A visit to Tochterman's in Baltimore

Since 1916 the Tochterman family has operated its tackle shop in downtown Baltimore. Tony and Dee are the current generation that run the place like a clock and work 'round the clock. They are long friends of Hardy and Greys and are a sounding board for our product and programs well before they hit the street. I visited them yesterday to give them a preview of our upcoming presentation at the FTR show in Denver. If you are ever in Baltimore stop by and see this shop that is close to the Harbor (and the fishing).

Salmon Perfect reels are the "News of the Week"

The introduction of the new Salmon Perfect reels has been the "News of the week". Getting ready for salmon and steelhead is what it is all about and with all the good water (too much of a good thing?), this looks like it is going to be a good season. Both the 4" and the 4 1/4" reels have always been the top of the range and the unique 18 bearing race gets the angler that much closer to the fish. These reels are in stock and ready to fish.

Meet our first angler who is "Born to Fish". His photo initiates our first in a series of ads featuring anglers who represent Greys. Feel free to send in your own photo of an extreme angler and we will consider it for an ad in the series.

This shot was taken by Ian Davis, Crosby Beane's former partner at Breckenridge Outfitters. He is a fair distance from the mountains with this image, but appears to be content.
