Found a tackle shop where the whole stock is discounted by 50%. Was able to buy
quality quality lures for what the price I normally pay. Many multiples of the
same type bought for future use. The discount was on account of a large
retailer moving in from down south and putting the local tackle shop out of
business. Also used the flyer from the large retailer to get the equivalent
price from Walmart for a reel. Never visited the large retailer but reaped
better benefits.
Plan on using heavier pound test since last season I was losing lures like a
fart to the wind. I don't want to lose my new costly lures. As a final comment
this off season sit it out has caused the domestic friction to subside so i'll
be ready to go next season. Also studying the arctic since i want to like to do
a fishing solo trip by kayak through the NWP and meet the inuit folk. MC & HNY
