    Tackle from Japan

    I read a article on the web about the effects of the earthquake and the export of products to the US from Japan.If you have any baits and tackle that you like from Japan you just might want to stock up NOW!.It may be a long time until they are back in the export business to the US.You might see baits like the Megabass 110's going for $100ea due to the shortage. The big question is can the tackle industry in Japan survive not being able to export...

    Some of the rare color or older models have already been going for over $100. Two weeks ago a GG Perch went for $140.

    Re: Tackle from Japan (Skeeterman1)

    Thats because so many of those Yamaha have problems they need parts more readily available

    OR, $20 each, minimum order of 25qty, and I get to choose which ones. (It'll be like a suprise package)
