WCUboy,

Retail 101: Drop prices when the demand is the least, raise them when demand is at it's peak.

Sales over until next fall.

Most fly fishing type businesses run their 'sales' in the fall, when buying interest in fly fishing gear is at it's lowest.

Now that we're heading into spring, anglers are thinking about fishing more and about holidays/work/family issues less. Folks are actively shopping for gear, so now is the time for sellers of tackle to go 'full retail' and try to make some profits.

Basically, you missed it for 2010. But if you are patient, it will come back around again in 2011.

Also, there are many sources for tackle other than Albright. If you take the time to shop around, you can find great gear at good prices from a plethora of sources.

Good Luck!

Buddy
