As an employee of Rollie & Helen's I'd like to answer this. We've been getting literally tons of calls every day about the catalog. The catalog is at the printer right now. They do the final tweaking of anything needed on their end of things and then ship out to our customers right from the printer. At this point we anticipate that the catalog should go out in the next week or two. Because of the large volume of catalogs shipped these go out via bulk mail which of course is slower than regular first class mail. I'd suspect you should start seeing them show up right around the first week or two of April. It's about the same as last year. If there is any updated information I'll try to get it posted up here. For those of you who just can't wait to see what products are in the new catalog, we have our online catalog pretty well updated. It takes a bit to search through everything but if you are looking for a specific product it should probably be there.
By the way if you received the catalog from R&H in the past you will get it again this year. If you haven't got one before and would like to get on thr list, give us a call at (800) 453-5224.

Anybody else join the "Rollie and Helen's Musky Club" deal a few years back? I was the fourth member to join, got an "Exclusive Member" hat and everything. But I guess the new owners dropped the whole deal. Love the catalogs.

As soon as the catalogs come in we will have them at the shop. You can also request one to be mailed to you if you're not already on the mailing list. Just call the shop or drop us an e-mail at [email protected]. As for the club we kept it going through 2006. The interest in the club concept dropped off to almost nothing so that's why it was discontinued. As an alternative that is fair to the largest number of customers Rollie & Helen's offers a 5% discount on orders placed online. A few items like reels and a couple other things are not included but most everything else is.

Just a quick update. Got word from the printer that they will be starting to mail the catalogs this week. We will have copies available at the store Thursday. Remember bulk mail is slower than first class so if you're on the mailing list rest assured your copy will be arriving at your door shortly. Hope everyone enjoys the 2007 edition of the catalog. New items will have a star with "New for 2007" next to the photo.

Awesome.

I hope the guys at R&H know just how much many of us appreciate the catalog. It's a great reference and very well put together.

Being from Canada, it really does put them above the rest and is why I continue to shop there.

I hope they continue it for years to come....it's a huge part of my arsenal!

Thanks for the nice words Darcy. I've been a customer of R&H for a lot longer than I've been an employee and I share your feelings about what a great resource that catalog has become. I really should give credit to the folks at the shop who have been working on that thing endlessly since around the first of October. Believe me when I tell you what a huge undertaking it is to get up to date info, shoot the photos, lay out the design, etc. All this goes on while the same people are operating the store, working the sport shows, handling ordering and all the other stuff that makes that shop work. I'm really lucky to be working with such a talented and dedicated group of people. We just got the first box of them in today and the rest will be arriving at the shop tomorrow. It really looks good. I think you guys will like it.

Great news Pete! It is perfect timing my wife will be away and won't get mad when I don't speak to her for three or four days.
