He was banned but it no longer shows it under his name. After the mess he made on facebook Im sure he is no longer welcome here but that's between him and the forum staff.

Don't forget ,Lucky Strike Baitworks. If I had to choose only one spoon it would be Their Devil bait perch pattern . It catches fish more consistently than anything in my box.

I will be the first one to admit it....

Canada doesn't have any top notch fishing gear company.

Also the companies that do exist in Canada doesn't jump onto new trends and doesn't innovate. They don't release many new lure and sell the same old lure they sold back in the day.

I wish there was better Canadian fishing companies.

If anyone wants to start one, hit me up

Made right in Alberta too, Lacombe to be exact!
Lucky Strike is in Peterborough Ontario , and I believe Gibbs in in B.C.
Don Anderson among others build top shelf fly rods as well
Whoever said there is no top notch tackle made in Canada is either a moron or is simply a troll .
