As such, it has a fascinating history within the tackle industry. . ." — Fishing Tackle Trade News, Dec. 92 Date Line: Kalamazoo, Michigan 1896 – William Shakespeare, Jr., an avid fisherman of 27 years, wanted to improve on existing fishing reels so he came up with a device for winding fishing line evenly back on the spool. William designed the level-wind reel and his new design was superior to anything on the market. As a result, this feature is now common on most fishing reels.

Coleman could see the light for the darkness. The young salesman was taking a stroll after a hard day’s work selling typewriters, and spotted a new type of lamplight in a drugstore window in Brockton, Alabama. This new light burned with a strong, steady white flame and was fueled by gasoline. The standard lamp of the era burned kerosene and produced a smoky, flickering, yellowish light. W.C. was stricken with very poor eyesight, and was very interested in this new, steady white light that enabled him to read even the smallest print in books and on medicine bottles. Coleman saw potential in the new light, and through his vision a new company was born that would put America’s farms and ranches in a new light, and would eventually make his name synonymous with outdoor fun. To meet the growing demand for quality and reliability, Andrea Collini and Claudio Giani, owners of COLMIC Italia, have decided to invest more financial resources into the company’s structure. In November 2005, COLMIC Italia became a Joint Stock Company (S.p.A.) and its capital was increased five-fold. This change in the company’s structure represents a guarantee for both the staff and the customers and enables COLMIC Italia to look with confidence at the new challenges posed by the global market. Already today COLMIC Italia is able to meet the increasingly stringent requirements imposed by the Community Directives. The new products of the COLMIC’s 2008 range will project us into this new way. 125 years of tradition, innovation and quality- - 125 years of D.A.M. The ironmongery, sport and fishing-tackle business begun in 1875 by the brothers Oskar and Fritz Ziegenspeck soon began to produce its own brandof fishingtackles, and in 1902 it began its assault on the European market under the name "German fishing equipment manufacturers" the initials of which in German are D.A.M. In 1909, just as Fritz Ziegenspeck was retiring, Otto Kuntze joined the company which at that time already had extensive business connections in England, France, America, Russia and Japan. With great skill Otto Kuntze succeeded not only in bringing the company successfully through the First World War but together with the help of his son Hellmuth, he expanded the business. Already 1937 saw the production of the "Pocket Catalogue for Everyman", and together with the production of the first fixed-spool "Quick" reel and the world innovation that was Damyl line (both existing brand names today ) D.A.M began to set the international standard. In the late 30s production and sales were so high that a subsidiary group was established in Hollfeld/Bavaria, that later moved to Gunzenhausen where it was expanded. At this time D.A.M. employed over 350 workers. This phase of expansion was interrupted by the Second World War. Otto Kuntze did not see the destruction of the company headquarters in 1945 as he died in 1943. Hellmuth Kuntze led the new beginning and the re-building of D.A.M. in the post-war years. With incredible industry and initiative and in the face of political, technical and economic difficulties, the firm was re-established in Berlin. On November 11th 1955 the opening of a new modern factory in Gunzenhausen was celebrated. This is the D.A.M headquarter. A boom period followed that nobody in the war years could have foreseen. Hellmuth Kuntze died however in 1967 following a long period of illness. The sons Lutz and Rupert Kuntze continued their fathers work in the business and achieved that today D.A.M. has an important market share in a lot of countries and kept its excellent reputation for quality and well-known brands. Already in 1973 D.A.M. offered as first supplier in whole Europe rods made of carbon material. This introduction of a complete new product to German retailers took place on the international trade fair SPOGA in K?ln. In her more than 100 years lasting history D.A.M. has not only experienced several different development phases in fishing tackle, but has developed itself to a leading trend-setter with high quality claims. Just a few dreams of fishermen which have been realized by D.A.M.: "Quick spinning reels", all over the world a synonym for quality "Made in Germany". More than 50 years "Quick" fishing reel technology and therefore long years of experience in development and manufacturing of fishing reels. "DAMYL", the first German synthetic trademark line. First patent was established in 1940 at the German Patent Bureau and is still successful after more than 60 years. "AIRWAY", the famous trademark for telescopic rods with short transportation length. Continually improved, these carbon rods belong to the absolutely high quality products. "EFFZETT" lures, millionfold approved and original only by D.A.M. All these trademarks are highly successful D.A.M. products, which have written fishing history. In September 1975 D.A.M. celebrated it´s centennial existence. Since moving the company from Berlin to Gunzenhausen the company was also successful in gaining the top place in European fishing tackle business. Long before the European Trademarket was established in 1993, D.A.M. founded their own branches in all western European countries for serving the customer better and faster deliveries. Since the eastern European markets have been opened up, D.A.M. has also here successfully take a top position. After Lutz and Rupert Kuntze sold the company 1995 due to reasons of age to the Dutch trading house Borsumji, which was taken over shortly afterwards by Hagemeyer, another Dutch firm group, a turbulent and unpleasant period of time started for the company. After another change of the owner beginning of 2001 the company was chased into insolvency already in the middle of 2001. But only one year later a group of longtime employees together with some export customers was successful in forming the company in a new way and started the Neue D.A.M. International from September 2002 on. Through gaining Lars Svendsen Holding ApS as a new and strong partner for the new D.A.M. a pursuit started in November 2003 to gain back market with one clearly stated aim: Being No. 1 in Europe again!!! In the late 1970's, carp anglers DEL Romang and KIM Donaldson put their names together to form DELKIM. The business was initially formed to give Del & Kim the credibility to obtain bait making ingredients and flavourings for themselves, which at that time could not be purchased from tackle shops. It is a little known fact that Del & Kim played a major part in discovering some famous early bait flavourings before they were generally available including Cream, now known as Scopex, Strawberry, Spice "B" etc. Based in Llanfairfechan, North Wales, Dexter Products have been manufacturing small metal and plastic products since 1922.During this time we have acquired the knowledge and experience to make things that do the job well. We have been manufacturing swivels and lures since 1975 and have never been deflected from producing the highest quality products. Dexter Products have been manufacturing in the United Kingdom for over 80 years and set up the production of swivels in Sri Lanka in 1979. Here at Dick Clegg's Internet Tackle shop we have a wealth of experience and knowledge which has been used by Dick and his staff to offer you top quality, value for money fishing tackle.

