Went to restock my tackle box and nearly had a heart attack. Eight dollar crankbaits? Seriously? I remember buying these for like three bucks not that long ago. And don't even get me started on the fancy new tech stuff. When did fishing become a rich man's sport? Pretty sure the fish don't care if the lure is forty dollars or four dollars anyway.

Inflation's hitting everything but you're right that fishing gear seems to have gone up more than most things. Supply chain stuff probably plus more demand post-pandemic.
Have you tried any of the budget brands from Amazon or Walmart? Not the same quality obviously but for casual fishing they get the job done.
