Location: NYC (and many weeks in MN during summer)
show is on now with a neat look into factory manufacturing. Upcoming clip shows how they make fishing rods. Saw a st croix t shirt, so it must be their factory.

On now, hope its good.

I just watched it also. It was pretty interesting although it did have one mistake at the end. It said that a rod that breaks in one spot is bad and one that breaks in multiple places means that the rod was good but you just overstressed it. They showed a rod that broke and was all splintered. That is not a defect genearlly, it's a result of the blank being bruised.

I saw the show also... pretty cool. They need to do a show on How Muskie lures are made... Bull Dawgs, Suicks, etc. Also, Muskie Tackle boxes, Muskie Boats, Muskie nets... ok, you get the picture.
