Outdoor Pro Shop's BassJam 2009 (pt. 2) (continued)

Ima: It was a busy day at BassJam ’09 and the manufacturers rarely had a moment to themselves. Such was the case when we arrived at the ima booth where Matt Paino was busy trying to refuel with some lunch, but the second he saw us, he put away his food and greeted us with his usual big smile and friendly handshake.

Big news at ima is the Big Stick is in final production mode.

Exciting news in Matt’s booth at BassJam ’09? The Randy Pringle designed Big Stick is in final stages of production and is set to hit store shelves in big numbers at the end of this month. Priced at $21.99 each, the Big Stick is Pringle’s take on the popular pencil popper and features an internal harness and ten stunning colors. Stay tuned for more on this bait as Pringle has invited us out for a first hand, on the water look at his pet project!

The bait is set for deliver at the end of this year.

We can tell one will be a big hit.

Tessera & Trokar: If it wasn’t for his affinity for bright colors, we would have hardly recognized 2009 BassClassic Champ Skeet Reese who, for 2010, is growing out his hair once again. But don’t let the his closely cropped locks fool you, that same competitive intensity is still there only today, it was expressed in terms of product. We’ll let Skeet walk you through what he had on hand to show us today himself.
