This is my story..CanyonGear

[canyongear]

I am not a writer..with proper prose..but I believe in my heart and what I know.

I would like to start this thread with this thought:

"Fishing is our handshake, our language.
A Heritage that binds us together.
A passage our fathers took.
A Journey that lasts a lifetime,
That we have begun again with our sons and daughters."

I am a Fisherman..

I write this for a purpose, which is beyond my bounds of literary since I have no knowledge of the proper but have unlimited knowledge of "how to" that is who I am.

I am an ideaist..I try..again and again..if I fail..I don't quit..I come back and say what if?..I am your friend..your confidant..we speak in fisherman..we meet on occasion and bond as always in that small place that makes us men. In the cockpit we trouble and toil..we do the things we all do..and let each of us do what we do best..we each know each others strengths and weaknesses..we bend, improvise, encourage and foregive, all on a seconds tick..we work as a TEAM.

There are athletes that attain notariaty..none of which we aspire..we enjoy our brothers..whilst we fish and bring our lives closer together, one step closer each fish, we bind what we know about what our specialty is with each and every trip we take. We, as fisherman, long ago realized to do it right, takes more than one! Big Game fishing is a team sport, for money or love it is our way..the crew may change but the priorities do not as each and every fishing day begins with.."hey brotha...great to see you and how are you and what not".

I am at the edge of what I feel is what.. I am...I will not compromise the site and I will not give in..SF.com is an ultimate resource for those that use it as such...learn from it..learn from others..support the products that they make..they are here for a reason..the passion they have and the willingness to share with each and everyone of us.

I do have a purpose for writing this..after almost 2 years I find that my little compay is ready to launch it's place in the world of Big Game Tackle Supply. I have invested countless thousands to make our product the best I could and keep it within my means, having said that it is also made in the USA, 100%.

I can honestly say, I have almost written this 500 hundred times..but I would not without the proper courtesy as follows:

1. The site admin blesses this.
2. The readership feels they will benefit from the products.
3. The advertising dollars that will be spent here, will benefit the great and ongoing efforts of SF.com.
4. I believe there is room for my products in the market and make no bones about what the products are..I cannot claim a 1656..I cannot claim tournament winners..I will not make false or mis-leading statements about the product.
5. I will: give you the best product each and every time..customized (within our capabilites) to your wishes.
6. They are made here in the U.S.A.
7. Where humanly possible, the products used in the assembly, will be made in the U.S.A.

A side note: I have, over the last two years dedicated every waking moment, minus female distractions, of developing and making sure this was the best product I could develop..for the Big Game Tackle lure business.

I welcome the admin and others to respond as to "how best make this work"...

Money is Money..times are tough..

If a sneek peek, prior the website launch is not within the power of the admin..understandable..I have read your willingness to give to get..with the reduction in ad pricing..a great tool!

Im asking for some help, criticism and exposure..ad first..just say it..without the website done..it's hard..see it my way..if it is the wait and see game..no problem another month won't kill us. Ad first bring the product..you make the call.

I know there are many fine companies here..that make a good living selling to the masses..including all the lure makers around the world..I know I have a product that will give me a slice..that's all I ask.

so..to sum it up..a PM, Call or here is my email and number from the admin of SF.com is all I ask to discuss the best way to handle this:

I will support this site with proceeds from the sale of our products..period!

CanyonGear Lures..Sneek Peek

Thank You ..Jer...for allowing the Sneek Peek!

[Fishfinder]

As another small tackle manufacturer, prpbably smaller than your-self, where everything we make is made here in the U.S., I wish you all the sucess in the world! Your product looks extremely good and should preform likewise. I am sure that the members of SF will give your lures a good review and workout as well!

Good Luck in your business!
