Hardy/Greys company sold

[Big-Bass]

Looks like Hardy/Greys has been sold. I wonder if quality will change for the better or worse? Now they belong to the same company as many popular bass brands.

Pure Fishing is owned by Jarden who owns such brands as Coleman, Crock Pot, Mr Coffee, Marmont, Oster, etc. Basically they just buy up brand names. Jarden (trades under JAH) has been a great stock and weathers the down markets very well.
