Here are some more information for Gear Sprocket Red:

When trolling lures for Blue marlin aboard 'Bite Me', we run a standard spread of four lures off bent butt chair rods and use Penn International 80STWs. We run a long and short corner from the transom rod holders and a long and short rigger from the chair. Sometimes we run a teaser such as a spreader bar or a Pakula Witchdoctor.

We never run a shotgun. We always aim to tag & release all billfish and use Billfish Foundation tags. We generally use lures that imitate or approximate to the baitfish in the area such as skipjack & Yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi or flying fish.

Although We use wire rigs a lot because of wahoo, we don't double the wire inside the skirt to make a stiff rig. We just use a single wire to the hook allowing some flexibility and swing. Lures are tooth-picked or hooks set with the point or points upwards. Two hook rigs have the hooks offset at about 45 degrees.

Our recommendations are for normal general fishing on a reasonably calm day in bright or slightly overcast weather when targeting fish of any size. This is what works for us. Its not necessarily what will work for you !

SHORT CORNER

We tend to use this position more as a teaser or to tempt a monster fish with a monster lure.

Leverage The Power Of Storytelling To Build A Better Brand

How good are you at telling a story? Not so hot? Well then it's time to brush up and hone that skill because your business, every business, is basically a story. And how well you tell that story will determine if people (i.e. your customers) will continue to listen or politely walk away.

How do you tell a good story?

You start with a captivating, intriguing hook. In the business equivalent, that would ideally be your company name. That's why evocative, and even provocative, names work so well. So in the elevator at the trade show it goes something like this... "Who are you here with ?" You then share your company name. If it's interesting, you'll probably get asked for more. If it's purely descriptive, (i.e. Superior Sprockets) they will assume they get the whole picture and move on. But if you say...

"I'm with Virgin."

...You just might get some interesting looks. Someone might say, "I'm sorry, did you say 'Virgin'?" And then you would segue into how you represent the airline or record company by that name. If the conversation moved down the hall, you might explain that Virgin represents certain attributes of the company, such as new approaches and fresh ideas to old technologies. That's just one of many examples of telling a story.

So just what are the key components of this great story? First there's the name. We covered that. Then there's the descriptor phrase. That's not the same as the tag line. The descriptor phrase tells, in a handful of words, exactly what it is you do. The tag line might be seen as too promotional to add in at this point. So imagine again being asked what company you are with and you say "Nike". "Really?" comes the response. (Pretend for demonstration's sake there's still someone who hasn't heard of Nike.) "What do they do?" At this point you would not say, "Just do it!" but instead say something like, "We're a world class provider of athletic gear."

The next step, if you've kept your audience engaged, is to go onto the :15 elevator speech. Keep it short and simple and focused. Load it up with benefits that will keep listeners listening. So here's an example based on some of the work we've done.

Elevator door closes.

"Hi! Boring conference eh? Who are you here with?"

"I'm with TKO Surgical."

"TKO? Like the boxing term TKO?" (Quizzical look)

"Exactly!"

"What do you guys do?"

"We're a high end distributor of spinal implants in the northwest."

"So why the TKO?"

"It sort of mirrors our philosophy of being fighters. We work to help the doctors get what their patients really need. And a lot of times that means fighting all the red tape and insurance companies."

"Hey, that's really cool. Do you have a card?"

"Sure." (Hands over card)

"Well take it easy... and 'knock yourself out!'" (Laughs)

Now imagine if those elevator doors had first closed and the answer to the initial question was "I'm with United Medical Management Associates." There's a good chance the conversation would have gone no further. There's no story starter there. In fact, you might just put them to sleep on their feet.

So take a few minutes and review your story. How does it start? Is it engaging? Compelling? Even mildly interesting? And it doesn't have to depend on being named Monster or Amazon. One of our clients is simply named SupplyAmerica, but it begs the question "Supply what?"

So build around the name, then the descriptor phrase, then the short elevator speech and you'll have built a great story and the foundation for a great brand!

Kona DH bike. dont know what model it is!?!?!?

Just bought a Kona Full suspension DH bike. Its bright Red. Has Marzzochi Drop triple tree in front and Fox dhx 3.0 in rear. ethirteen bashgaurd with mavic rims. also its a nine speed with no gears in front just one sprocket surrounded by the ethirteen guide. It says "Livewire" where the model name usually goes on the toptube;but when i look up "kona livewire" nothing comes up!?!? the guy told me he thought it was a 2006 but im not sure. its set up like a stinky and stab but im not sure. anybody? also i want to know of any good upgrades i can do. i am about to upgrade to a saint rear derailer ?

suggestions?

A photo would help but it's almost unquestionably a Stinky or a Stab since those are the only real DH bikes Kona makes. It might be a Coiler or Coilair but that's much less likely. In '06 they actually made an 8" travel Stinky, the Supreme, but after that the Stinky's are all 7" travel bikes while the Stab's are 8" travel. The good news is that anything that would fit a Stinky will also fit a Stab and vice versa so you're safe shopping for either...
