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

Just for fun I thought I would give away a 2 pack of tickets to the Mobile show.  So to determine the winner, I will ask an Everol trivia 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 away a FREE Reel on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so stop by the booth and register to win.

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.

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

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.

=====================

Was the contest gay or should we do it again?  There won't be under-handed pitches that can be hit out of the park with a 10 second Google.  That isn't fair because it comes down to whomever is online first.  But it will be info that is available online.
