Couture Angling - Chanel Fishing Rod
Chanel Fishing Rod
 Published: Jun 13, 08
Comments: 4 Views: 9,064

Looking for a gift for Dad? Couture fashion house Chanel has just revealed the newest addition to their luxury sporting goods line…an ultra-lavish fishing rod. According to the Guardian, “for a mere £9,170 the ponciest angler on the planet can kit himself out with a Chanel rod and a set of meticulously tied, monochrome Chanel flies, complete with the famous “double C” logo on the gossamer wings, presented in a rather fetching, quilted black leather box.”

However, Karl Lagerfeld producing a fishing rod is not so farfetched of an idea.  Apparently Chanel’s chic founder Coco Chanel was an ardent fly-fisherwoman (if that’s a word).

Just in case you were wondering, according to the “Urban Dictionary” ‘Poncey’ means, “The actions of one who thinks they are either overly stylish, cool or smart etc, when usually their IQ is akin to a fruit.”

More Chanel sports gear... I love it! Does Karl secretly love the outdoors, or is he just trying to tap every market out there?

Can someone enlighten me on why this took a jump today? I did it in June? Surely not because of Madonna's gun shoes?

Elsa, in general when a trend (new or old) gets unusually high traffic, it is usually from 1) being linked to or featured in a popular site or blog; 2) getting traffic from search engines (google, yahoo, live,..). That is why Jeremy often stresses on hunters optimizing their posts. When the hot keywords (in this case the chanel fishing rod) are used in the title, URL, first paragraph and a coupla more times inside the text, it gives your trend a bigger chance of being ranked high in search engines. You have to think about this optimization when you write the trend, "what would people search for if they see this idea on TV, magazine or blog?". Aside from organic search, having great content is what makes other blogs link to your story (instead of linking to other similar stories). This includes having good pictures, video, interesting related trends, and most importantly a well written and quality description of the interesting trend. If a trend is not 'better' and has more exciting things than the source story, people will link to the original content instead. Paying some extra effort in picking pics and content can bring rewards even one or two years later. And obviously, your great writing is paying off.
