KP Duty Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 If you are the top seller of a product, it's great advertising to let everyone know. The latest crest commercial brags that they are the best sellung toothpaste. Ford makes sure everyone knows the f150 is the best selling truck in America. Why don't tackle manufacturers do this? 1 Quote
Super User Tennessee Boy Posted March 31, 2022 Super User Posted March 31, 2022 The top sellers probably do but they're probably not who you think. I don't know if they're still doing it but I've seen Zebco mention in adds that they were the top selling brand of reels. 1 Quote

What if the holding companies put out figures. Pure Fishing - Abu, Berkley, Fenwick, Pflueger, Shakespeare, Zebco...and others. Normark - Rapala, Sufix, VMC, Storm...and others. Quote

Well, a little digging Rapala/VMC - 2020 sales $261m - public company, traded on NASDAQ Pure Fishing - 2019 sales $500m - private company. Oh - an addendum As of last February - Pure Fishing's owners now hold almost 20% of Rapala/VMC's stock. "According to a stock exchange release from Rapala, US-based Sycamore purchased 7.5 million shares, which represents 19.23% of total shares and voting rights." https://angling-international.com/2021/02/18/pure-fishing-owner-invests-in-rapala-vmc-corporation/ 1 Quote
