anyone else sensing some defensiveness from the kid....?
...hmmm, methinks one doth protesteth too much.
Agreed. Seemed a little out of character for The Kid.
Any business man that would knowingly allow inferior products onto the market does not deserve to be in business, period....and yes, the original owners acknowledged via a previous thread on this very same subject that there was a problem and they continued to supply the market with said inferior hooks.
Agreed. I never owned the company, so when you said "owners" above, please don't include me as one. If Joe or Justin made those acknowledgements, good for them.
IMO, the 'new owners' would be well served to change the name of the product line. There are a LOT of people out there that think Vision hooks are total garbage...IMO, they'd be well served to take every conceivable measure to change that perception if they ever plan on reclaiming their once formidable market share.
Vision never had a formidable market share. While I do agree that the previous owner was not mean to be a businessman or run a business and damn near ran the company in to the ground and burned every bridge on the way out, I think over time, if the company has a good product to offer, it will survive and flourish.
If the products suck, than the company will die. They seem to be growing and doing well, so I don't think the products suck.
Most of Oregon didn't know what Visison was until now. It's becoming a very popular brand of hook/tackle brand down there. Obviously, a LOT of people are starting to use Visions, as their products do not suck.
Word of mouth is a bitch ain't it?
Sometimes. I do like how you are forgetting the little part about how Vision offered to replace all the hooks you bought for any other product offered by Vision.
Good luck getting the same out of Owner or Gamikatsu (granted, I've never tried).
My guess here Vince is that some people here know in advance what your testing will show and are trying to impune the results of those tests before you even do them. I personally hope you are able to follow through....
Really, it's probably the same people that don't care one way or the other and will continue to use the same hooks and swivels they are using now.
I'd be interested to see what Vince comes up with. Won't change my opinions of the different hooks.
Hate to say it, but MOST tackle failures are the direct result of the fisherman and their choices of terminal riggings than the tackle itself.
You flat out got screwed dude, and if I were you, I wouldn't trust Vision either.
Visions are just a part of my tackle arsenal. I use different hooks and swivels depending on what I am fishing for, where, and when.
