chiles

Anyhow, I have several of new and unique fish tackle ideas, I have no-knot metal swivels, and a special new design no-knot fish hook design, I am just wondering if anyone would be interested in this new product, and I am willing to negotiate a small percent royalty if any business arises between myself and who ever takes my fish hook idea to market.

Comment:
I had to let you know how impressed I am with new product. Last week, I was using the line lock for the first time and not only did it bring in a 7 lb. fluke, but I also boated a 12 lb. Bluefish!
These things are incredible! I was absolutely taken aback at their holding power. I also like the fact that that you can change rigs twice as fast. If there is one thing I've always disliked about fishing, it's changing rigs. I usually bring one setup for jigging or
buck-tailing and another for bait and maybe a third setup with a different rig. Now I can just take one rod and change my rigging in a snap. I'm really impressed and I have gone to several tackle shops here (I'm quite well known) showing your product and suggesting they contact you about carrying
STABOR®
Line Locks.

The more I use your line locks, the more I like them. I got a fishing buddy that lives down in south in
salt water country her in Louisiana. The wife and I are going to meet them the first weekend on Aug.
to fish some reds and specks. Can't wait to show them to him and his wife!

We are going to the Crappie USA Classic thanks to the
STABOR® line lock system. There is nothing better for double-jigging crappie jigs and
crank baits. Martin & Grimes Fishing Team. Hope to see you there.

Dear
STABOR®
,
First of all, I would like to say thank you for sponsoring the
Crappie
USA tournament trail. Everything that you do for
Crappie
USA is gratifying to all of us tournament anglers, and we are all in debt to you for backing us 100%.
My partner and I have now been fishing
Crappie
USA tournaments for the past 3 years. We are loyal to all of our National Sponsors, and we try to promote your products as much as possible. We have qualified for the Region 3 Regional tournament the past 2 years. We missed a
Crappie
USA Classic berth at Patoka Lake by 0.10 lbs (yes – we lost the tournament by 0.10 lbs!!!!!). We were absolutely dying to go to the Classic, but we’re now 0-3.
Now that we’ve got a “taste of how close that we came”, we’ve decided to fish the points division to earn a birth to the classic next year. My question to you, as a national sponsor, is: “How do we go about obtaining sponsorship directly from your company?” We would love to promote your products openly at our pre-tournament seminars, and any other way that we can help (whether it be wearing your patches on our jackets, stickers on the windows of our truck or on our boat, etc.).
We’re wanting to become big-time tournament anglers, and we’re looking to promote your products (which we LOVE to use - by the way).
We are in great debt to you.
Sincerely,
Craig Money (addicted to crappie fishing)
STABOR® question
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000
How long do they last? Will they rust? What are they made of? Are they good
for fish in the 20-50lb range like Blues and Stripers. Do they troll good?

Comment: Since I started using the
STABOR®, I can catch a lot more fish. The
lightening Strike looks like a bug, and
STABOR® gives it just the right action
to move like a bug. It's an unbeatable combination.

I recently heard Chatt Martin talk in a seminar and because of that I
ordered some line locks, they look like they should work pretty well.
I'm wondering if you have any info on Chatt, or he has a web page or
anything similar that I could access.
Thanks,

I was at a boat show in Republican City, Nebraska and they had a crappie seminar at the show. The pro at the show
told the crowd about the
STABOR®, and I thought it looked like the thing that would really work.
I wasn't sure about how to order the right amount so am glad that you added one of each size.
Thanks,

Comment: I found this winter when the weather was really cold it was easier to use the
STABOR®
than to try to tie jigs on the regular way also it was easy to add a second jig.
And it holds just as well with
fire-line
as a conventional knot. I would recommend
trying
