I agree its happening everywhere Ben. That doesn't mean we can't struggle against it though.
When they discontinued the Black BG reels , we bought enough to keep us going 5 to 10 more years ahead.
One thing iI find amazing is that for a discontinued reel , people bought them like hotcakes when Abu announced they were going to stop making them. Anyway , its so hard to find equipment you like and that's reliable , its a shame when they discontinue it or change it by cheapening it. .
The other thing i find interesting is the huge gap that's developing in fishing gear right now. There's junky stuff at dirt cheap and there's outstanding stuff at astronomical prices. Not much in between. Kind of strange the way that's going.
