I just wanted to let the locals know that EVEROL fishing reels, which recently moved to Mobile from Miami, will be at the Mobile Boat Show (FEB21-24) and also at the Louisiana Sportsmen's Show (MAR 6-9).

We will have a large booth and plenty of reels to see and touch...and buy if you are so inclined. Butin any case please stop by the booth, shake my hand and introduce yourself.

Just for fun I thought I would give away a2 pack of tickets to the Mobile show. So to determine the winner, I will ask an Everoltrivia question and the first one to respond on this GENERAL forum with the correct answer will be the winner. You can email me (EverolUSA@yahoo.com) your name and address and I will pop the tickets in the mail tomorrow or as soon as we have a winner. If you guys don't think the contest is dorky, maybe we can have more in the coming days.

QUESTION: What is the first and last name of Everol's founder? Bonus Question: Name the Year Everol was started and I will make it a 4 pack of tickets.

Oh by the way, for those that are coming to the Mobile Boat Show,I am giving awaya FREE Reel on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so stop by the booth and register to win.

[/B]Otto Henze, the founder of Penn Fishing Tackle, designed his first reel in the late 1920s and helped revolutionize the sport of fishing around the world. The Henze family built Penn reels for 70 years before selling the company in 2003. Despite this change in leadership, Penn continues to deliver steadfast power for big-game anglers. Penn International reels, known for their toughness, have many world-record catches to their credit. You will also find Internationals around the globe because these reels are easy to maintain, and finding parts for them is painless.

I tried to look it up I did'nt find anything yet.

Daughter and SIL and Grandson live in Mobile. Think I'll take the wife and them gives me a reason to try and sell them on a newer bigger boat.

Everol built its first big-game reel in 1958 to target the Mediterranean's bluefin tuna off Italy. The manufacturer devised a simple yet effective drag system that uses physics to take the guesswork out of drag settings. As a fish pulls line off a reel, the diameter of line on the spool gets progressively smaller, causing the drag to increase. Everol places three sets of numbers under the lever drag that correspond to the amount of line on the spool as indicated by notches on the spool itself. The outermost, largest number represents the pounds of drag at full spool, the middle number equals the pressure at medium spool and the smallest number, the drag at an almost empty spool. For example, a 6/0 Everol set with 14 pounds of initial drag would have 21 pounds of drag when half-spooled.

Everol offers a complete lineup of one- and two-speed offshore reels made from anticorrosive materials in a unibody construction. The drag systems feature stainless and carbon-fiber discs for superior power and a large surface area. The company is known for building some truly huge reels and plans on introducing an 18/0 Unlimited designed for 200- to 300-pound test and capable of 100 pounds of drag. This reel will offer more line capacity than the company's 14/0, previously the largest reel in production. Everol currently offers nine sizes of one-speed lever-drag reels from 2.5/0 to 14/0, ranging from $310 to $725. There are eight two-speed reels, including a 2.5/0, 4/0, 6/0, 6/0-wide, 9/0, 9/0-wide, 12/0 and 14/0. Prices range from $409 to $885. For more information, visit www. Everol.com or call 305-968-5334.

Otto is not it, but I wonder what he would say about the current company and products. Mr.Coffee and CrockPot is probably not what he had in mind.

Todd, I look forward to meeting you. I have boat dealer concept that might also work with your business model.

All I could find:

EVEROL was established in Modena, Italy in 1958 of the experience of a group of fisherman, all big game lovers, and a highly trained staff who put their technical know how into the project.
