Secret Weapon in the news

“From the press release:

"“Secret Weapon will be the premiere spinnerbait on the market by spring, and now the anglers fishing ABA will gain a serious advantage over their competition”, said David Hagood, VP, American Bass Anglers."

"In the past couple of years, we’ve created quite a stir in the Midsouth region of the U.S. Our growth in sales has come from anglers who tried our spinnerbaits and proved their value on the water—and then told their buddies,” says Joe Haubenreich, President of Secret Weapon Lures. “Now we want to see our buzzbaits and spinnerbaits tied on the lines of the best bass anglers across the U.S. We believe ABA is the organization that can help us do that”."

We've been wanting to work with ABA for some time. Bob and I have always appreciated their work with veterans and active duty military, and one of our initiatives is to provide rewards for the seven competing service teams. ABA's 2005 national championship is next week in Shreveport, and we'll kick off our sponsorship there.

ABA members who participate in the SWL/ABA Pro Rewards Program will compete for tackle packs each month.... every program participant throughout the year who places first in a divisional tournament will receive a $50 starter kit. Those names are then put in the hat for a monthly drawing, and the person whose name is drawn takes home an additional $500 in cash that month.

ABA has about 22,000 active members, I believe, and we're hoping to get our lures into the tackle boxes and on the lines of a good number of them.

I wish I could say your experience happens every time our lure goes head-to-head against another spinnerbait (it doesn't, of course), but whenever I read an account like yours I'm delighted. Thanks.

I took my father in-law up to Mohawksin last weekend for our annual fall muskie outing. I was throwing a secret weapon spinnerbait in firetiger. In 4 hours I boated 2 nice muskies and a bunch of pike and smallmouth. My father in-law threw every spinnerbait he had in his tackle box but didn't catch anything. When it was time to leave he told me that for Christmas he wanted whatever kind of spinnerbait it was that I was fishing as it must be some kind of magic lure. Guess you'll be getting an order soon.
