“Not everybody gets the chance to be part of a legend, so we’re thrilled to be working with two. Winston and Bauer — you don’t get more special than that. There’s a reason everybody recognizes the phrase “Winston feel.” Winston is just that good. And nothing pairs up with a Winston rod better than a Bauer reel.
Yes, two legendary companies, and Grand Slam Outdoors Group is proud to represent both.”
– Guy Tillotson, Owner, Grand Slam Outdoors Group

With our new products and now our fresh new representation from Florida to Texas we are positioned well to work with the independent tackle shops in this important territory. I have known Guy and Tom for nearly 20 years in the industry and couldn’t be happier that we are all working together.
