Canadian prices !!!

Re: all the comments regarding the price of tackle here compared to that in the USA and Canada. Wal-Mart is the place to go if you are ever there, a Rapala mackerel lookalike 7" in length was £2.50, small 2" Rapala plugs suitable for say Chub,Perch and maybe Pike cost me 50 pence !! Needless to say I came back with mountains of it....a three box fishing bag was £ 17 , here its £50!! sickening aint it.
On a serious note though I am trying to see if I can get my friend to send me a big box via UPS of "samples"(;-) ). Somewhat surprisingly they are being ripped off with Fly gear, so.... the idea is to do a swap. As and when we get this sorted I will let you guys Know.

Ever tried making a list of what taxes you do pay, stealth or otherwise... we may be a little shocked by what we find
