Pure Fishing suing Shimano over patent infringement

I also made the mistake of buying a bulk spool of Vanish, filling all of my spinning reels with it and then going to a club tournament. I got broke off all day long. By fish, weeds, air, water etc. I was so disgusted I threw the rest of the spool away when I got home.

Been using P-Line ever since.

I have to imagine that part of this would be because Pure Fishing has changed hands too.

Pure Fishing is a global family of quality fishing tackle brands, offering a broad range of products that meet or exceed the needs of today's anglers.

2007 - Pure Fishing and Shakespeare Fishing Tackle join forces to form the world's largest fishing tackle company, adding the Shakespeare, Ugly Stik, Penn, All Star Rods, Pflueger, and XTools brands.
2004 - Stren is acquired
2003 - 7Strand joins Pure Fishing
2000 - Pure Fishing acquires the Mitchell, Johnson and Spiderwire brands from Johnson Worldwide Associates
2000 - Outdoor Technologies Group becomes Pure Fishing
1995 - Abu Garcia joins Outdoor Technologies Group
1988 - Berkley Fishing acquires Fenwick and becomes Outdoor Technologies Group

What your list doesn't cover is that Pure Fishing itself was acquired by Jarden Corporation in 2006. That was a major change for them. Jarden Corp is a really big company owning a long list of brands across many markets. That will definitely affect corporate philosophies.

For line
The McCoy is priced right and made in the USA

P-line is (in my opinion) not over priced, and is also made in the USA (Texas... where everything is made bigger and stronger!  LOL!!)

I'm not bashing P-line. I know we all have favorites
But comparing apples to apples

P-line CX is 9 bucks for a 300 yd spool and the McCoy Mean green is 18 bucks for a 1000 yd spool
So it's about a 1/3 the cost
Both work
