Form your own opinion - I agree with Ben and think using this marketing tactic is a low blow to the sport - If this crosses the wrong line please delete:

JG, this is already being discussed on Old, Stale, Negative Thread...
But I agree that this is an insult to every woman who flyfishes and fathers of daughters who flyfish. Even Ben warned about not letting kids watch his latest offering on Monday.

So is the latest Fly Fisherman magazine cover with Joan Wulff considered "empowering" to women? Got any shots of Tom Rosenbauer in short shorts?

Seems like more of the same/nothing changes without companies being called out for moves like this.

Winston must be doing something right considering Orvis decided to knock off their cosmetics on the H4 Tom Rosenbauer special. However unlike most cheap knockoffs, this one is 500$ more expensive for an inferior fly rod.
