As previously mentioned, the cobia started off the coast a coupla-three
weeks ago, and so the tourneys have begun. Several of the
dockwarmer-types were discussing their rigs, debating whose motors were
the best. The discussion was complete with all sorts of
pseudotechnobabble, with each man dragging out which pro/champ/team used
what as "proof" of this or that. Up walks a team leader whose rigs have
had, and current rig has 4 Mercury Racing 300s hanging off the ass. One
of the Mercury/MR proponents asks, "So, why do you always use Mercury?
Is it the whatever marketing term or whichever superlative
wonderment?"
"It's because Mercury gives 'em to me..."

Well, some folks, anyway...
Point being.....?

Does that mean that the guides at The Alaskan Sportmens Lodge (Brian
Kraft owner/operator) who wear Simms G3s instead of Orvis waders (it's
an Orvis lodge) are out of uniform? d;o)
I only go to Orvis endorsed lodges, Richard. Always better service
and they always have spare rods/reels and sometimes even Orvis waders
if you lose your luggage to the airline. This includes lodges in
Alaska, Kamchatka, and Labrador. The guides at these lodges get 60%
off of everything available in the Orvis catalog, yet most of them
wear Simms G3s. Why? Because they last year after year after year
without any maintenance. Like I said, a buck a day to wear a set of
G3s instead of many dollars a day to wear anything else. Otherwise
they'd have to buy a new set of waders every year. Get out there,
Richard. See for yourself. Simms G3 for a dollar a day of fishing.
