$$$ Gouge

[Sea Dangles]

Went to an open house at a tackle shop in Wakefield on saturday.Nice shop,I had never been there.In the tent area they had some "special" deals.With the herring unavailable in Mass this year I picked up a couple of Tsunami 9" mullets.This item was marked down from 8.25 to 6.50.Went to the new location of a different store today in Newport.This store is also one of our sponsors.Their regular price was 3.99.oke:
OUCH at least they could have kissed me first.

Thats a simple case of "buyer bend over and cough."

I cant speak for wildwood officially, but i believe tsumani and storm recently started a price war with eachother and just lowered thier prices. That being said, if the guys from wildwood ordered those plastics in the fall from a Local distributer at 5 or 5 bucks a pop, they would be loosing big$$$ if they had to drop thier prices to match the current pricing.

I forget what movie it was with William Hurt in it as he was standing someplace in the capital and was feeling up Holly Hunter she said, "at least you could kiss me first!" Did you get a kiss Sea

If I had a shop, I would rather lose a couple hundred in one weekend, then lose a few customers and future potential sales of boucoup bucks. I know that I have spent thousands in only a few shops, most near me, and one or two good ones that are sponsers here.

Yep. That's how I look at it. Besides, cost on those things hasn't really changed since they came out and they only come from one distributor so I know what they cost. If they discounted them another $3 they'd STILL be making money.

My money would be on a mistake in their pricing, I just can't believe they'd intentionally be so bold. They're supposedly smart business men from NY or something; they must know consumers are more price concious then ever because it's this easy to compare pricing. Then again, I could be wrong.

Pete,

What's your opinion on the Tsunami shads compared to the Storms. Havent tried them. I use the storms alot.

Anyone tried those suspending storms? thoughts?

Sorry for the pricing mistake, we spent many hrs pricing and that one was priced as a storm. We would never price gouge, the store is locally owned and operated, a family business that fishes and hunts, we pride ourselves on competive prices and great customer service. once again I am sorry for the mistake ROB manager wildwood outfitters

Love 'em. Hooks can be a little borderline at times much like a Storm though. There is a version of the 9" that has an 11/0 shark hook, if you stick a fish with that she's NOT going to straighten it out.
