Heads up for 2006

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give you an update on the "goings on" down here at Lamar. We have several things that are happening that we feel will benefit all of you guys.

1. Full Catolog available later this year with many new products.

2. ThreadMaster CP; Were VERY close on this....got 2 samples in last Friday that are far better than anything that is currently on the market. Just need to tweak a few things to get it perfect. I am hoping by summer to have this available for sale.

3. Website is undergoing a facelift and many updates.

4. Stephen Pratt at CTS has given me the freedom to totally re-vamp the current CTS catolog to better suit the American Market. Very soon you'll find all blanks with more accurate line and lure ratings as well as a more user friendly layout (with application divisions) to find exactly the blank you need. In addition the prices on the CTS product have been lowered a bit from last year...especially the multi-piece configs.

5. We'll also be picking up the Fuji line of components this summer. Which will just about make us a full service "one stop shop".

6. There are a few other things happening as well, but I don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet.


Thanks again for your support....it's much appreciated

If ThreadMaster CP is half as good as ThreadMaster finish, then it will be excellent.......Hope you get in a walk in shop soon. I live pretty close.......smile........

A belated praise for ThreadMaster finish epoxy: Bought some in Charlotte and tried it. It's the best I've used so far! Crystal clear and with a favorable set-up time. Great stuff. Also tried it for my first attempts at marbling. Works great for that also.

Looking forward to the ThreadMaster CP.

Stan
