Firehole Sticks Model Number Origins
One of the biggest decisions I had to make for the product line and for the business itself, truthfully, our most important, was deciding on our hook categories and model numbers. The hook categories were a relatively easy decision but, the model numbers were another story. I could use random numbers, choose a complicated system where each digit of the number means something concerning the mechanics or characteristics of the hook, or make it simple and truly meaningful. I chose the latter. When we started Firehole Outdoors it was vitally important to Deb and I that we model every aspect of our business after our faith and the model numbers for the Sticks were no different. Each model number references a scripture in the Bible; each chosen specifically for the message it conveys. For your reference, they are shown below.

Firehole Shank AS1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
