Shimano America Acquires Innovative Textiles

It’s no secret, we’re big fans of Shimano’s fishing equipment. Their fishing lineup just got even better! They recently acquired the company that is responsible for PowerPro braided fishing line! So what does this mean, higher prices or lower prices? Who knows?! I’m hoping lower – PowerPro is great line, but is quite pricey when you look at the alternative lines out there.

You are likely looking at some quality improvement provided it isnt all made in China…

OFN Invitational – Lake Nipissing, June 26-27 2004

We contacted Lakair Lodge the day before the OFN Crayola Invitational pike tournament to make sure there was a place for us to stay. Luckily there was, so we got all of our gear together and headed out the next day. Neither Jon or myself had ever traveled so far north, but we looked forward to it with great anticipation. The drive was long, but the thoughts of unexpected adventures ahead helped pass the time.

    Good point Jay, I’m sure there are plenty of little girls that have used their fathers snap swivels for necklace clasps ;)

    I never jump on the bandwagon too quickly Simon. Call it old age or just being an internet veteran.
