If you had any idea of the pain....
I've been fishing with working versions for over ten years that I make myself. The factory has had difficulty in interpreting my designs and getting them to track properly, be tough enough to fish with etc. Admittedly, there are things I can do in my workshop that are not practical from a mass production standpoint.
Not to point fingers but.....the ones I make myself to my specs work perfectly..... the "corrections" or "changes" I've made to factory protos that did not work properly have involved getting back on track to my original design! I can attest the guys at river2sea are almost as frustrated as I am, but there's light at the end of the tunnel and I think we're at last all on the same page as far as design and material criteria.
I'm hoping to see a final iteration within a week or two that's put together according to plan! Keep your fingers crossed.
best
