NEW PINNACLE VISION® SLYDER MAKES DELIVERING THE PERFECT FINESSE PRESENTATION AN EASY TASK Advanced yet affordable baitcaster boasts innovative Finesse Wheel. Also features 7:1 retrieve for high-speed fishing situations. TUSTIN, Calif., Jan. 21, 2010 The new Pinnacle Vision® Slyder Baitcaster ushers in a new era of finesse-fishing ease, precision and control. Featuring Pinnacle's exclusive Finesse Wheel, the Vision Slyder lets you work a lure along the bottom in exacting increments, effortlessly, using just one hand. The Finesse Wheel operates just like the scrolling wheel on a computer mouse, allowing you to create the ultimate finesse presentations. Simply advance the wheel with your thumb to move a plastic worm or creature bait slowly and enticingly over structure. Even sluggish bass will find this kind of tantalizing action hard to resist. Faster, continuous pushes of the wheel let you pick up slack line quickly and easily. When the fish are more active, you'll also have the Vision Slyder's blazing 7:1 gear ratio at your fingertips. Use this speedy retrieve for ripping reaction baits back to the boat and covering large areas of water in a hurry. Regardless of the situation or presentation, you can count on the Vision Slyder for outstanding durability and quality performance. Six stainless steel bearings housed within the Slyder's lightweight, yet rugged, graphite frame ensure smooth operation under all conditions. There's also an externally adjustable anti-backlash system for long, trouble-free casts, plus an ultra-consistent multi-disc drag for putting the brakes on determined adversaries. Additional Vision Slyder features include a machined aluminum spool, precision-cut brass gears, and Unlimited Anti-Reverse. SPECIFICATIONS: Item Bearings Gear Ratio Weight Line Cap. SYF10X 5BB + 1RB 7:1 8.1 oz. 12/120 With an MSRP of just $69.99, the Vision Slyder is not only an innovative, versatile fishing machine, it's also an exceptional value.

J Francho: Thanks for your question. It appears you might not be familiar with our entire Pinnacle Fishing lineup. In addition to our value-priced reels/rods, we also offer a complete selection of highly advanced, smooth-functioning and extremely durable products built to meet the needs of serious bass anglers. Check out our top-of-the-line Vision XLT and Scion Select baitcasters, for example. Unlike some companies, we actually design, engineer and manufacture all of our products. We also ensure that only the highest quality materials and components are used. At present, we're working with our top BASS Elite Series pro-staffers on a new series of Pinnacle Tournament Class reels and rods. This custom-quality gear (which will be launched at the next ICAST tackle show in July), is being built to the exact specifications of these top pros. However, unlike our competitors, we'll be keeping the price of this state-of-the-art tackle within reach of the average angler. The difference is, at Pinnacle, we don't think you should have to pay an arm and a leg for advanced, tournament-grade reels and rods. Keep an eye out for our new Tournament Class series at tackle dealers in early 2011. Good Fishing! Pinnacle1
