exhibits in First Chinese Trade Show:

CGC Expo

The CGC Expo is held in Weihai city, China, the largest fishing gear manufacturing base in the world and is responsible for producing 80% of the fishing tackle products in the world.  More than 600 fishing gear manufacturers are located in Weihai.  CGC Expo was born in 2008 in Weihai.  Furthermore, the Chinese domestic market demands are huge and in the past three years during the CGC Expo, numerous Chinese buyers from all over the country have visited the show, including wholesalers, retailers and fishing tackle shops. 

American Tackle participated in its first Asian Tackle show exhibiting its sensational new MicroWave Line Control System. Buyer after buyer confirmed that the Microwave System is the best casting system ever invented. Many visitors to the booth took rods with the MicroWave Guide System and a conventional guide train and test casted both. All agreed the MicroWave was smoother, cast further with less effort. They will revolutionize the way we fish!

Company founder Joe Meehan and Asian Operations Manager Jessica Lee were busy from opening to closing. Many customers loved the titanium guides on display. The Titan guides with the all new HyperLite rings are less expensive than Fuji's SS/SiC guides. Titanium has been long associated with expensive rods but with AT's lower priced titanium, they can now be used on mid market rods without sacrificing quality. The Titan's are not only much lighter and more flexible than Stainless Steel,  they will never, ever corrode.

Company founder Joe Meehan stated, "We are making a big push into the China market and are committed to doing both the CGC and China Fish show every year and branding our product throughout Asia."
