AFTA

Went to AFTA. Great day. The new Daiwa Sol HD looks good, so do some new rods from Nomad and Oceans Legacy.

Daiwa still leaving Shimano for dead. The Daiwa stand was constantly packed. Shimano had barely a few.

Yes I believe it did, but I tell you this, if the rods, reels and tackle on display yesterday were able to be bought at the show, I reckon Daiwa’s sales would have dwarfed Shimano’s by ten to one.
