  ”Our team has been fishing great lakes salmon tournaments for over two years now and have been quite successful. We met Chip after the first days weigh-in at the GLPAA Roger’s City Salmon Showdown. Chip talked us into trying his Ridgeback Rattler Downrigger Weights on day two. Normally our team would never do anything different during a tournament, but we promised Chip we would give them a try. We were fishing staging Kings in Swan Bay with J-plugs and Fishcatchers and what a difference the Ridgeback made!!! We were hooking fish all day. All our downrigger hits came off the 7lb. Ridgebacks. The Divers on that side were going off as well. We ended up 9 for 16 and weighed in the heaviest weight for that day propelling us from 3rd to 2nd place. Needless to say my team became believers. Thank you very much Chip for letting us give the Ridgebacks a test drive.”
