First off I'm posting this in this section because it will apply to those of us doing our Salmon fishing in the valley. As usual I made a couple stops along the way home last weekend 2 a couple different tackle shops and couldn't believe the prices of weights, everything from wedge's to BB's. I was looking at prices of over $9.00 for a 18oz wedge, and for a comparison they wanted $4.49 for a 3oz BB. I was told that the price of lead has gone up so the prices have to match.
This morning getting ready for some weekend barfishing I headed into Chilliwack Dart & Tackle down the road and was happily suprised to find the prices were still within a reasonable rate. By 18oz wedge were still $3.29 and for those of you heading out for sockeye the 3oz BB's are $1.59. I asked about the lead prices going up and he said they have, but this is as high as his pricing needs to be.
So for anyone coming out this way and already paying the over inflated fuel costs, I thought I'd write this little note to let you know that some places are still keeping things in perspective. Just to add, I have no affiliation with any shops.
Here's a some pricing to compare Wedges 10oz-18oz at $2.89-$3.29 and BB's from 1oz-4oz at $1.29-$1.69. Also they had T-spoons, crocs, and Kitamats on sale at $2.49.