We are a long established company who have developed a team of people dedicated to the design, development & manufacture of innovative products produced at our own plant in Aldridge West Midlands. We pride ourselves in reacting to customers requirements offering a first class service. We hope browsing this site will give you an insight into how we think and our general philosophy on modern carp baits. As Northern anglers we like to think that we put that little bit extra into our fishing and also believe it shows through our baits. Our baits are certainly not the cheapest on the market, but not by a long shot are they anywhere near the most expensive. What we do offer is a range of high quality products, at a competitive price, that are proven to catch fish. Not to mention a personal service that supports you, as not only a valued customer but as an angler. We believe that the more you understand about how we tick the more likely you are to commit to entrusting us to supply your bait. We understand that bait is a very personal thing.That’s why we will do all we can to give you the confidence that you’re using a bait someone actually cares about. Each order that goes out, large or small, receives the same high level of attention as the last and the one that follows. In our eyes consistency is key. It’s extremely important to us that you’re happy with the bait you receive.Otherwise what’s the point as we’ve failed. We aim to take any reservations you had about your previous baits effectiveness out of the scenario. With time often limited for todays carpers, when you do manage to get out you’re entitled to be able to sit back and know that your bait is working for you, not against you! We always work by a motto . . . . “Quality to the core”. This means that by using our baits, you have our guarantee that you’re using quality baits made from only the freshest ingredients, right through to the core. Over 35 years of combined carping experience has taught us that we want baits that are still going to retain a food signal hours and even days after it’s been introduced.This only comes from using the finest natural powdered ingredients and ensures we keep any synthetic flavours to an absolute minimum. There is a time and place for flavours certainly, but wherever possible we prefer our attraction ‘au naturel’ style built right into the core of the bait. This creates a unique taste profile and ensures the fish keep coming back time and time again. An incredible amount of effort goes into balancing the profiles of these baits to ensure that the carp are getting as much out of the bait as possible. It’s not possible for these baits to ‘blow’ and we don’t bring new baits out just for the sake of it. The whole range works and works well. A quick discussion with a member of our team will help you decide which is the one for your own fishing. Again, many thanks for taking the time to read this and may your line always be tight in the future.

