Atom

Was bought by Uncle Josh. I hear they moved all their production to China. Get ready for some real garbage. Shame.

Junk made in China, junk made in America by Smoker, what's the difference in the long run?

Atom died for me the day that Bob Pond sold it to Smoker Baits.

Well said. At the end of the day, junk is junk is junk.
