I have found a press release dated 11/06/2008 statingthat Rapala have bought the Sufix brand.
'Rapala VMC Corporation ("Rapala") and Yao I Co ltd ("Yao I"), one of
the leading manufacturers of fishing line in the world having its
offices in Changhua, Taiwan, and fishing line factories in Taiwan and
China, have decided to conclude an exclusive supply agreement for the
supply of fishing lines. In connection with this arrangement, Yao I
has agreed to sell its Sufix brand, including all intangible assets
relating to Sufix branded and other fishing line business (excluding
manufacturing related), to Rapala.'

Does this mean that Gardner can no longer supply Sufix lines or are Gardner part of Rapala as well?
If not won't this put a big dent in the catalogue of lines and hooklengths supplied by Gardner?
