ANGLING PROS ELIAS, WOLAK, MYERS AND GOLDBECK JOIN TEAM PINNACLE

TUSTIN, Calif., May 18, 2010 – Pinnacle Fishing has announced the addition of four accomplished BASS and FLW angling professionals – Paul Elias, Dave Wolak, Britt Myers and Grant Goldbeck – to its pro staff.

All of the new Pinnacle pros – including Elias, a Bassmaster Classic champion and all-time BASS heavyweight catch record holder, and Wolak, a former Bassmaster “Rookie of the Year” and winner of the Bassmaster American tournament in 2006 – have signed multi-year promotional contracts with the company. In addition to using Pinnacle reels and rods exclusively on the tournament trail, Elias, Wolak, Myers and Goldbeck are playing significant roles in the design of Pinnacle’s new Tournament Class tackle lineup, which will be unveiled at the industry’s ICAST trade show in July 2010.

“We’re thrilled to have such knowledgeable, talented anglers using Pinnacle gear and contributing their expertise toward the development of our state-of-the-art Tournament Class products,” said Charles Park, president of Pinnacle Fishing.

“Paul, Dave, Britt and Grant have helped us create what we consider to be the ‘ultimate’ selection of reels and rods for specific bass-fishing applications. Consumers will appreciate not only the professional-grade quality and performance, but also the surprisingly affordable pricing,” added Park.
