Fishing products company moves back to U.S.
Here's something you don't see every day, a company moving its operation back to North America!
Aquateko, the fishing products company that we wrote about last winter that makes a clear fluorocarbon swivel called InvisaSwivel, has moved its operations from Taiwan to Florida.
The reason, says its owner, Keith Kessler, in a news release, is the firm can improve the quality of its products.
Besides InvisaSwivel, the firm also makes a unique titanium leader material called Knot2Kinky that should be ideal for catching northern pike along with other sharp-toothed fishes.
This wire leader is stretchable and does not kink, allowing anglers to tie it onto their lures just like you would fishing line. Its small diameter could also go undetected by spooky walleyes. If so, then walleye anglers could also boat the northern pike that have been cutting off their lures when fished with plain fishing line all these years.
Aquateko has a web page dedicated to the best knots for its InvisaSwivel and Knot2Kinky wire.
There's more good news to the Aquateko story. The company's products are now produced in Jacksonville, Florida, in a center for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
