I'm a Penn man 100%, but I don't see anything wrong with Shamino selling to comercial fisherman.
LP is a huge longline supplier but I would not stop buying their mono or lights because of that. Most of the bait Co. sell to the commercial guys also.
What is the point you are trying to get at, I’m not sure I understand? Are you pissed at Shimano for selling to commercial fisherman?
Commercial use is the ultimate test of gear anyway.

Most of our gear and techniques are derived from the commercial guys. As QQ says below. :thumleft:
