ProLine Passing on ICAST
ProLine Fishing has decided not to exihibit at this year's ICAST show in Orlando, July 15-17. We came to this decision after looking at the costs involved, as well as sales from last year's show in Las Vegas, at which we did exhibit. We find the costs of exhibiting at the show to be quite high, and showing little to no sales return. Last year, we went through considerable expense to attend the show in Las Vegas, and discovered attendance to be down from year before, and potential new customers had already made their plans and purchase commitments prior to the show. In addition, the membership dues associated with the ASA's business model make it exteremely hard on smaller companies such as ourselves. While we will not be exhibiting at the show, we will be in attendance in Orlando to facilitate some face to face meetings.

Revised Warranty Procedures
Effective today, ProLine has revised it's warranty program in an effort to make things run smoother, and provide consistent warranty service to our consumers. We have been made aware that some retailers did not understand the warranty coverage, or the proper procedure, and thus consumers were receiving confusing and often conflicting information.
Our new policy now states that all warranty claims are to be conducted directly with ProLine, unless the retailer where you purchased your product has an over-the-counter replacement program. If you are in doubt, you can check the warranty page on our product websites to see a list of retailers providing this service. If your retailer has an over-the-counter warranty replacement program, you return the item to the store in which you purchased it for replacement. All other claims need to follow the procedure listed on our warranty pages, and return product to ProLine for evaluation.
If you are in doubt, or have further questions regarding the policy, you can write, email, or call us - we'll be happy to assist you. See our contact page for details.

2008 Products Now Shipping
ProLine Fishing has begun shipments of 2008 Roland Martin Tournament Grade I and Mr. Walleye Series rods to retailers and distributors.
The brand-new Roland Martin line has seen high interest from retail and consumers alike. Initial ordering has been strong, and we are fielding many requests from retailers to carry the product line. We expect increasing interest throughout the 1st quarter as consumer awareness of the line increases, especially with Roland's use of the rods in his "Fishing with Roland Martin" show on Versus.
Our Mr. Walleye products have also experienced strong demand so far this year, as we added 3 new models to the base line, and 5 new Superpro models. The rod series finished with better than expected sales for 2007, and we expect to grow by another 30% during 2008 as well.
Currently we are working with Roland on new products for the 2009 season, to include some items outside the Bass market. We are also set to introduce a wide range of additions to the Mr. Walleye product lines, to include some specialty rods for the saltwater market, and some great new products for the spring freshwater market. We are also going to introduce Gary's ice rods for the 2008-9 winter season shortly.
Further information is available by contacting us directly.
