no matter what other sub-texts might be in play, when you put jim murphy (the founder of redington, former owner of albright, and now head of hardy usa), the legendary prowess of hardy greys ltd, and andy mills together to design saltwater fly fishing tackle; you've got some serious mojo in the room!
for any who don't know, redington bears that name because it was hq'd originally in redington, florida, where jim murphy designed, marketed, and built an entrepreneurial line of saltwater rods and reels that were truly cutting edge in many respects. and albright was also primarily known for saltwater peformance.
