Fishing and Adventure started with Shimano. I still have a Shimano popper rod I bought off them when they sold all their Shimano stuff after they changed brands. |

Yip, sorry - I got that wrong. Swapped to Fin Nor for season 2, then shifted to Okuma. This has been an interesting mid-winter thread and debate, even if I didn't get the gist of a couple of odd and/or cryptic contributions. Good to see the variety of things people look for and take away from fishing shows. I reckon that commercial imperative is the reality in much of the fishing entertainment space, including magazines (where a couple have folded in recent years), TV shows and YouTube channels. Even this website - look at all the advertising alongside what we're reading. Without sponsors and advertisers, most of the stuff we read and watch wouldn't be sustainable in our small market, would it? I'm just glad we have a number of pretty good quality shows to watch on a crappy Saturday afternoon. |
