I have seen the saltiga loyalists upset too.Alberto broke a reel....wow.How could that happen?Swim with a reel,do nothing to maintain it,we'll see who can fish longest. Sure I wish it was still made in the USA I'm proud of my country. Is there something wrong with this?[COLOR="Red"] I also would like to see WET (white entetainment television).This does not mean I am a racist,just proud of my race.[/COLOR]Lots of stuff slipping away we can't seem to control,add this to the list. Hold your breath because I hear we will be getting some interesting news regarding the ZeeBaas. You heard it here first.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

back to topic- have fished shimano for years and have always been happy. been drooling over the vs for a while and my plans to buy one this winter have not changed.

Pete is right but on the other hand many sites have an obssesion with a few sponsors and if anything negative is brought up concerning them it is shot down. What if I were to say that I will never buy another aquaskinz dry top because I have owned two that both leaked within the first two weeks? I know I am not the only one with this complaint but yet you never hear about it. Some companies have the internet on lockdown, say something negative about said company and be completely bashed. Look at some of the threads in the sponsors specials, everytime a new thread is started by one company it is the same loyal followers that are quick to reply.

alot of interesting post,togue nailed it pretty good.here's one to ponder,when ford closed some plants last year and union workers lost there jobs and towns became wastelands,ford posted a sign at workers parking lots stating only american made vehicles allowed in lots.just think if wal-mart only sold made in USA alot more mfg jobs and no china.
