I just came back from central Florida. I went on a gator tour where they also carried fishing tackle. There was a tourist from London there buying up dozens of freshwater Rapalas (wooden diving lures) that retailed for about $6. He said that the same lures would cost $25 in England!!

Imagine what some beefy saltwater plugs could fetch. Although my guess is that much of that price in London included some hefty taxes.
