It's not Mustad that's not paying...it's IGFA not recognizing it. If IGFA recognizes it then Mustad would pay...they would have to in that situation. Like acabtb said it's paid by an insurance policy usually....so the insurance company aint payin if IGFA doesn't recognize it...they leagally couldn't pay really. Their shareholders would not be very appreciative if they paid a claim that wasn't a claim.

And I don't think any court can overturn a rule that is written and governed by...basically...a fishing club. It's their "rule" not a "law" that says it's a spreader rig. I feel for the guy but I don't think he has a shot.

It's all business...not emotion or sense of what's right.
