To make things very clear, Matt has nothing to do with TF Gear. Many shops and Internet sellers still refer to Matt Hayes TF Gear and there is still kit being sold that bears his name under the TF Gear brand. Matt would like all of his followers to know that he does not endorse TF Gear and derives no benefit, financial or otherwise for the kit that is being sold bearing his name and the TF Gear label. Matt will shortly announce plans to launch some exciting new products, including a clothing range that is official Matt Hayes product.

There is great potential here to go on divorce free holidays with some big game fishing included.
