A shop on the cape was selling them in bulk . seems someone on the pro staff was taking them and selling them to the shop with out lunker city's, OK .

Ah, that explains it. I've asked more then a few times if I could purchase in bulk but the answer was always no.

Maybe somebody will be able to come up with a viable alternative that is less expensive - but its tough to get around the branding element. Sluggos have become almost like Xerox - the consumer equates the product with the function - that's just huge.
Wally World and Bass Pro - they'll get some deals.

I'm investigating my options, since I can't pour in my new apartment, no shop or out building. In fact, I'm skipping the MSBA show this year, as I won't be set up to pour any quantities. Mike @ M&D if you are going an interested in taking some of my stock in for the show let me know and I'll pull together an inventory for you to look at.

If I get set up to pour, it will be somewhere other than under my own control, so I will likely stop all retail sales. So if anyone knows a spot in the Duxbury area, I can grab a 100 sq.ft. indoors and be able to set up a fume hood and 8" round exhaust; I'll trade free rubber for the space to pour. The alternative is to find a mentor, someone young I can train to pour for me, so again if you know anyone in the Duxbury area worth talking to let me know. I'm going to be meating with my freshwater counterpart in the Taunton area soon, he might be interested in pouring for me and himself, we will see. If I get set up, I'll be going through shops likely and not retail, as I'll only take larger orders as time will prevent me from doing small stuff.

If I do get set up soon, I can pour them as soft or durable as you want, I'll pour them so each fish rips them apart if you want. I like them more durable for myself and that is why I standardized on something that would last 20+ fish before you had to re-rig.
