Hi Everyone. Thought I'd intoduce myself. My name in Justin "Allen" (middle name). Joined this board because of knowing some of you on Facebook. About myself: I decided to leave a job at a local Plastic Injection Molding company in IN to do something that I love and to spend more time doing just that. The job gave me alot of experience traveling around the world and I got to know some great people in the industries that we sold (RV, Tier 1 Auto, Truck and Trailer, and Casino)

I'm a tool and die maker by trade. So this is how I got started. Made my first reel on an old South Bend Lathe in my spar time. For those that know what a South Bend Lathe is. You know it can take awhile than on a CNC machine. So after this I started to design reels and have the suppliers of the plastic company make them for me. Most of my travels were do to sales and sourcing tooling in Windsor Canada, Indiana, and Asia.

After that, people started asking me to carry other products and thats how I got to where I'm at now. I have some new reels being released soon. One is a Centerpin (float) reel and an Anti Reverse reel. Don't let my prices on my website foul you. I don't base pricing around retail. I base it on manufacturing.

Well, if you would like to know more. Just sent me a PM and I'd be happy to chat.

Take care

Justin
