A local company here in the UK came up with an idea , Magnet-ique a brilliant and innovative product to keep your flies safe , as a friend of one of the Directors I listened with interest on the new products development . I was even given an early model to field test . I witnessed the time and effort needed to develop this new product for the market.
This is them....https://www.magnet-ique.com/
I also know that every effort has been made to keep the manufacturing local , keeping several small local businesses busy during the pandemic . I also know that discussions were being had with American companies to sell these over in the States. So its a disappointment now to know that Southfork Products have shamelessly ripped of the design , Also proudly declaring made in The USA . The supply chain also selling them will I am sure have been aware of the infringement of intellectual property rights . I guess its a sign of the times , but its a shame US businesses behave like Chinese ones and for me makes me less bothered about buying cheaper Chinese rip offs of American fishing tackle. Certainly here in the UK Magnet- Ique and its associated companies are a well loved brand and I feel sure that people will remember South Fork Products brand for the rip off merchants that they seem to be.

A shame this product was stolen and sold in the US when it was actually developed in the UK. I watch Shark Tank and a lot of the products they feature on that show has the same thing happen to them. thanks for sharing
