Joe Matuska received his first kayak paddle and boat in 1973 as a graduation gift. After swimming several times during his first outing with them, he came home with a broken paddle and a broken boat. Figuring that someone with a degree in Medical Microbiology should be able to fix a broken paddle and boat, he went to work on them. The next thing he knew, he had a new hobby which lead to a lengthy career in the paddle sport industry. In 1991, Joe started Aqua-Bound in Surrey, British, Columbia.

The company manufactured paddles for whitewater, touring and recreational kayaking as well as canoeing, and quickly became the number one producer of plastic-bladed kayak paddles. Aqua-Bound was also the first to introduce gas-assist molded paddle blades. Joe spent a large amount of his time working the phones and growing his business by providing excellent customer service. In late 2008, Branches, LLC purchased Aqua-Bond Technologies from Joe and his partners. Branches is committed to continuing the Aqua-Bound tradition of extraordinary quality and service. Get your hands on an Aqua-Bound paddle and prepare to elevate your experience.

In 1952 Blayney and his wife Almeda Scott started a small company in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada that pioneered the use of plastics in the manufacturing of salmon fishing lures and other marine products.

From humble beginnings, Scott Plastics Ltd. has evolved to produce thousands of products under the Scotty Trademark which are sold into the fishing, marine, outdoor and firefighting industries worldwide.

In this time the Scotty trademark has become recognized to mean one thing - product excellence.

The total commitment to quality, fair pricing and unmatched service means our customers everywhere can expect reliability and satisfaction from every product that carries the Scotty name.

For over 20 years we have catered to the needs of many of the most famous fishing guides, lodges, charter operations in the world for one major reason - Pro-Cure Products consistently catch them more fish where other brands have not. Only Pro-Cure makes their scents from real whole fresh bait, and this makes a huge difference over scents that are formulated chemically in labs. Then we enhance all of our scents with powerful blends of exotic amino acids and bite stimulants to bring you the most effective scents ever offered.

So whether your looking for scents that will help you catch more fish, or egg cures, or bait brines or dyes, remember that all Pro-Cure products come with a complete money back guarantee that even covers your return postage. We want you to know that if you have never fished with a Pro-Cure product and are thinking about trying them, then you've got absolutely nothing to loose, but a whole lot to gain.

Canoe Country Outfitters, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Mike Siebel out of his love for canoeing. As the years went by the inventory of boats began to include sea kayaks and recreational kayaks in addition to canoes. Now the inventory of canoes and kayaks totals over 700 boats in stock. Mike still loves canoes but you are just as likely to see him paddling a kayak out in Tampa Bay or the Gulf.
