Call the argument what you will. Thats why the world is round.

I will say this of Vision, and Mr. Superfly. He is for all intensive purposes a one man show. The little guy. How would you like to be the guy that owned a small tackle shop and had Sportco move in next door? Or if you owned the family hardware store and Home Depot came into town?
I relate that to joe competing with the Gamakatsu's and Eagle Claws of the world. I am a big fan of supporting LOCAL business. Any of you guys that have had a hook break, or busted an all star ever give Joe a call? See what he had to say or offer before you start busting his nuts on the internet? I have seen it several times on here now where Vision is getting slammed, and Superfly is backed into a corner - sure he gets ticked off. I would too.
Competing with the big names in the industry is a tough deal. His hooks get better every season, and every season fishing gets tougher. More competiton - dwindling runs, no water - too much water. Seems like fishermen inherently need something or someone to complain about.
For the love. If you have a bad hook in a batch, mail it to Joe and get a new hook to replace it. If you bend a hook or break one off in a fish, check your dang drag and quit horsing them so hard.
Support the local business. Loomis used to be local - we all know that story. Vision is local now - give them your support, or at least dont slander their name all over the web.
