I still have many of the publicity photo's taken of Nick while working at Pflueger and would be happy to show these to family members down the road. I'm currently in the tackle trade and still bring up Nick Simich as one of the best natural casters I've ever seen. Email me and we'll try to get...

Janice and Family. Our sincere sympathy to you for the passing of your father.

Pam & family--
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
