Phillipson Fly Rods for $25? I’ll Take Two Dozen
By Tom Chandler on Apr 12, 2008 in Underground Entertainment
Sully – Alert Underground Reader in Charge of Gear Taunting — sent along a Phillipson ad from what I’d guess was the late 60s or very early 70s (it looks like 3M might have already bought the company).
The Internet is awash in irritating boomers who say they "miss the 70s." Suddenly, I do too.

Makes sense. It’s a testament to my staying power that I still hold a grudge against 3M for buying the Phillipson Rod company and then quietly folding it, and that happened a good five years before I started fishing.
