Good analogy. My Uncles Mikes are used 20x's more,
than any leather, in the day to day world. They hide better and stay put better.
Nothing beats practical. Now, if I only fished, would run out and buy one of those ugly things.
But fishing was WORK when I was a kid, sunrise to sunset summers on glaring salt water, hundreds of fish to catch, hundreds to clean until midnight outside by droplight, fighting off mosquito hords. Will leave fishing to others.
Had the same choices been available, then, we would have gone ugly thing every time. Too many snapped rod memories to dither with pretty toys.
