We're talking with the man at the helm of Off Shore Tackle these days, Nick DeShano.  Nick grew up in the family business, and these days, runs the day to day operations of the respected company. Nick talks about the early days of Off Shore and how they've evolved into the "Leader in Trolling Technology". He also discusses the new American Catfishing Association and the role his company will play in that group.  Nick says catfish are an extremely popular gamefish in the south, and that northern anglers are missing out on some great action. The conversation wraps up with a look at improvements on the popular OR-12, and great advice on how to use tadpoles, snap weights and the SST Pro Mag boards.
