Being retired and a third generation Northwesterner (grandfather had the gall to be born in Astoria) I have had gear handed down to me as well as having collected stuff at various yard sales to add to a limited and haphazard collection of fishing tackle.

With that background I will offer that most current tackle is a permutation of earlier versions. If it works better it earns a place; if not, it goes away with no more than a whimper.

But this is a pretty egregious effort to duplicate existing successful design(s)/color(s) and name(s) and by doing so steps on a well established local small business which deserves our support.

There are plenty of other retail outlets selling Silver Horde and, in fact, virtually everything else Sportsman's Warehouse sells. Looks like it is time for me to make another stop at SH in Lynnwood.
