Bizzare

Stumbled on a thread where someone's pinching your script Rob - right down to

"Well, I have never seen a sticker on any Hardy rod or reel in my local Hardy dealership. They must be removed before display so i appologise if i have sounded bullish but in my experience there is nothing on the rods or reels in the shop.

The blanks I use from Hardy do indeed have a sticker on them, which naturally, I peel off as its just a paper sticker."

But that too was corrected by others in that thread and that was ten days ago  :wink

Go into Somers and have a look at the Hardy and Greys rods..tell me if there are Made in Korea stickers on them.

And if Somers, like you, take them off? You're blaming Hardy Greys?

No, Rob that was just another example of Hardy bashing. Despite being told by all sorts that they have the wrong end of the stick and/or are simply wrong in fact, online half-truths perpetuate themselves. Rather like you saying Hardy Demons have a reputation for breakages when in fact they don't. :wink Or implying that the Orvis Western is US made.
