    Plastic bait prices going up

    Just talked to a dude at one of my local bait shops and he said they were informed by Megabass that their plastic baits would be going up as much as $1.50 and that Zoom plastics were going up 20%. He was told that it was due to price increases with (or issues getting) the resins. Just passing along what I heard.

    I'd believe it on the Zoom stuff. My buddy had a new pack of ol' monsters the other day and the price tag was $7.99 from a local bait shop.

    Honestly zoom has seemed underpriced for a while compared to the competition.

    The resin shortage is real. The freezing weather in TX created some unimaginable issues early this year. We still are having issues dating back to Feb when it all happened. We've seen increase higher then is what was mentioned here in the automotive world.

    Our soft plastics include the Dark Sleepers, Magdrafts, Hazedong Shad and Spark Shad....so yep a LOT of people use Megabass soft plastics.

    Zoom pretty well owns the soft plastic market so I thing millions use them.

    I was thinking the other day about how MB 110's have stayed at $25 for a long time. Has it been 20 years?

    Well crap! Looks like I need to make a run to my local tackle shop to get some Zoom stuff to hold in reserve.

    I was there last week and the pickings were slim. But, they had full racks of black/blue Z Craw Jr’s and green pumpkin Speed Craws that I should put a dent in!
