My dad is getting into fly fishing and is not ebay friendly . So he sends me a couple links to offer on some things, among them is this scientific anglers fly line. Now, the ebay auction depicted a picture of the green/yellow box with the red Scientific Anglers logo. What we got was the blue box with the gentleman fishing on front. The line is the exact specs we wanted/listed. My question though is did we get an old stock box of line? I don't know a ton about fly line so I don't want to make a huge fuss(I sell on ebay too), but if we got a pretty old box of line vs what we should have received, I'd want to go back to the seller to question it. Can you pros help me out? Thanks alot! Thomas

Thomas unfortunately many folks are lazy about taking photos for their listings on eBay and resort to using file photos. this seems to be the case with yours. That said old stock can be really good line- especially if never used and kept out of direct sunlight. If you got a good deal on it- then don't worry. If you paid full retail, then perhaps you have a complaint.
I use old stock all the time- the stuff works well. I'm 56 year old and my wife keeps telling me I'm old stock too.

Thank you! Ya I guess it's now just more of a deceptive deal now. The package/line doesn't show any abuse so it should be good. I appreciate it!
