They are his own design but will be manufactured by someone else - knowing the Pirate; someone good no doubt. He has built up a great reputation and would not damage that by lowering his standards with another manufacturer.
Already, his new batch are getting good reviews by very experienced anglers.
Many 'brand names' are made by other companies. From what I understand, there are only a handful of fly line manufacturers who make lines for the brand name companies.
A bit like GM make several different ranges of cars for different brand name.
And, as the man himself says, why pay more for a fancy box and spool when you can get a great line, on its own (sans box and spool) for a 1/4 of the price?
