This sounds like horse shit but I don't fish.

Just coming here to say the same thing. Sounds like a company that didn't progress with the time, was mismanaged, or doesn't understand their markets needs of today. I looked at their websites and 'meh', not readily available on Amazon either, that's a big mistake. I'm sure the list goes on, it's sad of course but a causality of other companies marketing better than you.

You aren't used to having items last. It used to be that you would buy it once and never need another in your lifetime.

I mean I am, but that means you charge more and market it better. If every fisherman only bought these because they're the best I would think they'd be ok.
