A film crew working to put together a special on surfcasting for TV (probably PBS) at some point in the future was at the shop interviewing me, the Ironman, and Pt. Jude Joe.
So that's why it was lit up like a movie set in there. 
They are interested in documenting the people, culture, equipment, and basically the whole surfcasting scene and it's history. Plug builders, rod builders, tackle shops, personalities, etc. |

I heard there's a scene where a customer freaks out cause SWE doesn't have any Beachmasters, and Brad Pitt (playing Pete_G) puts a revolver to his head and says "retail is a bitch, man."

Yes.
They're also talking about putting a hairpiece on Danny DeVito and getting him to play the Ironman. |

As far as I know it is still in it's VERY early stages and there are MANY more fisherman, shops, and builders they are looking to interview. It's not even 100% definite that it will make it to TV.
It's probably at least a year away.

Iron Man
Now I know what they mean when they say one of the reasons Iron Mike is so successful is.... that he gets inside the bass...  |
