Thanks - You know, a million online tackle shops have sprung up since I started. It's really cut-throat competitive with some pretty sophisticated people entering the picture. I fully expected it to happen though - it's unrealistic to not expect competitors to enter the marketplace.
I'm only one guy - can't compete on that level, so I figured it was time to shift. At least when I publish a book or come up with a design, I hold the copyright or trademark. And yes, I know how expensive it is to defend it - you gotta sell a lot of shirts to pay bills from Salter & Michelson.
