American Tackle Shows in Magdeburg, Germany

The annual Ocean Angling Show saw participation from American Tackle's Dan Paluch, Oliver Schwenke from the Big Game Shop and Timo Keil from Rod Pro-Performance Components, all traveling to Magdeburg, Germany to exhibit.

The show was well attended as usual with interested anglers waiting in line for entry.

This year the focus of American Tackle was on the "Custom" aspect of fishing rods.

A variety of components were displayed as well as being featured on Oliver's RIFFSAU's series rods. The Big Game Shop (www.biggameshop.de) outfits high-end anglers traveling to exotic locations. Oli's rods showcase various colored anodized handle parts and solid titanium Ring Lock guides all geared toward extreme durability and performance, with style.  

Live rod building demonstrations were given by Dan Paluch and Timo Keil. Timo's company, Rod Pro-Performance Components (www.rodpro.de) is a leading American Tackle distributor, specializing in custom rod building components for individual builders as well as shops and businesses throughout Europe. Building rods during the show proved incredibly effective in introducing the public to the meaning of "custom" in custom rods. Many had no idea of how fishing rods are built and had never been exposed to options in handles, guides and especially colors to order.  

As reported by Dan Paluch, "another successful showing in Magdeburg!" American Tackle Company thanks Oliver Schwenke & Timo Keil for the opportunity to work alongside of them introducing custom rods to the anglers of Germany.
