Professor of Flyrodology?

A professor at the University of Washington who is working on in flight showers for intercontinental travelers also helped the manufacturers of Sage fly rods find and correct an defect in their manufacturing process that was costing them several million dollars a year in rod rejects. "What they found was that sometimes they were making not exact wraps of the material - sometimes they would go just one and a half times around so it wasn't even," Seferis said. "They were able to help Sage optimize their manufacturing process."
