On the long list of things that I get really stoked about over the ten plus years of writing The Fiberglass Manifesto (while being on some outer edge of the fly fishing industry) is following, and at time helping along in some small ways, the story of small shop fly rod builders and gear makers.
Ten years ago I came across Vedavoo (which I shared in this T.F.M. post) while messing around online and over time have watched as Scott Hunter has shaped his company, designed rock solid gear and stuck to his mantra of "Better American Gear". A lot has changed in that time. Scott isn't doing all things from his garage anymore, there are "employees" instead of "employee" and the gear, while keeping a lot of the same aesthetics, is more refined. You can bet that each piece in the Vedavoo line up has years of thought, sweat and even tears behind it.
If it's been awhile since you've looked around the Vedavoo website, take a few minutes to do so again. This is also a good reminder that I have a box full of new Retro Fly and Comrade Vedavoo gear pieces to get up on the T.F.M. Store page for sale too.
Scott, congrats on the first 10 years and looking forward to seeing where this will all be in ten more.
