Well, Ol' Bob may have just written a best-seller. Got orders for sixty books over the weekend alone! This isn't counting the mail-in orders, just the internet ones.

I had no idea Bob has so many relatives. (buh-dum-bump).

So now I guess you can add "best-selling author" to his other titles of "geologist, fly fisherman, bawdy poet, and pflueger guru."

If you haven't gotten Bob's book yet, you will be sorry when they are gone!

Bob Miller's new history of the Pflueger Supreme book came in the mail today. And just skimming though the book. I found it is so packed with information and well written. It is going to take a while for it all to soak in. In five minutes reading I learned more about the Supreme reel then in all the 16 or so years of collecting reels and tackle. And I still have almost all of the book yet to read
