       Remember I said on the Brand X page that I had 
       "been there and done that"?  Terrible cliche, I know, 
       but it's a true story!  I invented ESB after a day of fishing on 
       my native Houghton Lake.  I was fishing with 2 rods rigged 
       identically. On one rod, I was hauling 'em in;  on the other 
       rod, not a  nibble.  After trying everything I could think 
       of to get the slacker rod to produce, a little boatside research 
       showed me the problem.  My bobber was set for 8 feet, but when I 
       dropped my jig at the side of the boat, it hung up at 1 foot.  I 
       tried this experiment a dozen times and not once did my jig descend 
       more than 4 feet.  After carefully checking my line for nicks 
       and knots (and not finding any), I finally noticed the tiny cut that 
       my line had made in the stop bead.  Amazed, I checked out the 
       other old slip bobbers in my tackle box, and found all of them 
       cut.  I knew that there had to be a better way.  
       There is. 
       It's ESB.

           The big advantage of ESB is that it has a stop bead 
           that your line won't 
           cut.  Instead of plastic, the ESB stop bead is a highly polished 
           technical glass bead, one that took no small amount of searching to 
           find.  Don't worry, it won't cut your line;  as I said, 
           it's highly polished and smoother than the slippery rocks in a trout 
           stream.  The high polish gives the added bonus of being much 
           smoother than plastic, so it causes less friction against your line 
           and your bait gets to the fish much faster than with an ordinary slip 
           float. The terminal end of the ESB tube is protected by a brass 
           guard.  The ESB body and tube are rigid synthetic materials with 
           no cork or balsa to swell, split, or rot. The body and tube are 
           chemically welded together and will not seperate under any normal 
           (and most abnormal) fishing use.  Add it all up and you have the 
           most reliable, durable, and fastest slip bobber in the world - the 
           Everlasting Slip Bobber!  I'm not 
           guaranteeing that you'll catch more fish; that's up to you, but if 
           you don't, you won't be able to blame it on this slip bobber.  
           Nothing really lasts forever and I'm not going to try to tell you 
           that ESB will. The paint will eventually wear.  You can break it 
           or lose it.  But I will tell you this:  I fished with my 
           original prototypes for as long as 9 months before losing all of 
           them, but I never wore them out. 
           See for yourself the difference 
           ESB can make in your success rate! You won't believe a slip bobber 
           can mean that much, until you try it! 
           How much is your fishing time worth?
