Why does all those plastic mold injected products at the Japanese dollar store that have 100 times more plastic only cost a dollar??? Hooks and a paint cant cost that much! Those poor broke manufacturers like GY are wealthy beyond reasonable levels and on the backs of the working man! I know I am a working man! Neiman Marcus doesn’t have a markup like the sports industry and you don’t shop there! Somebody gotta think of the working man who has a right to a little R & R

What's the point of this thread???... If it's so cheap to produce and the profits are so high, why don't you start your own tackle company???... Then you can rip off the working man... Geez... Just go to Big Lots or Ollie's if you want tackle at a cheap price... Dan

A great deal of manufacturers spend months, if not years on a bait. As fishermen we are not only paying for the bait, but the service of them taking the time to build and design it as well. It's just business.

If there was the percentage of mark up mentioned in this thread that would be incredible.
I sell race, truck, car parts etc. 5000 plus vendors and the usual percentage between wholesale and retail is usually 10-15% with many many of the under 100 dollar items at 5%.

... also why do they charge more for gas at a marina? Because there's certain percentage of people who dock their boats on the water and it's the only way they can fill up... There's a certain percentage of people who like the convenience of pulling up to the gas dock and filling up... Plus a lot of the gas sold at marinas is 100% gasoline which is more expensive even off the water... And also, just because that's what some people are willing to pay... Dan

It's called "supply & demand".

No wrong trump baby They charge more because they can. People will either buy it or won't. Nobody is being cheated by paying the Marina prices because it's a choice.

It affects him .... you see, he bought that color selector and he bought that Jitterbug lookalike, he also was fooled into using expensive gas additives because this was obviously the first time he had ever tried an additive or else he would have known it was cheaper at any auto parts store. People like this have no chance in life because they are fooled and taken advantage of so easily.

That was back in the 80’s now I prefer to fish a small boat no big motor, no wasted time on the run n gun, just fishing where the fish are.
