Ultimately hoping this message makes its way to Chris Brace. I have used Brace since your opening shop in Alice with Mike and Kevin. Brace has consistently been a very reliable resource for me and all my Slickline/braidedline needs. I started STX back in January and since doing so; Brace has been instrumental in my company's start and success thus far. Really wanted to take the time and thank Bud Mann and Rene Cantu, as well as the entire Brace team! I have literally had Bud and Rene jumping through hoops several different times here recently and they have taken it all in stride, been extremely helpful, and most importantly made it happen! Brace is lucky to have both Bud and Rene! Thank You, from STX Slickline team!

Michael Allumbaugh

President, STX Slickline LLC

We ordered a SL indexing tool from Brace to rethread a fishing neck back onto an XLock, and it worked perfectly, and we were able to recover a fish that would have been very difficult without this tool. Couldn’t be happier with Brace’s support on it.
