So, a sales rep from Shimano, oh excuse me, a "director of environmental affairs for Shimano" comes out and says this, it's suddenly true? I love the guy's name: Phil Morlock. Could he be one of these Morlocks????

Well, I've got more news to report. This is an urban myth. I checked it out on Snopes:

Whatever. I don't get worked up over URBAN MYTHS, which is exactly what that is. Geez, most of it originates from a fishing gear manufacturer's sales rep. Yeah, a salesman is a real bonifide source!   :rolleyes:
