It makes sense to increase profit margins by taking a step up the supply chain. Basic business sense. Mr Fairbrass and his crew aren't stupid. They will utilise any possible route to increasing their profit margin. Personally I think Mr Fairbrass is one of the good guys. Doesn't stop him wanting to see his company , and by extension his bank balance, go from strength to strength..

If you want to understand Korda's increasing profit margins over the years take a look at the watches DF wears in their videos and see how they have evolved in value

I don't begrudge D. F. A penny he has ever earned. The guy has worked his. arse off for years and built a company from the ground up. More power to his elbow. I buy the stuff he makes that I like and buy other stuff elsewhere. My gear is a mixture of almost every brand you can name. There are worse. Company owners in the world than Danny Fairbrass. In every industry and every walk of life. If they were all as philanthropic as him the world would be a better place

Never understand why Kevin Nash gets so much stick? I know all his gear now is Chinese tat, but so is all the competitions gear.

I wouldn't of thought Dymag would be able to produce the type of numbers Korda would demand. From what I've seen of the net it looks very similar to the old Don's of Edmonton springbow net. I even seem to remember Damien on a podcast mentioning something about giving a net to Ritchie Mac that was very similar.
This is exactly what these little glimpses in these vids are designed to do.. get us talking ramp up the interest..

A friend works quite high up in a "supply chain" type business as a PR exec. you'd be shocked at what the big BIG boys with lots of income can do to keep their clients sweet. he purchased 150 customised omega sea masters ( the cost goes down in bulk and when custom as not collectors trims ) to give as gifts to the companies they work with, if you give five of them to a company that directs a couple hundred grand of business to you it flatters them. and bear in mind thats small fry, some key contributors are flown around the world / routinely get gifts etc sickening money but if both businesses are making each other money then why not.
At least Danny seems to be putting a hell of a lot of it back into the sport, far more than anyone else. if it was all about money there is many greater things to reinvest your wealth in than fishing lakes.

I agree, what the company and Danny in general has done for angling he been monumental. Helping with fencing, all the junior stuff, reams of videos, pulling lakes out of ruin for embryo to mention just a few items. If he hadn't made a wad non of this would have been possible.
I'm not naive enough to think that there may be an anterior motive as more anglers obviously means more revenue but no one else has gone to the extremes he has.

More of the old angler style old lady gossip that is all too frequent on here. If you have got something to say, say it and back it up, if not, don't say it.
