Do you realize how much Federal Excise Tax is lost every time one of these pieces of crap is imported into this country, whether it's a reel or a lure. They pay excise on the import price because that's considered "the final point of manufacture"

If that reel or lure was made in the US you pay 10% of the wholesale or constructive sale price. But because they pay on the import price it's not even CLOSE to what is paid by US manufacturers.

Disgusting.
Smaller version of basically a clone of that reel is $5.88/20pc
We'll call the bigger version $10/20pc

Cabela's buying by the thousand @ $1?
