It is kinda strange how some shops will charge up to 50% more for some stuff. I always shop around, but normally stay loyal and pay a premium when the guy behind the desk is helpful (and a sole proprietor).

All that said. I'd still be interested in Randy's idea of getting group discounts at any of the mainstream boating/tackle stores. Case-in-point, BassPro had the new Rapala fish grip/scale but my local guy didn't. So I bought from BassPro. Paid $79.99 to BassPro and I'm sure the local guy would've charged $85-$90.
