Fishing Tackle News:
Another takeover announced yesterday - Vista Outdoor Inc. have acquired Simms Fishing Products for a purchase price of $192.5 million.
Those numbers are simply mind-boggling - and I'm sure I read somewhere that Simms are currently kitting out more than 8,500 fishing guides/professionals to promote their products!

Simms kit is top notch but horribly expensive. £1000 for a pair of waders when you can rip them on the first barbed wire fence is bonkers.
