Tight Lines Tuesday Extra Strong
by John Etchieson
Tight Lines Tuesday Extra Strong; 91 years ago in 1927 the G H Mansfield Company (EST. 1821) of Canton Massachusetts produced this EXTRA STRONG brand of Japan silk casting line that was designed to take the strongest of the fighting Musky fish. To convey the great strength of their fishing line G H Mansfield used a graphic image on the label of a man literally tearing a tree stump apart with the strength of a Hercules from Greek mythology or a Samson from the Bible. This rare line was short lived however as it was not offered in the 1929 catalog nor after and is considered quite difficult to find today, especially in unused condition.
