                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations

   Results of Operations


   Net sales for the quarter ended December 30, 1994 were $53.5 million, an
   increase of approximately 21% from net sales of $44.0 million for the
   corresponding period in 1993.  Because of the seasonality of recreational
   products  sales, the Company's first quarter sales have historically
   accounted for 15 - 17% of annual sales, and the first quarter results are
   not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. 
   Sales of the North American group for the quarter ended December 30, 1994
   increased 13% as compared to the corresponding period in 1993.  European
   and Asian sales for the quarter ended December 30, 1994 increased 35% as
   compared to the corresponding period in 1993.  The European and Asian
   sales increase was magnified by the change in relationship between the
   U.S. dollar and the currencies of the European and Asian countries in
   which the Company has operations.  Excluding the impact of this change in
   the relative value of these European and Asian currencies,  European and
   Asian sales for the quarter ended December 30, 1994 increased 
   approximately 26% as compared to the corresponding period in 1993.

   The gross profit percentage declined in the current year due primarily 
   to changes in product mix and new early season selling programs in the 
   Company's North American fishing business.

   The Company incurred an operating loss of $2.0 million for the quarter
   ended December 31, 1994 as compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million
   for the corresponding period in 1993.  The increased operating loss was
   caused primarily by increased marketing and selling expenses, particularly
   those associated with the Company's North American fishing products.

   Interest expense for the quarter ended December 30, 1994 decreased
   approximately $566,000 or 32% from the corresponding period in 1993,
   primarily as a result of lower debt levels partially offset by rising
   interest rates on short-term debt.  During the quarter ended July 1,
   1994 the Company completed the divestiture of its Marking Systems group
   and used a significant portion of the $46.5 million of proceeds from the
   divestiture to reduce debt.

   The Company incurred a net loss of $1.9 million for the quarter ended
   December 30, 1994 as compared to a loss of $2.0 million for the
   corresponding period in 1993.


   Financial Condition

   Inventory and accounts receivable were $139.9 million on December 30, 1994
   or $14.6 million higher than inventory and accounts receivable levels on
   September 30, 1994 and $14.1 million higher than inventory and accounts
   receivable levels on December 31, 1993.  The $14.6 million increase from
   September 30, 1994 primarily reflects normal seasonal increases in
   inventory as the Company enters its peak selling season in the second and
   third quarters.  The increase in accounts receivable from the December 31,
   1993 levels is primarily due to the increased sales for the quarter ended
   December 30, 1994 as compared to the corresponding period in 1993.  The
   increase in inventory and accounts receivable levels was magnified by 
   the changing relationship between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of
   European and Asian countries in which the Company has operations.  Values
   of the currencies in most European and Asian countries in which the
   Company has operations have increased relative to the U.S. dollar as of
   December 30, 1994 in comparison to their values as of December 31, 1993.
   The change in the foreign currencies' values, caused approximately $5.8
   million of the increase in the December 30, 1994 inventory and accounts
   receivable levels as compared to the December 31, 1993 levels.  Current
   notes payable as of December 30, 1994 were approximately $16.8 million 
   higher than September 30, 1994, due primarily to the need to finance the
   Company's normal seasonal increase in inventories and accounts receivable.
   Current notes payable as of December 30, 1994 were approximately $26.3
   million lower than December 31, 1993, primarily because a significant
   portion of the proceeds from the divestiture of the Company's Marking
   Systems group where used to reduce debt.  The Company's Marking Systems
   group has been classified as discontinued operations for all periods
   prior to July 1, 1994.

   Cash flow from operations and borrowings under existing credit facilities
   are sufficient to meet the Company's seasonal working capital and capital
   expenditure needs.
