This is Zebco/Quantum we're talking about. They sell more reels than anyone Van Staal represents a very small fraction of their overall manufacturing, and they don't need a huge profit margain on them.

Charging what the market will bear is something else, and you can't blame a company for doing that. Let the market decide if they're overpriced.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
