Salmo Lures Join MWC Family of Sponsors MINNETONKA, MN -
The Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit, or MWC, has been a driving
force in team walleye tournament fishing for over 20 years. This prestigious
tournament trail consists of six qualifying events and a championship.
For the 2005 season, the MWC is proud to announce that Salmo Performance
Fishing Lures will be joining the other long-term MWC sponsors who
have made this one of the most successful team tournament trails in
the country. Salmo Performance Fishing Lures, are made in Poland and
in 15 years have risen to be the #2 crankbait company in Europe. Salmo
Lures are famous for their life-like finishes and reliable performance.
Names like the Hornet, Sting, Bullhead, Teno, Perch, Minnow and Chubby
Darter will soon become common to walleye anglers who want to use
the best designed crankbaits in the world. "Salmo is so proud of lures
we build, we offer a Performance Guarantee on all of our lures," stated
Tom Zenanko, VP of Sales and Marketing for Salmo-USA which is based
in Minneapolis. "If at any time your Salmo lures fails to run true
or breaks, we will replace it free of charge. I know the Salmo name
will be new to most anglers in the USA, but in Europe and around the
world, they are very well respected. We hope that our support of the
MWC will get us off to a big start with serious walleye anglers."
"We are very happy to add Salmo to our MWC family of sponsors. It
is exciting to know that Salmo Lures will be using the MWC to target
their great products at the walleye marketplace," noted Kristine Houtman,
Director of Events & Sponsorships for the MWC. "The MWC anglers will
now be exposed to a completely new product line of high quality crankbaits
- and we hope they embrace it - test it out - and spread the word
from there." "I have fished MWC events in the past and know MWC anglers
are very particular about their lures, demanding the highest quality
and performance in the products they use" stated Zenanko. "We think
the walleye world will be blown away by Salmo. In fact, it already
has developed a kind of a cult following with some walleye anglers
now." With over 700 models to choose from, Salmo will soon be a dominate
player in the United States marketplace. To learn more about Salmo,
