Anyone hear this yet?

As far as I've been told it's entirely conjecture at this point. There's been talk, but nothing substantial.

I know that Shimano bought G loomis, but I didn't kow they were talking about buying Jackall.

if shimano buys jackall, i will be mad

Umm well Shimano bought GLoomis in 1997. But I heard Jackall the other day

I really hope Shimano doesn't buy Jackall. They're one of my favourite companies and I love their baits. Who know what will happen after if they get bought out.

shimano is not good, i dont want jakcall's quality go down. look what happend to nrxs when they came out. they were defective.

this is what happens when you use shimanos

Agreed. Shimano has certainly run down the G. Loomis brand. Sad to watch, really. I would not expect great things if they buy Jackall.

Maybe Shimano is on a buy-out mode right now, because I heard that they might have purchased Lunker City ( Slug-go ).

Quote from tackle tour. Not a purchase but joining forces.

Introduction: More and more reel manufacturers are now joining forces with lure manufacturers to offer a complete spectrum of tackle to anglers and this morning Shimano broke the news of a sales, marketing, and distribution agreement with Jackall Lures

Hmm interesting...
