It is now late Spring 2009, A-TOM-MIK has been in the business for roughly 7 years, we have grown to over 20 Pro Staff members presently. As I sit here and think and reflect on why we are still here and going strong, the only thought that comes to mind is our Pro Staffers, thanks again guys, I owe you the world. I would also like to mention this: We now receive approx. 50 requests a year to be an A-TOM-MIK Pro Staffer, one thing I never realized before until now was each and every Pro Staffer we currently have never ask to be on our Pro Staff. Odd huh (: but true !!
Lil Flipper Charters:
*** Jill and Donny Rufo are no longer with us here in Oswego, they have moved on to new interests outside of Oswego County. Everyone who knew the Rufo's during their 20+ year stay in Oswego will surely miss their welcoming personalities. If ever you may meet a more friendly pair of fisherman who lived our Lake Ontario fishery, please let us know, they were one of a kind. I remember my 2 childrens first experience on the big water ("Tom" & "Mik") aboard the "Lil Flipper", at ages 4 and 5, Jill and Donny took us out every year on lil Tommy's B-day, these are experiences that will never be forgotten. Thanks Jill and Donny for many years of entertainment and helping with our small business by representing us, you are a big part of the reason why we are still here today, you will always be remembered!! ***

Pro Staff
The "A-TOM-MIK" name stands for my son Tommy ("TOM") and my daughter Mikayla ("MIK") with the ("A") from our last name being "Allen".
A Pro Staff is meant to be many things, more so now days than ever a Pro Staff is what it takes for longevity in the business. As manufacturers come and go the ones you see sticking around are certainly doing something right. Making a go of it now days in one of the hardest fields to conquer, the tackle trade, does not come easy and certainly does not come without help.
The A-TOM-MIK Pro Staff consists of "Seasoned Salts" and "Internet Guru's", "Tourney Anglers" and "Weekend Warriors" and also some of the "Young Guns" of the future! To be associated with each is what it takes we feel to make the grade in the industry of today. Our "Team Players" all share a common passion for the products we are building. By no means are there endless supplies of free product being distributed around, in many cases our guys are purchasing right off the shelf. The popular A-TOM-MIK name has grown on this passion, and on serious friendships that have come together to build a superior product. What we share are like interests in great lakes angling, helping one another by creating the next best thing. Ultimately putting fish (Kings) in the boat for clientele, tourney's and for weekend fun!
Of course you, "The Great Lakes Angler" are also the ones reaping the reward of the hard work coming together from A-TOM-MIK !! Thanks to our great team of Pro Staffers, A-TOM-MIK is still here today, right on top of the ball and ready to create that next slice of bread.
Thanks guys for helping fulfill our dream.............
*** Please note the information below is just a broad overview, these professionals have much more to their credit that is not stated ***

Come time to weigh-in we realized who that Canadian vessel was captained by, Karl: Team Two Fish !!! Wow, this dude from across the lake was tapping my home waters, even dragged his vessel right to the front door of my Oswego home to get a bit of A-TOM-MIK product.
