Roast Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Interesting that he chose to use kickstarter to fund this, pretty sure he could cover it... Quote

Roast Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Ya I totally get it, and it does sound very interesting, I would like to cast one. Interesting that he isn't offering a 5wt, the typical do it all trout weight. Quote

But why use your own money when you can use other peoples' money with zero risk? Kickstarter has become far more than just a revenue/investment generation tool. It really is a powerful social media tool in and of itself, and a pretty brilliant way to market a new product. Got us talking about it here Quote

And Canada is a big producer of linseed. With the resins we have these days, it probably is worthwhile experimenting with fibers. Hemp fishing rods? Quote
