Tongue in cheek UJ,
It's a demonstration, not a test. We're talking about Echo right? So the YouTube pitch / demonstration worked.

Different product, same idea?

Then there are those on-line fly rod shootouts. Creating a Buzz about a brand or a product, it's all about the Buzz!

Anyone notice that all of the Far Bank fly tackle companies have changed their logos? Sage, Rio and Redington.....Buzz baby Buzz, creating a new look, a new feel, keepin' it fresh!
