Chris Wong, BCS Enterprise Ltd:
"I had intentionally kept away from soft baits because of the large number of competing brands quickly flooding into NZ.
My personal efforts were spent in developing the jigging market at that time. I felt that to exist in the soft bait market, any product I got behind would need to be exceptional to compete against the market leaders at that time.
We found it in SLAM!
My relationship with Richard Dobbinson and his with Geoff Curley of Bite Time Baits was pivotal in swinging over the distributorship of SLAM to my company. Our combined synergies have resulted in an, initially small, range of baits and colours that are well proven in NZ. Early field testing aboard Assassin with other leading softbait exponents has proven that Geoff was on the right track and that SLAM had arrived!
What I find remarkable is Geoff''s and Janet''s steely resolve to present a bio-degradable product incorporating the Stimulate pheromone that had been designed, packaged and tested on NZ fish; all within a space of 2 years.
Other competitors have taken many more years to achieve a less remarkable product. We are taking our time in developing new baits and accessories but we are always open to suggestions or initiatives from Kiwis that might improve our products or create new ones.
Meanwhile SLAM''s first 20lber goes to Andy Hope who caught a 24.7lb moocher in deep foul off SW Little Barrier recently.
He and his mate were catching regular sized snapper when the monster scoffed his SLAM Bubblegum Minnow.
I am amazed by how quickly the NZ market has taken to the SLAM product. They are performing well past expectations and that there are more baits per packet also makes them the most economical on the market."
