This image is of a wordmark. The wordmark PANFISHPRO is a federally registered trademark, signifying its official protection under United States law. A key visual element of this registration is the presence of the circle R (®) symbol, which is strategically positioned at the top right of the wordmark. Under the provisions of the Lanham Act, this symbol is reserved exclusively for marks currently maintained on the Principal or Supplemental Register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Panfishpro, LLC, based in Elgin, Illinois, asserts exclusive proprietary rights to this design by virtue of its use in commerce and formal federal registration. The company has not granted any other entity permission, whether explicit or implicit, to utilize this mark. Consequently, any unauthorized use of the PANFISHPRO trademark constitutes a violation of federal law. This legal standing is particularly significant in the fishing tackle industry, where Panfishpro has maintained a continuous online retail presence for twenty-five years, since January 1, 2001.
This is our current website header image. This image is a clean, professional product graphic featuring NEXTALGX brand fishing jigs. The layout is split between a product demonstration on the left and brand messaging on the right. Product Display: On the left side, there are five small, clear plastic tubes. Four of these tubes contain a single pink jig, while one tube stands empty with its cap sitting nearby on the surface. The Jigs: These are "mini" style jigs consisting of a bright hot pink round lead head and a matching hot pink ribbed soft plastic body that tapers into the cone the inventor made famous over forty years ago! Branding and Text: NEXTALGX®: The brand name is displayed in a bold, slightly stylized black font. A jagged, brush-stroke-style red line underlines the logo, adding a sense of energy or "strike" action. Tagline: Below the logo, it reads: "From the inventors of the Cubby Mini-Mite Jig." This provides historical context and suggests a legacy of quality in the panfish lure market. Visual Style: The entire composition is set against a seamless white background, which is typical for e-commerce or catalog listings. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the translucent nature of the plastic tubes and the vibrant color of the lures.
The word "NEXTALGX" is presented in a stylized font with a registered trademark symbol (®) positioned at its upper right. An intense, bright red brush stroke is featured directly beneath the text.

The authentic 1980’s design from the original inventors of the Cubby® Mini-Mite® Jig.

It’s Time To Pull The Plug

Post date: January 2, 2023

When Panfishpro launched over two decades ago, many consumers were wary of entering credit card details online, some even vowing never to do so. Fast forward twenty-two years, and it’s remarkable how much our online buying habits and perceptions of the internet have evolved.

The ubiquitous Facsimile Machine.

To accommodate individuals who preferred alternative ordering methods, we established options for placing orders via fax and postal mail. The time has now arrived to discontinue these ordering methods. Effective today, we are ceasing our order by fax and order by mail services.

Our very first order form.

Based on our analysis of historical mailed and faxed orders, we anticipate this change will not affect our current customers. Many who previously used mail and fax have successfully transitioned to our website (thank you!), and some others who utilized these methods have not placed orders recently.

We will accept mailed orders postmarked on or before January 31, 2023. Faxed orders will be honored if received by January 9, 2023. Any mailed or faxed orders received after these dates will be discarded.

We genuinely appreciate your understanding of this decision and extend our sincere gratitude to all our customers who have supported us for over two decades, making our continued business possible.

*Based on a customer who reorders in twenty-four months or less.
