Since his first trip to the high sierras as a little boy, Mike Shaw has been an avid angler. In the early 90's Mike became fascinated with catching giant striped bass on trout imitating lures and went on to create the MS Slammer. Since then Mike has caught stripers to 38lbs, lake trout to 32lbs, largemouth bass to 10lbs and a 5 fish limit of Northern Strain largemouth that tipped the scales at over 32lbs. Mike enjoys all types of fishing from downrigger trolling, to casting, to shore fishing and saltwater. If there's a big fish on the west coast that would eat a Slammer, Mike has probably fished for it! Mike doesn't have a favorite Slammer color or size because he always loves to experiement and try new combinations!

Rob Belloni got turned on to the MS Slammer while fishing at Santa Margarita lake in the late 90's. A trip with Mike Shaw quickly convinced him that the MS Slammer was something special. Rob has since moved to Northern California where he enjoys chasing trophy largemouth and fishing team tournaments. Rob also enjoys tossing the Slammer for stripers in the surf south of San Francisco. Rob has over 50 largemouth over 10lbs and 5 team tournament wins since 2000. His personal best MS Slammer bass weighed in at 15.8lbs. Rob's favorite MS Slammer is the 9" original in dark rainbow. Slow and steady on top, ker-sploooooosh! |

Rob McComas has been fishing trout imitations and tournament bass fishing since the mid 90's. His current focus is guiding on the clear mountain lakes in North and South Carolina where his largest Slammer fish is a 10 lb. 12 oz. largemouth. Rob once caught a 6 fish stringer of bass on the Slammer that topped 42. lbs, and amazing catch in his local waters! Rob has caught all major bass species on swimbaits (largemouth, smallmouth spotted, and redeye), but his true passion is targeting giant smallmouth. Rob's favorite Slammer is the 9" original Light Rainbow.

Victor Fong is a multi-species angler who grew up in California but has spent time fishing across the country in places as varied as Nova Scotia, Kodiak Island, Lake Havasu, and the offshore waters of San Diego. In 2000 Victor got serious about bass fishing and spent over 150 days on the water. Victor's hard work paid off shortly thereafter with big bass to 13.52lbs on the CA Delta and multiple 40lb+ 5 fish limits taken on swimbaits in Northern California waters. In 2006 Victor and his partner captured the Angler of the Year title for the 100% Bass Delta Region, one of the most hotly contested team circuits in the west. Victor's largest bass on the MS Slammer was an 11.2lb toad. His favorite MS Slammer is the 9" X-3 in black with chartreuse or bubblegum tail. |
