Location: Berlin | Sad to say, the price of goods has gone up so high that we are shutting down the drop-n-stay website tonight. The price of the cord alone has gone up 6 times what I used to pay for it and it was expensive to begin with. It was a great experience and I want to say thanks to a lot of you here as well as WalleyeFirst. Thank you so much for all you have done for me, it was greatly appreciated. I got to meet a lot of great people from literally all over the world and would not trade the experience for anything. Thanks again all! |

| Rich, sorry to hear of your decision. From what I have read you had a good product. With costs being what they are I can totally understand why you would get out. Being married to a business is even harder when you can't make any money.
Best of luck in the future.  |

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Times they be a changing Rich. And I'm afraid not for the better. I'm hoping this wasn't your total business income. I'll not spike the political football here, but just say we may need some new hope and change before none of us recognize the world we grew up in. |

Location: Berlin | Thanks for the kind words guys. We had a great run. I was only doing this on the side as my family owns a Machine shop that employs close to 40 people. The business was taking off drastically and I was finding it hard to keep up with the orders. As dumb as it sounds it is almost a blessing in disguise. Between my family, my job and fishing I just did not have the time needed. Once I got my last invoice for cord, it was a no brainer.
Not sure what I will have left guys so I am not making any promises. I have quite a few orders to fill yet and my dealers need to be taken care of as well.
Thanks again for all the kind words! |

| i have to say, This is the best equipment in my boat when i fish sitting still. Rich if your still filling orders keep it up or SELL. Everything is going up these days. Heck a #1 at mac&D's is $7 out here. It's always hard to raise prices but put me down for a duece as well. I really don't want to pay E-Bay prices in the future... lol
Good Luck
Tyee |

You coming up for the Walleye University? We might have to hit the town again: "Lock up your daughters, we are gonna hit it and quit it" -Raj Your 6 figure contract with me will remained unchanged for this year but then I got to drop you. We had a good run :D Thanks for the kind words, I hope all is going well for you. |
