Wonder if they are going to expand their e-commerce site for consumers... Maybe lower their shipping?? :O

Lower shipping would be great!

I bet they expand their lines, merrick carried a lot of wholesale stuff only.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out

Mudhole bought out Merrick's stock! Mudhole will still be Mudhole

For personal reasons Merrick decided to close it's doors and on Monday, the sign out front said "out of business". It appears that a deal was made with Mudhole for the remaining stock which Merrick had in the warehouse. Todd from MH posted on the

site of the acquisition and from what I read not much will change at Mudhole, they purchased Merrick's stock but will never be Merrick tackle...sad day.

Oh well, I guess that means they take all that stock, throw a 10% price increase on there, and $15 shipping and call it a day. That sucks...
