Reason for closing down? or is it a sign of the times.
Having been to the tackle trades show 2 weeks ago and chatting to some of the suppliers / importers , the feedback I received was that the market is dead!
This is probably due to a number of factors ... Rand exchange rate , poor economy etc.
The guy that used to go every weekend fishing now only goes once or twice a month. This in turn means he now spends less money buying hooks , sinkers , bait etc.
With money being tight for many people , buying tackle also poses a challenge.
Retailers now face a low turnover and obviously hold back on placing orders with the suppliers / importers ....
Just my 2c
