"There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a gentleness of spirit and a pure sincerity of mind"

But not when you're competing.
There is no satisfaction when we sit here and collect money . Something positive has to emerge from what you are doing. After replacing products the rest of the profits go to a Childrens Hospital. Rather than waste the day , we concentrate on trying to do something positive every day. We first had to be in a situation where we didn't need the money so we could be completely honest with you and not desperate for a sale.We do this to meet people that believe and share in our philosophy. Since the internet emerged, we've found that there are far too many experts out there and there was simply not enough room for another one. Because of our 50 years of experience, we may offer some suggestions. It's funny how the old debates from 50 years ago have returned. I got asked what kind of core a particular line has. Some kid that wanted to be cool started this. A lline with a mono core is for hot or tropical climates so the line doesn't become gummy. The best line for sensitivity is an Airflo Sixth Sense low stretch line. Think about it!
