Chatting aboutparticular items on the Koa thread, how many of us (other than boat anglers) wear any sort of safety device when fishing from the shore, and do more of us think we should - or would if there were decent options available?
The likes of the Japanese Mazume Redmoon III (http://www.mazume.co.jp/products/0072-09.htm) are proper luxury items, but it would be very, very easy for somebody like Sakura to build a similar sort of floatation materials in to their Koa jackets - or something of similar design. The cost wouldn't need to be big at all. Probably less than half that of Japanese versions if they weren't tarted up so much.
****, can you have any say in things like this (with your direct contacts?). If we asked for a range of functional floatation/safety devices to become available at reasonable prices, would people buy them?
