I passed through Page last summer with intentions of visiting the Yamamoto
operation just for fun. A young woman at the airport told me how she used to
work at their plant, she called it a sweat-shop, said she was glad to be out
of there. I don't know if it really is, but I decided to skip the visit
after meeting her.

I still like and use their baits.

No different then the gas station off the exit ramp charging 22 cents
more
per gallon then the guy a 1/2 mile away. Supply and demand dictate.

That 33% would be a very conservative number, speaking as a retailer
that
bought soft plastics at wholesale and sold them retail. GY is the MFG
that
sells direct. Welcome to the U.S.A. and the American Dream. All the
fishing related product's selling prices could be cut in half and the
MFG,
Wholesalers, and Retailers could still make a fair profit. That won't
happen and why should it when you and I are willing to pay higher
prices.

It's all about supply and demand, and the demand for fishing products
is
high. So why not jack the prices through the roof and make a ton
while
the
"Getting It" is good. Because next year, it could all dry up and fade
away.
