Thought I would share a few short video clips from the TV show 'How It's Made', and others showing some manufacturing processes of fishing-related gear.

Glad you found them interesting/educational. These are just some videos I pulled off of YouTube. The only factories I've toured were Bayliner Boats and Berkley Trilene.
Anyone can certainly feel free to ad any videos of similar subject matter to the existing thread.

John, I've seen many of these videos already, but the CeraKote Application video was very interesting to me, thanks for posting.
That video answered the few questions that I had, one, I would never try it myself ;D, two, I get an idea of how much someone would charge if I wanted to get it done ;).
They look awesome, but I believe I need to keep pushing Alan Chui on the stainless steel parts... might be cheaper :-\.
On another note, I've seen some high performance cars being manufactured using carbon fiber, including the motor components. I'm now waiting for someone to manufacture a boat from carbon fiber, that would be awesome.

There is also a cool episode of 'Factory Made' on manufacturimg an Avet reel that just aired on the Discovery network, but is not yet available on YouTube.
