Ron I can't disagree with the bulk of what you say. I know one tackle dealer who will, to good customers, discount on products from one particular company, but very very quitely as it has been made very clear to him that discounts off the RRP are not allowed, and if they find out it is happening they will refuse to supply him in future.
How we as anglers can influence this rip off I don't know. On a similar line one e mail campaign to reduce petrol costs was for every body to boycott one particular petrol company altogether. The reasoning being that we all need petrol but by boycotting 1 company only we would not cut off our nose to spite our face, and that secondly the boycotted company would need to reduce its price to get its market share back,thus forcing other companys to fall in line.
