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

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.

Bent Rods and Screaming Reels!

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.

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.
