What about retailer X that has purchased X amount of stock? He can't simply sell it for cheaper when he bought it for much more just because the dollar is stronger.
It's not practical to change pricing at the drop of a hat. What would you all say if every manufacturer and service provider changed their pricing whenever they liked? What would you say if the price went up every time that the dollar weakened?
Exactly, which is why I can never understand the petrol prices jumping up when the tanks are still half full.
Some companies are passing on true cost increases, and there are others (not really related to the GT and jiging market as a whole) who are putting 25% on as of today, after throwing about the same (and more on some lures) on about 2 months ago. Who wants to pay $30 for a bonito and salmon lure???
There is one company who has recently seen a decent price drop on a lot of gear. Pity the new dollar dramas have seen the last of that
