Why is fishing so Expensive these days?

[OldTimer]

Been to a bunch of so-called "tackle swap meets"........... little swapping occurs (if any)............. think of them as a "cluster garage sale".

But that's not to say there aren't deals. Great place to get tackle at bargain prices - or find parts for that old reel.

I have heard of friends pooling their unwanted stuff and getting a single table to sell what they can to reduce costs and present a bigger stock to the patrons.
