Tharp signs with Halo

FLW Tour pro Randall Tharp signed an agreement with Halo Fishing stating they will be his exclusive provider of fishing rods for the 2012 season. Just prior to Tharp’s FLW Tour Open victory on Lake Okeechobee he began using Halo’s new Twilight Series of rods. Although he was very impressed with all of the rods he was particularly fond of Halo’s 7’11” Extra Heavy Flipping Stick. Tharp went on to win the 4 day event using this rod to haul in 2 limits over 30 pounds on days 1 and 2.

“It is the lightest, strongest, and most powerful rod I have ever used,” said Tharp. “Halo has taken it to the next level with the Twilight Series and I can’t wait to use them on Tour this season.”

Halo Fishing tasked itself with creating the best product available for a reasonable price that simply works. It took over a year to develop the Twilight Series into what it is today. Attention to detail and a desire for perfection led the rod from the drawing board, to field trials and ultimately to production.

Starting with a light but strong blank, Halo added EVA foam split grip handles and micro guides that taper from a size 8 to a size 4, all backed by a one year over the counter warranty. In addition to the 1 year warranty, Halo offers rod replacement for up to 15 years upon the payment of a $30 replacement fee.

“We are excited to have an angler of Randall’s ability on our pro staff,” said Halo Fishing founders Alex Pappas and Lionel Botha. “We believe that we have created one of the best rods available on the market today and we have accomplished this at an affordable price. That’s what we are most proud of.”

The Twilight Series retails for $139.00 to $149.00 and is available in a range of sizes from 6′ 6″ spinning rods to 7′ 11″ flipping sticks. For more information on Halo Fishing please visit their website at www.halofishing.com.
