try to buy a house.what cost 200,000 3 yrs ago is 760 now.I hear what ur sayin seems to be the tackle companies make a low end an a high end.the middle is gettin smaller an smalller.200 dry tops 300 blanks 600 reels 135 for a plug bag.i thought S-Bass fisherman where stingy.Some is worth it others I don't know.I like the Van Stahl an all but I just can't convince myself its as good as 4- 706's.Why is a 3 once leadhead worth 2.50 each.I guess cause they sell.An it seems 20 is the price of a 2 oz wooden swimmer. Madness I tell ya thats why I make most of my own stuff.I make things better anyway.But even things like hooks an stuff is gettin stupid.
