(bet you didn't know "tru-turn hooks" were that old, either :eek: ... LOL!! )
What's more ...... Humminbird is now owned by the same group that owns Minn Kota (Johnson Outdoors), as of 2004 ;) That can only mean an upgrade in the Humminbird products. (they were originally marketed as a low to mid grade product, inexpensive enough for mass production for the $$ conscious angler) ............. cp :cool:
Bombardier owns Johnson Outboard I believe.
But I do find that interesting about TTI and Blakemore. specially when it comes to the road runner vs. pony heads vs stump jumers. Without going into a bunch of boring details, I offer to have physical contact (we should say) with this guy that was in a local tackle shop and claim that he work for Blakemore and demanded the owner of the shop remove pony head jigs.
Sorry
Thannks for the info
