We are having a GREAT Trophy season. I have been very busy in promoting these incredible Accurate products. Ben has been helping me quite a bit in providing me with what I need to do so in the way that I feel is most effective. I have taken a page out of your "long-range" book. I have always felt, since day one, that to hold and use an Accurate reel is the only way to appreciate these animals. I have loaned out rods and reels to anyone and everyone I could find, (and trust), during this trophy season. I deal and mentor the East Coast's best Striped Bass fisherman. These men are the best of the best and incredibly set in their ways.

HOWEVER!- They cannot argue that to boat a Cow Striper on an Accurate set-up is like going fishing again for the first time. I can honestly say without ANY exaggeration that every guy that caught a fish on an Accurate rig will be re-rigging over the next few months. Dewayne Lamb, owner of Captain's Quarters and Captain of Team All 4 Fun -(2006 NC State Champion, Lake Norman 2006 Champion and the number 1 Guide on Smith Mountain Lake) was speechless (his words), after Fishing for 3 weeks with the 7 rod/reels I MADE him use. Although I fish with many professional Striper fisherman, I recommended only Dewayne for your Captain/Guide program. He has already placed an order with Ben for 8 rigs. I feel, that with his influence, and character, he will be a very positive example of what Accurate represents.

Thank you so much for your continued support.
I will continue to carry on, showing this side of the world what they are missing!

If there is anything else I can do, please let me know.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays.

Mike Smedley, Captain, Team Old School.
