2006 ISE Show - San Mateo |
The ISE celebrates its 30 year anniversary in style by showcasing new tackle
in San Mateo, CA (continued)
Quantum:
After covering Quantum’s new
products at ICAST and last week’s Fred Hall Show we were surprised as we walked
by the Quantum booth at ISE. The Quantum team informed us that they just
received some new products. That immediately caught our attention and we found
ourselves once again inside their booth to check out "what’s new." This time it
was all about their rods.
The Tour Edition PT
Signature Series is all new for 2006. Quantum worked with their pro-staff to
build each and every one of these sticks. Each rod was prototyped, tested, and
then tweaked some more until each professional angler who includes Kevin VanDam,
Shaw Grisby, Gary Klein, Mike Wurm, Dean Rojas, Paul Elias, and Gerald Swindle
were happy with the end results. You will find one or two of these exciting rods
per anglers, built to their specifications and their favorite techniques, and
have very good detailing and craftsmanship. These bass rods are targeted towards
specific applications that range from finesse to froggin’ to swimbait fishing.
These rods are launching now and will be widely available at local and online
stores retailing for $179 and below.
