ST. LOUIS, Missouri -- U.S. Reel announced today that "America's Favorite Fisherman," Jimmy Houston, has just signed a five-year contract. "We are proud as can be that the legendary Jimmy Houston is now a part of the SuperCaster movement that is sweeping the nation," declared Founder and President of U.S. Reel, Fred Kemp. Mr. Houston added, "I spent the past thirty years fishing what I believed were the best reels out there. Now there is clearly a better choice!"

   "I am absolutely blown away with the quality, technology, innovations, and value of the SuperCaster line-up." He continued, "SuperCasters are the smoothest, easiest reels that I have ever fished. No reel that I have seen will cast as far as these reels."

   Jimmy says, "My good friend Tom Mahoney from Little Rock first introduced me to the SuperCaster on a trip to my lake earlier this year. He told me he had never seen a reel that would cast this far. He said the key to this reel is that it has no level wind eyelet. Later, my friend OT Fears stopped by and told me that he had changed to U.S. Reel as had Guido and Dion Hibdon. I had to learn more."

   Jimmy explains, "The ABLe (short for Angled Bar Levelwind) or see-saw levelwind system (I call it the magic wave bar) is the secret. The line flows much more freely off the spool and does not have to traverse and funnel down through an eyelet. And these reels are packed with other great technological innovations. It's going to be fun fishing and sharing these great reels with America's fishermen."

   Houston declares, "My new U.S. Reel SuperCaster is an incredible casting reel! It's unbelievable how far I can cast with such little effort. Every fisherman will be impressed!"
