Looks like it is a done deal.  This helps explain how they will handle rewards, purchases, and branding.

Maybe not so bad after all.

less competition make prices go up.....more completion makes prices fall.....I remember when a trip to bass pro had a diversity of products far more than we see today.......mom and pop lure companies like Jim Rogers out of lamar Missouri..are now a dieing breed, I hope those places survive...Big Jim Rogers hooked me and my old fishing buddy to the huge bluegills and red ears in a small lake he fished...he gave us some very heavy but small jigs tied with squirrel tail and had hot pink heads, think I still may have some....last time I knew his grand kids had a sporting goods place still in Lamar, but unsure if they make lures there anymore....I prob should go through and set back some of my old lures and original wood choppers made in Carthage......its a different world today..and I am not so sure we are better for it
