This company doesn't appear notable, the best I could turn up on a WP:BEFORE was a paragraph in Field & Stream from 2007. BuySomeApples (talk) 09:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I found a few mentions in mags such as F&S but nothing in-depth that would meet WP:ORGCRIT. --CNMall41 (talk) 11:19, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and wow promotional. I find this link in the Smithsonian but it talks about the material [1] the fishing rod is made from, not for the company itself. Oaktree b (talk) 15:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b: good find! I wonder if there's enough about the material to make a separate article about that. BuySomeApples (talk) 05:57, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There might be, I didn't look that far. It's an interesting concept, carrots to plastic. Oaktree b (talk) 12:50, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What do you know, it already exists! I think there's room for improvement though. BuySomeApples (talk) 07:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - undisclosed paid-for spam. MER-C 04:15, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NCORP. Having studied and written on hunting licenses and fishing, and that my domestic partner owns a dozen fishing rods, I'm somewhat familiar with the brand names. I never heard of this. Bearian (talk) 16:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
