Embark on a journey with Marvin Cash as he casts a line into the world of Grundens with Curtis Graves and Jim Kershaw on this episode of The Articulate Fly. Curtis and Jim, the masterminds behind Grundens' innovative product design, share their philosophy on creating gear that's not just durable but thoughtfully engineered to enhance the angling experience.
The duo reveals the meticulous attention to detail that goes into their products, from the groundbreaking Boundary waders with their unique suspension system to the upcoming Portal rain jacket, designed for the ultimate dryness even in torrential downpours. They also hint at exciting developments, like the soon-to-launch sunshirt line, ensuring anglers are well-protected and stylish under the blazing sun.
Listeners will also get a behind-the-scenes look at the rigorous testing that Grundens gear undergoes, ensuring that every product lives up to the brand's promise of keeping you dry and comfortable, no matter the conditions. With a nod to the upcoming mid-layer that pairs perfectly with the Portal jacket, Curtis and Jim demonstrate that Grundens is about more than just waders; it's about a comprehensive approach to angling apparel.
Whether you're wading through a serene stream or braving the harsh elements at sea, this episode of The Articulate Fly is a deep dive into the gear that gets you through your fishing adventures. So cast off your doubts, gear up for the elements and, remember, tight lines!
