Science has shown that catfish possess superior intuitive senses for sniffing out sweet opportunities. Assuming those acute aptitudes extend to catfishing companies, you can expect great things from two powerful new partners for years to come.
The classic authority in catfishing bait and tackle for decades, Little Stinker recently inked a
major sales and distribution agreement with the whiskered wizards at Rippin Lips. When an industry leader comes knocking on your door, it抯 a pretty decent sign you抳e arrived.
Under the new five-year deal, Little Stinker (subsidiary of Uncle Josh Bait Company) will tap its impressive distribution network to greatly expand availability of Rippin Lips?wildly popular catfish bait, Leakin Livers, which had been previously available exclusively online. Among Uncle Josh抯 vast distribution network are big box retailers Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Academy, Bass Pro, Cabela抯, Dick抯, Big Rock Sports and others.
Uncle Josh sales manager Matt Bichanich touts the merits of Rippin Lips products. 揥e admire the expertise and scientific approach to catfishing Rippin Lips brings to the table,?he stated. 揟hese folks live and breathe catfishing. Legendary Rippin Lips anglers John Jamison and Phil King have helped expand the catfish market exponentially; they抳e developed innovative, easy-to-use products and baits that catch tons of catfish for everyday anglers. Their products are certainly on par with the classic Little Stinker name.

There are 7-million catfish anglers across North America, and we can now assure that Leakin Livers and our other products are available to each and every one of them.?
Intensively developed, tested and formulated with 100-percent real chicken livers, Leakin Livers has been praised by anglers as a clean, natural, odor-free catfish bait that disperses potent scent and flavors the moment it hits the water. Moreover, it抯 likely the most convenient, user-friendly catfish bait available today.

In addition to sales and distribution of Leakin Livers Catfish Bait, the agreement asserts that development of future Rippin Lips catfishing products will also become potential additions to Uncle Josh抯 sales arsenal. The first of such prospective introductions is a new series of specialized catfish rods, currently in the development and testing phase, slated for release in Spring 2013.
