Hm......Wal-Mart AND Orvis have jumped the shark.

Stupid.

He said that Orvis is going to start selling their full line at
Wal-Mart and that he's dropping his Orvis dealership and shopping for
Indian Joe opines---guess this is the death of the 500$ flyrod [ 39$
product cost- 262$ cost of sales- 199$ profit]
Reminds me of my old sailboat racing days--Lands End used to sell sailing
hardware until they found they could sell imported dresses that cost 12$
to manufacture for $149 or in the worst case ON SALE for only 30% off
!!!
How can we be elitist when the fly shop gets $3.75 for an Scientific
Anglers 7X leader and
Wall Mart has them on sale for $1.oo? different package !!!
