Jabo225 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Saw that today as well. Do you know what models will be affected? Quote

newapti5 Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Not that I want to see them prices go up, but to be fair, tackle prices have been pretty much the same level as everything else almost doubled the price in this inflation. Quote
RichF Posted January 3, 2023 Author Posted January 3, 2023 I saw this in an email from Tackle Direct. Not sure if you’re supposed to assume the increase will affect pretty much everything… Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 3, 2023 Super User Posted January 3, 2023 I think it effects everything from Japan. There was a notice at work about specific electronic components going up in price starting January 9th due shipping and an increase in the Yen. This was the reason I ordered two rods and two reels before the New Year. Quote

Super User Darth-Baiter Posted January 4, 2023 Super User Posted January 4, 2023 everything is up. not sure why we think Shimano is immune to it. at least Shimano is a lot more fun than the dozen eggs I just bought for $8. 4 2 Quote

Not sure if you’re supposed to assume the increase will affect pretty much everything… To quote the TD website: "Many of your favorite Shimano products will be facing a price increase on 2/1/23. Buy now and save!" How does a product 'face' a price increase? Their retail partners and customers will be the ones 'facing' the increase. Does product already on the shelf (paid for by retailers at the pre-increase price) increase in price on 2/1/23 too? Asking for Bait Monkey even though BM probably already knows it will. 7 minutes ago, Darth-Baiter said: everything is up. Except my income. 1 Quote

Super User gim Posted January 4, 2023 Super User Posted January 4, 2023 3 minutes ago, MN Fisher said: And I thought my egg purchase last week was expensive at $3.59 I’ve seen them anywhere from $4.49 to $5.49 for a dozen here the past 2 months. I can remember them being as low as 99 cents before the pandemic. There are many factors driving up the cost of eggs. Diesel/transport costs, the avian flu, and the price of chicken feed is outrageous primarily because the price of raw ingredients like soybean meal and corn is still very high. As for Shimano…they make nice reels. Glad I don’t need to buy any at this time. 1 Quote

newapti5 Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Just got back from my local Wally World; eggs are $6.71, which used to be around $3.50 a year ago. It must be some fancy hens. Anyway, I wonder why we are talking about egg prices in a fishing forum. Quote

Super User Hammer 4 Posted January 4, 2023 Super User Posted January 4, 2023 Seen the price of Chicken lately..? I can remember when you could buy a Whole chicken for 29 cents, now a about a pound of chicken breasts is in the $11.00 range.. 1 Quote
