2009 Top Fishing Brands
Found this online. It's the results of a survey by a company called Southwick Associations.
I couldn't find a newer one than 2009, but here it is: "FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. - Southwick Associates’ AnglerSurvey.com announced the brands and products anglers preferred most in 2009. This list has been compiled from the 34,185 internet-based surveys completed by anglers who volunteered to participate last year in AnglerSurvey.com In 2009, the top brands: Top rod brand: Shakespeare Ugly Stik (16.4% of all purchases) Top reel brand: Shimano (23.0% of all purchases) Top rod and reel combo brand: Shakespeare (25.7% of all purchases) Top fishing line producer: Pure Fishing’s Berkley line (Trilene, Fireline, Big Game, Vanish) (42.6% of all purchases) Top hard bait brand: Rapala (30.6% of all purchases) Top soft bait brand: Zoom (16.8% of all purchases) Top spinner bait brand: Strike King (16.6% of all purchases) Top hook brand: Eagle Claw (34.5% of all purchases) Top sinker brand: Bullet Weight (19.0% of all purchases) Top fly rod brand: Sage (16.7% of all purchases) Top fly reels brand: Orvis (11.1% of all purchases) Top fly combo brand: St. Croix (18.0% of all purchases) Top fly line brand: Scientific Angler (28.8% of all purchases) Top fly brand: Orvis and Cabelas tied (11.0% of all purchases, each) Top fly leader brand: Rio (28.4% of all purchases) Top fly tying material brand: White River (60.5% of all purchases) Top fish finder or sonar brand: Humminbird (42.9% of all purchases) Top tackle box brand: Plano (55.8% of all purchases) Top landing net brand: Frabill (20.2% of all purchases) Top fishing knife brand: Rapala (22.6% of all purchases) * 48% of all fishing tackle purchases involve terminal tackle (hooks, sinkers, swivels, etc.) * Largemouth bass remain the number one targeted species of freshwater fish, with nearly 60% of fishing activity targeting largemouth bass. * Saltwater anglers were more varied, with 25% of trips targeting any fish that bites, followed by striped bass (23%), flounder (21%), red drum (20%) and seatrout (20%). Please note these refer to species targeted on trips and not the number of fish actually caught." Very interesting. I'll be keeping my eye out for the 2010 version. BB
