KastKing Introduces Specialty Fishing Rods

KastKing, a division of Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc. has created a line of specific use fishing rods that bring innovation and technology to fishing tackle.

Hempstead, Long Island, NY (August 25, 2014) — Eposeidon‘s KastKing™ division that sells high-quality economically priced fishing reels and fishing line has added fishing rods to their product lineup. KastKing™ will offer 23 models made for freshwater techniques and kayak fishing. Their bass fishing rod line carries the name Perigee, named after the positioning of the moon when fish are most active, and Phantom for KastKing’s™ patent-pending kayak rod series. KastKing™ has designed and manufactured spinning and baitcasting rods in the Perigee line for specific bass fishing techniques such as: crankbait, flipping/C-rig, topwater, frogging and punching, jerkbait, and drop-shot/shakey head.

There are also KastKing™ Perigee multipurpose spinning and baitcasting rods for a variety of species and techniques. In addition, KastKing™ has created a rod specifically for kayak fishing. It was designed after input and months of testing by kayak anglers in freshwater and saltwater.

“Possibly the greatest feature of these rods is the price,” says Eposeidon’s Marketing Director, Tom Gahan, “With top quality components and features that offer action of rods costing hundreds more, we have a good outlook for market share with our price-point set in the $70 range. It took a lot of work to pack so much quality into these rods and offer the best value anywhere. For the angler’s sake, we’re glad we could.”

Eposeidon will be offering a special pre-release discount on Perigee and Phantom rods at the beginning of September. Pre-release ordering details will be available at http://www.eposeidon.com at that time. Customers who place a pre-release order will have their rods shipped out after arriving in Eposeidon’s warehouses in mid-September. Once the KastKing™ rods are in inventory, the regular retail price of $79.95 will apply.

Drew Daniel of Drew Daniel Adventures, who comes from a fishing family in the sporting goods business and is a renowned outfitter of guided fishing trips in the US, Mexico, and Brazil says about KastKing™ Bass rods, “The very best rod on the market, We have a closet full of other brand rods, KastKings are my go to rod for fishing all over the world.”

“An excellent multi functioning rod for jigging for bottom dwellers or casting for predators. In a kayak, rod selection is so important since you can only bring a few, but these rods give you the ability to have a multi-species day with just one pole,” commented Elias Vaisberg, who competes in fishing competition internationally and has won the Jamaica Bay Kayak Fishing Classic in 2013 and 2014 that has hundreds of competitors.

Tate Cui, CEO at Eposeidon says, “Eposeidon listened to input from the angling community for their wants and needs in a quality fishing rod. We gathered the best designers, engineers, and materials to create a fantastic product. The feedback from our testers has exceeded our expectations. We are willing to work within tighter margins to make KastKing rods affordable and stay within our company motto, ‘the thing we do best is save you money on fishing tackle’.”

GIL GARCETTI ANNOUNCES ANNUAL FUNDRAISER FOR “WELLS BRING HOPE”, THE CHARITY HE INSPIRED. IT IS COMMITTED TO SAVING LIVES WITH SAFE WATER IN THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Philanthropist Stanley Black opens the gates to his legendary Holmby Hills estate to help Wells Bring Hope raise money to drill wells and bring safe water to the people of Niger, West Africa.

 

Gil Garcetti, and founder Barbara Goldberg, announced today that Wells Bring Hope’s annual fundraiser will be held on September 21, 2014, 3-6 p.m., at the home of philanthropist Stanley Black.

It will include live and silent auctions, live music, delicious food, wine and an exotic iced tea bar. The cost is $150.00 per person, fully tax deductible. 100% of all donations will be used to drill safe water wells in Niger. Founded in 2008, “ Wells Bring Hope” has raised close to $2 million and drilled 281 wells.

In Niger, the poorest country in the world…

•  44% earn less than $1.25 a day

•  61% have no access to clean water

•  96% have no access to sanitation

•  85% of women cannot read or write

“It is the women and girls who suffer the most because they are responsible for getting the water, water that often causes death and disease. When a well is drilled, girls go to school and we give women microfinance tools to start small businesses. It puts an end to the downward spiral of poverty,” said Gil Garcetti.

“One out of 7 children dies before their fifth birthday. When a well is drilled, child mortality is reduced by 70 per cent and lives are transformed for generations to come,” said Founder Barbara Goldberg.

How Does High-Frequency Trading Impact Investors at The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore

Edgar Perez, former McKinsey and IBM consultant, is a global expert, author of The Speed Traders, Knightmare on Wall Street, and the course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools”.

New York, NY, USA (August 25, 2014) — High-frequency trading provides market liquidity, and that’s good for individual investors. Some say it’s unfair because a few very smart people are making money doing it. Rick Ferri, founder of Portfolio Solutions LLC, disagrees Competition will take care of that, he says. In his view, as long as this method of stock trading can be done by anyone with the resources to participate, and if the process leads to lower overall trading costs for investors, then he is all for it.

How does Edgar Perez, author of Knightmare on Wall Street (http://www.knightmareonwallstreet.com) analyze the situation? Mr. Perez will open the door to the secretive world of computerized low-latency trading, the most controversial form of investing today; at The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore, “How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets ‘RIGGED’ by Wall Street’s ‘Flash Boys’, High-frequency Trading, Exchanges and Dark Pools” (http://www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com), the first and most comprehensive initiation to the world of high-frequency trading.

The Speed Traders Workshop 2014 Singapore covers the latest research currently available and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in global markets and driving the development of electronic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and Brazil. The “flash crash”, the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital’s trading malfunction and NASDAQ’s Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the history of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants.
