Vicious Fishing Announces Major Canadian Expansion
OutdoorHub 06.15.11
PELL CITY, AL – Vicious Fishing announces a significant move into the Canadian market through a new agreement with EdgePoint Incorporated and its product distribution network. Under this agreement, EdgePoint Inc. will immediately begin distributing the entire family of Vicious Fishing lines.
“With new products like Pro Elite Fluorocarbon and hot selling items such as Panfish Ice and our Vicious Braid, Canada offers a great opportunity for Vicious Fishing to take a big step forward in the North American market. We’re very happy to have EdgePoint Inc. lead us into this new territory.” stated Chris Armstrong, National Sales Manager of Vicious Fishing. “Our consumer demand has grown exponentially year-after-year since we introduced the brand in 2006 and we think this will help us continue to see that growth for years to come.”
“The Pro Elite Fluorocarbon is produced in Japan with some of the most superior resins and technology available. Vicious utilizes a level winding spooling process that continually lays-down the line side-by-side or parallel to itself across a single row; concurrently stacking the line precisely on top of the previous row as it traverses across additional rows. The significant benefits of this state of the art process will be recognized by all anglers once they fish with Pro Elite Fluorocarbon.” adds Eugene Ghounarides, CEO of EdgePoint, Inc.
A few of the key benefits of leveling winding vs. traditional spooled line are:
1. Significantly reduced line memory: Laser-guided system maintains even tension throughout the spooling process and keeps the line from twisting while eliminating line stretch as it traverses across each layer or row; thus keeping the line supple and memory free.
2. Casts further: The technique of winding the line side-by-side across each layer and stacking each layer parallel maintains the lines inherent smoothness and eliminates line criss-cross which cause minute knicks and abrasions on the line surface. As a result, the line passes more freely through the rod guides; providing longer and smooth casts.
3. Increased abrasion resistance.
4. Maintains tensile and knot strength longer.
5. Smooth and easier to handle: The precise and even line tension throughout the spooling process eliminates line twist and keeps the line smooth and supple and more in-round; thus the line is easier to handle when tying knots or adding terminal tackle.
6. The line performs better on spinning reels because it maintains less memory and handles easily.
We’ve been seeking a fishing line manufacturer for quite some time and found our perfect fit with Vicious. A top of the line product, outstanding value and great people,” commented Craig Butler, COO of EdgePoint Inc. “We’re really excited to have Vicious on board with us.”
