I recently visited a small Tackle shop local to me.
I got talking to the chap behind the counter and explained that I was a relative newcomer to fishing and would like to add a rod to my armoury that was capable of handling method work.
The chap as it happened didnt have anything that was suitable at the time.
He then started telling me that at times the price of carbon influenced the amount of Rods, poles etc that tackle manufacturers were willing to make, Thus it became hard for him to receive orders he had placed with them. Short supply.
Has anybody else experienced this kind of thing or was this chap pulling the wool over my eyes knowing that I was a newcomer to angling.
Did he not want to place a bulk order of rods that he might take an age to shift?
