This program started with a limited edition Heddon lure kit last year. This year, Bomber Lures is providing the Lure for a Cure kit. It features three limited edition Bomber Pro Model Suspending jerkbaits in colors designed by top pros - Terry Segraves, Peter Thilveros and the legendary Roland Martin. The lures work in fresh and saltwater. "My immediate family has not been touched by cancer, but seeing friends go through it, I plan to do my best to keep it that way," stated Roland Martin of his involvement with the Lure for a Cure kit. Sales proceeds from each lure kit will go to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, started in 1993 by ESPN and Jim Valvano, the popular basketball coach and commentator who lost his battle with cancer 11 years ago. Nick Valvano, brother of Jim Valvano and V Foundation CEO, applauded the anglers and companies who have committed themselves to fighting the disease. "The fight against cancer will be won by people - people who take the time to get involved. We are honored and deeply appreciative that the people of the sport fishing industry - fans, anglers and corporate sponsors, have joined us to raise funding for essential cancer research." The Lure for a Cure kit is now available on-line at www.lurenet.com, priced at $14.95. As part of the announcement of the new lure kit, The V Foundation was presented a check for $10,000 representing contributions derived from the sale of the first Lure for a Cure Kit. Also an additional $40,000 was raised for The V Foundation from the Kissimmee-St Cloud Convention and Visitors Bureau's annual Angling Against Cancer Benefit Dinner and Tournament. Entering its fifth year, the Angling Against Cancer fundraiser held each November in Kissimmee, brings together many of the sport's top pros who attend a benefit dinner and fish alongside local sponsors to help raise money for the fight against cancer.

The skunkings and days when all goes wrong, they are easy to forget. The special days that exceed our expectations we will always smilingly remember. These highs and lows we all experience in our fishing performance, they can occur on any given day and are irregular aberrations, albeit good or bad. When we don't include the oddly high and low days, how evenly do we perform on a regular basis? That consistency level maintained across an entire season is a truer measure for an individual or a team. This is why wrapping up the Rhode Island BASS Team of the Year for Joel St. Germain and team partner Mike Martin is so impressive. Thirty-three teams fished the Rhode Island tournament trail this year. Out of four events, Joel and Mike had two first places and finished third twice. To Joel and Mike, Yamamoto baits were a major component of their success. Over the course of the season, two Yamamoto baits were mainstays of their arsenal. Tips to improve your performance across the entire season for all Rhode Islanders from BASS Federation's Joel St. Germain, written by James Gildea, are at: http://www.carolinachip.com/Joel_Team_Year.htm __________________________________________________ REEL REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE SIMPLIFIED ON NEW VIDEO Finally, reel repair and maintenance techniques have been simplified.

Connie and Tommy have more than demystified the disassembling, cleaning, repairing and reassembling of today's technologically advanced fishing reels; even more importantly, they've made the entire process simple enough for anyone to learn. With the cost of today's fishing reels skyrocketing and the cost of maintenance keeping pace, this video will more then pay for itself the very first time its techniques are put into use. "Fishing Reel Maintenance" ($29.95 DVD, $24.95 VHS) does not stop at just disassembly, cleaning and reassembly; it offers a wealth of valuable information on the identification and function of reel components, and how they work together. It also includes a helpful chart of "Simple Solutions for Common Problems", tips for general reel maintenance and a useful log for tracking all maintenance records.
