Thus, I think the quality is a roll of the dice, you find out later if you got the good stuff or not.
I t hink yoiu are spot on with that assessment. 20 yrs and exposure to sun and salt water a lot is a heck of a good example of excellent quality. My net thingee really didnt get used that much and I was surprised how it went so bad.
