Hi Eddie,
TickleTackle have spent a lot of time carving out a niche at the very pinnacle of tackle development and customer exploitation, sorry customer satisfaction. The only way to go would be very downmarket and we don't want to end up in competetion with the likes of Orvis and Greys.
However, I can reveal that TT is looking to move into recycling, but not in a tree-hugging or wheatgrass smoothie drinking way, of course.
Products in development by our imagineering team include a billet milled centrepin, made from phosphor bronze taken from one of Titanic's propellers, which will have wooden handles fashioned from timbers from the Mary Rose.
Second in a range of leger weights made from pieces of rock. Already done you say, but not when they are fashioned from the Stone of Scone, should guarantee exclusivity, if not notoriety.
And in order to do our bit to support struggling companies, we will take the tips of Hardy carbon float rods and have them woven into fishing baskets. An item of tackle shaped to please traditionalists but made of recycled modern materials, got to be a winner.
As always, prices for these products will not be announced, prospective customers will be be contacted after the usual vigorous and exhaustive financial vetting has taken place.......
