February 9, 2010Islander Anodizing
To our valued customers; due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been forced to find a new source for anodizing our reels. Unfortunately, different anodizing companies use different procedures and as a result, we have had to make some concessions in our anodizing. More specific, we have had to alter the colors of our Green reels and our Slate ( Grey) reels. We apologize to those customers, who already have the Green and the Slate reels, for any inconvenience this may cause and we hope you will understand our situation on the color issue. Sincerely, The Islander Staff.
