When a new product as radically different as the LineDancer® was first introduced, it seemed that the most curious people were those who could possibly use it in their profession. This page is devoted to those professionals who actively use and help us show others about the LineDancer® and its' benefits. The order I have listed these professionals is based on the chronological order in which each came to use the product. Tee Kitchens, professional guide
Tee was one of the first to call us after LineDancer® appeared in the Feb'98 BASSMASTER magazine. He placed an order by phone to try out for himself and it seems he has had nothing but praise ever since. Tee told us he caught a bass on his first cast using it with a rattling crank bait. He has since told us of instances where he had customers fishing with identical equipment (rod, reel, line, lure, etc.) and the one using the LineDancer® far out produced the other fisherman. who was fishing without it. Tee's Guide
Service Gary Hain, owner of "The Travelin'Fish Tanks" 1&2
He immediately saw the potential of the LineDancer®. In 1999, Gary demonstrated just how effective it is on increasing lure vibration to his audiences at some of the largest tackle shows on the circuit. If you see Gary's Tank at a show, be sure and stick around and attend his seminar. It will be both educational and entertaining too!

Danny Barnes has been fishing professionally for the past 22 years. He came across the LineDancer® on the web. I guess it seemed interesting enough for him to contact us about a sponsorship. What he liked most about the LineDancer® was its' ability to change lure presentation instantly. In most tournaments, all the contestants use similar baits since conditions (weather & water) usually dictate their choice of lures and fishing patterns. Danny told me that when he gets to a spot he feels might produce fish, he has to remind himself that he is probably the tenth fisherman to get there. In other words, he has to ask himself what can he do to make that bait look a little different. He has found that the LineDancer® added that difference in presentation that made the fish strike.

In the summer of 1999, Rich Komar (pictured at the right) contacted me. He had been surfing on the web one evening and came across the LineDancer web site. He was very interested in finding out if this little tool really worked. I sent him some samples and some videotape I had taken of lures being used with the LineDancer in Gary Hain's Fish Tank. In September'99 they aired a segment on new gadgets and featured the LineDancer on their "All Outdoors" television show which is broadcast in the Greater Chicagoland area. Both Rich and Don Dziedzina had very favorable comments about the LineDancer and did a very good job of explaining how it is installed on your rod and the some of ways it could benefit any angler. I want to thank Don and Rich for a job well done and encourage anyone living in their broadcast area to watch their program.You
can visit their web site at Mike Peluso: Professional Walleye Angler / Hockey Pro
Mike Peluso is very excited about the possibilities the LineDancer® has to offer his particular fishing style. Mike is not only a professional Walleye angler but is also #22 of the Portland Pirates of the American Hockey League. He was recently named to the 2000 AHL All-Start Team. Mike began his professional hockey career when the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League drafted him in 1994.
