It’s time! Time to get the next round of hooks coming your way.

This works almost exactly like a Kickstarter campaign or other crowd funding opportunities where a pledge is made and you are not charged until a later date; a pre-sale, if you will. In one of the next sections, you will find “rewards” for which you can pledge. These are similar in nature to the reward packages that I offered during the pre-launch event last fall. I will run this pre-sale until mid-July

YES!
1) You will choose your hooks at the time of purchase. No hook survey!
2) You CANNOT purchase a pre-sale pledge in the same cart as a regularly available item. I have no way to make the distinction between the pre-sale amount to be charged later and other items to be charged now. The cart will automatically empty prior to adding a pre-sale item.

The goal is to put new Firehole Sticks on your tying desk! Unlike the pre-launch event where we had to meet a “get started” goal to begin manufacturing and a final goal to complete it, Deb and I have been able to pull the trigger on the manufacturing of the next four models of hooks. They are already in process. We are running this pre-sale to build some capital upfront to offset some of those costs, complete the manufacturing process, and get ready for the next set of hooks.

A new set of high quality, competition style, wide gap tying hooks designed right here at Firehole Central in Bozeman, Montana. The best part is that during the pre-sale these new hooks are available at some stupid prices. This pre-sale is offering the new hooks at 10% – 37.5% off the standard retail price of 10 bucks for 50 Sticks. Keep in mind that you will only be able to choose from the new models for the reward packages.

As of this writing (May 28th) I am expecting final shipment to arrive toward the end of July, about five weeks after I charge your credit card. Deb and I will take the necessary time to preform quality checks and properly label each box. If everything goes well I anticipate beginning the shipping during the first week of August.

As with the pre-launch event, I have three specific packages for you. Head over to the Firehole Dealer website for specifics. If you are not a current authorized Firehole dealer you will sign up on the website first and I will contact you. Current dealers can login and make a purchase.

As we get that next round coming your way, let’s give some away!

Those of you who have followed us since we started know that Deb and I have bootstrapped this effort for over three years now and YOU have helped us crowd-fund the start of production. YOU have kept things going through continued purchases of hooks and YOU are supporting our small but, growing dealer network. Thank you.

While the pre-sale event for the next four models is going well, especially during a non-tying season, we would, quite honestly, like to try boost it a bit to meet the pre-sale goals.

Below are three goals, each with a date and a set of giveaways. Everyone who enters is eligible to win and dealers are welcome. One prize per person.

$10,000 by June 27th. To date we are at $10,000. Two winners will be drawn. One (1) equivalent to a $75 pledge and one (1) equivalent to a $40 pledge. The winners will be able to choose from ALL production hooks.

$12,500 by July 7th. To date we are at $12,260. Three winners will be drawn. One (1) equivalent to a $100 pledge, one (1) equivalent to a $75 pledge, and one (1) equivalent to a $40 pledge. The winners will be able to choose from ALL production hooks.

$15,000 by July 21st. To date we are at $12,260. Six (6) winners will be drawn. One (1) equivalent to each of the six pledges. The winners will be able to choose from ALL production hooks.

If we beat the dates, we will give stuff away sooner! However, we will still wait until July 5th to charge credit cards.

Uh, heck yea!

Each set of prizes will be given away when the goal(s) are met. The prizes will be drawn at random from the entries received up to through the goal date or the date we met the goal, whichever is sooner. The winners of Firehole Sticks will choose from all available models. If you win and choose some existing models and some of the pre-sale models your prize will ship along with the pre-sale shipments.

If you are an authorized Firehole dealer and win a prize, your prize will be fulfilled with dealer hooks/packaging.
