    Yes - 2 years ago - and offered to give them a case of each size for every one of their stores for FREE to start it off. I tried all the big chains and get told "Not at this time". Maurice Sporting Goods Distributors is the biggest supplier of fishing tackle and if they don't want you in the game your screwed. They are not only the biggest distributor they are also closely connected with a manufacturer of fishing tackle. Ever hear of South Bend Tackle. They are headquartered in the Sears Tower with Maurice - MONOPOLY - is harsh word but with enough marketing money I could force my way in. It worked for banjo minow! I no longer buy any fishing tackle from a chain store. Mom and pop stores need our support, not the chains, that monopolize the markets with their knock offs.

    I'm really not that bitter but it was a learning curve that hurt me!

    Glad to see your doing well my friend, I came across this thread by accident and I'm sure glad I did.
    You joined CC the same time I did and I remember quite well how the good and gracious folks here at CC. ran you off,calling you a spammer and reference to other sites,when you were trying to introduce your product.
    I'm very pleased to see that no one discouraged you and that you are finding success.
    Kinda teaches a lesson. "Stick to it,Follow your dream"
    Good Luck in the future Sir.

    I ordered my set of 4 this morning. I have been looking for some planer boards, these look compact easy to store and are about the same price as 2 of the more bulky style planer boards. Besides Made In The USA. and money back guarantee. The price has dropped from what is stated in this quote they are now $38.50 for 4 DualFins.

    You need a 1/4" thick piece of pine or cedar, some outdoor wood glue, a WD40 spray tube and a toothpick or a split-shot for slip-rigging. You'll need a scroll saw and a drill. Put on a coat of water proof paint or deck sealer by spray or brush. I made my first one in about 40 minutes.





    You can print the pattern to scale and paste it on the board (with the grain) and cut with a scroll saw. Drill the hole to press fit in a piece of WD40 tubing.

    If you want to make a large size you can print the pattern twice scale and use 1/2" pine.

    I have a patent and make some out of plastic called the BulletBobber in 4 sizes 2", 2.5", 3" and 4". I also have some 6" long called the DualFin made out of a tough foam that only weigh 1 ounce. The DualFin is a clip-on in-line planer board where as the line needs to be threaded thru the BulletBobber. It is OK to make them for personal use or to give away as gifts but please don't sell them - it is only fair considering what I have put into it. But giving out plans to make them during hard times is only fair too. I know some folks must fish to eat - been there done that - and could be there again!

    I am running a special thru Fathers Day - 4 DualFins for $50 and free shipping!
