If you saw their dealer contract you'd understand why no-one wants to do business with them.

Salty... What you said makes a lot of sense... They probably make it a real pain for smaller companies to deal with.

I'm in sales and I cal on a major (non fishing related) chain retailer in North America. All big box stores make it a huge pain for manufacturers to deal with that's costs all suppliers and drives up consumer costs. This includes (substantial back end rebate programs, logistics requirements adding huge costs, heavy fines if those requirements are not met to a "T". Like Health Care, it's really out of control. As bad as it is for big players like the company I work for, I can't imagine how bad it is for "the little guy" when dealing with major big box retailers.

I just uncovered yet ANOTHER 704z from the parents basement made in the good olde U.S. of A. america F yea. The thing is freakin flawless with the white junk still clinging to the knob, and the original style bail. Must have never been used no grime. I gotta remove the clicker though.... wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? I have 3 704z's now that were unearthed down there! makes me wanna just start shoveling stuff around. might find gold