All NG floats are very strong and will last far longer than anything commercially available. The best quality materials are used. Side eyes are glued in securely and on bagging floats a new type of spring eye is fitted that will not damage the line. I use a variety of materials to construct the float bodies including two types of very hard foam and balsa, these are totally sealed so it will not take on water. All floats are brush painted by hand with five coats, including two of a special "Hard Coat" that is unique to my floats making them one of the most durable available. Floats can be made with black tips on request. Each week tens of thousands of anglers spread across the globe go fishing using Fox International tackle. We now have brands in the coarse, match, carp, predator and sea markets and Fox International is firmly established as one of the leading tackle manufacturers in Europe. But, it all had to start somewhere, and for Fox International that ‘somewhere’ was in Essex, UK, when Cliff Fox (who still heads up the company) launched his first ever Fox International angling product – a metal ruler showing size limits of certain species of fish caught in UK matches (when anglers had to fish to a set of size limit rules). Sales were good, encouraging Cliff to produce more products from his small rented workshop close to the company’s current HQ in Hainault, Essex. The first product to bear the ‘Fox’ name was a metal baitdropper, in the year 1967 – over 40 years ago. The rest, as they say, is history. The company is now the largest privately owned tackle firm in Europe, and currently sells products in 30 countries, including the USA and Russia. The big product launches of the modern day Fox International are Stratos Magnesium reels, MSB seatboxes and SFD carp rods. Basic products like the metal ruler have now been replaced by electronic Micron bite alarms. Times have certainly changed. The company soon outgrew its original rented workshop, forcing the move to its UK headquarters. But, as the company continued to expand it was forced to open up a huge European distribution plant in Meer, on the Belgium/Holland border, whilst retaining the UK office as the company’s headquarters. Fox International now employs over 100 people, spread across the UK and Europe, including a dedicated on-the-road sales team, a team of leading angling consultants, design department and an impressive CAD product development team. And, unlike many other tackle manufacturers, Fox International continues to innovate to ensure anglers around the world are given the option of using the best fishing tackle possible. Fox remains a truly international brand! Frenzee is a UK based design and manufacturing company which was formed to produce a range of accessories for the pole angler.

Undeterred by freezing temperatures, Dutch Mainline Team member Jeroen Flokstra made his way down to Abbey Lakes, France recently and was rewarded for his efforts, big time! Over to Jeroen to take up this report: "I travelled to Abbey for 2 nights. My first was on Fox Lake in peg 14 and I was really happy to have 3 fish up to 38lb on Cell boilies. I then moved over to H?ron Lake after the ice was gone and jumped into peg 14 for the day, but decided to move to peg 9 for the night and had this stunner at 56lbs 11ozs!!! It was around 01:00 o'clock and was a bit difficult with the remote from the camera, but I can live with this pic. Another Abbey carp loving my Cell boilies! Happy Days!"

Trakker Products are designed with whole life use in mind and we know that the extra investment you make at day one can be measured in the use over time and even in the value on resale. Keep on keeping on - research and development. You cannot underestimate the effect on the research and development of new products and the continual programme of improvements on existing ranges that 25 years worth of carp angling experience has. Trakker Products invest heavily in live trialling in all weather conditions to ensure our products don’t let you down.
