1) No question VS helped define the high-end segment of the reel market.
2) I'm sure the bass tournament fishing phenomenon helped dupe people into parting them from their hard-earned cash.
3) Evidence of people willing to pay $500 for a ***freshwater reel*** tells me there's an awful lot of liquidity sloshing out there. Bad sign for you inflation watchers.
