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 !!!
