Steve Vavrik

Steve, is a asset to this company!! He was so very patient and took the time to explain the different reels and poles.
I have already made a second purchase and again the transaction went through Steve.
All future purchases will be though steve. I live in Washington and have to pay duty but it's well worth it. It's true you get what you pay for.
Please be sure to forward this to Steve so he continues to Awesome!!

Oki Big Shooter Flasher HC Custom - Hit N' Run
The flasher should be good; I am waiting for the winter run of chinook before I put it to good use

The flasher should be good; I am waiting for the winter run of chinook before I put it to good use. I've had some good luck with Oki big shooter flashers in the past.

What makes HC so special is the people, they are all so passionate about the sport. They love to share their wealth of experience. I go in for one item and leave with things I didn’t know it needed and a smile.
