One only needs so many Canadian Wigglers ;-)

 

[Dugger]

[AKnook]

Enough lead split shot in the rivers, no need for lead paint as well........

 

[Dugger]

lol we have Dollarama, Cheap tackle and Chinese lure threads all over the place!!!! :shock:

 

[FishingNoob]

I don't know if I have a lure from China...

I have to agree with AKnooK, I try to buy non-lead split shots. There where the same price at Canadian Tire when I was last there.

I got curious aboit all the "Matzuo Fishing Stuff" that was popping up all over the place includung Canadian Tire, so I went to their website.to have a look see.

I dowloaded their 2013 Catalogue (PDF). Looks like Nice Products. Their site is "Matzuo America" however they are from Japan.

I was also in CTC last night. Looks better in person. I wanted some some Swivels, Rigs, Hooks etc.

After comparing them to all the other Manufacturers I bought theirs.

The Quality appeared to be the best and the Price Certainly was.

I read an article on fishing equipment about a week ago. They said that a number of "Top Name Brands" ARE made in China.

I haven't had a close look at any of mine but I'm not sure if the Manufacturers are compelled to put the Country where they are made on their Lures, or whatever else they make.

Personally? It doesn't matter to me. I.E. If one of my Favourite Lures or Rods is now made in China or any other "Out Of American Country", I'm not going to stop buying it.

Oh! Hang on! (Now that I've typed all this) .."Authour Of This Post". Just now Popped into my Head!

Aren't you the same Person who put up his New Website "fishnbuddy,com" or something like that? If so you have 3 or 4 Members Comments on there, including mine waiting for an answer or Comment from you.

I was there in summer, bought 100 trout hooks for like $1 (the problem is they are eyeless), a pack of 5 jigs for $1, etc. Pretty cheap on the small items but good lures and rods were as expensive as here. It was in central part of Beijing though

That sounds like a great deal!

Not my fault your posts are funny! ;-)

I went to BPS today, there tourney cranks and Dugger's favorite plug are made in China...

Do you mean the ones with the anus marks AKA live target?

Nah, the Lazer Eye Static Shad. I think everything made that is sold under the Bass Pro Shop's brand is made in China.

If I was the CEO of Bass Pro Shops I would want stuff to be made cheaply (China/Asia) and sold with as big a mark up as possible... Even the small family owned tackle shops carry stuff from China...

The CONSUMER is the DRIVER of the MARKET!

So ... who do we Point a Finger at, the mirror.


We sold our souls (not all) about 20 years ago.

The RED DRAGON AWAKENED and SMELLED the GREED of WESTERN CIVILIZATION.



End of Story.

Indeed, we are quick to blind ourselves (for the sake of a buck) to human rights abuses...
