Cocoa Channel – Consumer Alert

An astute Singlebarbed reader checks in with this consumer warning:

“I saw your piece on the Chanel Rod, and it was most fortunate, as I was approached on Market Street by a shady vendor, selling ‘Cocoa Channel’ outfits – billed as Brownline couture.”

“I immediately went ‘Fist City’ on the perpetrator, confiscated the tackle, and ran like hell.”

That’s the public spirit I like to see, hardy pioneer resolve – no issue too big, no threat too intimidating that you can’t settle with a good hemp rope and an old oak tree.

Then again, the local constabulary likely doesn’t recognize our jurisdiction, what with “Roving Editor of Law Enforcement and Swift Justice” being out of fashion of late …

SMJ included photographs of the illicit goods – after wiping off most of the blood : 

Uh, wait a minute...

 Cocoa Channel Fly Box and flies …

... SMJ, I think there's been a mistake ..

Cocoa Channel Couture Reel case and matching reel

... That's the real thing!

 … Joe, that’s the real article, only the “Brownliner Limited Edition” came with the brown carrying case, whose serial number is the expiration date on the bleu cheese carton.

If it looks like Christmas outside and someone knocks on your door … don’t answer it …

    We scrimped on security knowing most of our owners already had personal bodyguards and an entourage of assistants.

    The reel has a Sharkskin line on it – we pick up the severed fingers and arrest the guy in the hospital waiting room.

    You know I was almost fooled here. I am still a bit asleep so am a bit gullible. I have been to New York’s China Town, Market Street in San Frnacisco and And several black market streets in Seoul South Korea, hon Kong and several other countries and you are approached to buy all kinds of things. Some in official wrapping and some not, some real and some not. Anyway, I had to do a double take to get the cobwebs out.
