Fishing with the Morris Crew...Jeff, Jeffery, and Christian 8/23/2021

I use 17-20 # mono for the leader because it has some stretch in case a salmon or steely hits it. You can get away with fluoro also but beware the salmonids.

the luhr jenson snubbers will wear out after a couple years...amish outfitters makes 8" ones...i have used them for a few years now and they are still good...one good thing though is when they wear out the swivles and snaps are heavy duty and are good for muskie fishing

Apparently I have a deep misunderstanding of the fishing related gear business.

Today I managed to buy 5 Snubbers from Bass Pro in Rossford, OH.

I thought I could just buy some online but my initial search came up empty, and I found out that Bass Pro had a number of them in stock.
So today I stopped by Bass Pro in Rossford, OH and went to the marine equipment area where they sell boat seats, boat hardware along with downrigger supplies and Dipsey Divers.
A store guy was stocking in the same aisle so I asked him where the snubbers were that were shown as being in stock online.
He said they should be right in front of me. Nope. He explained that the management was rearranging the store and many things could not be found.

I thought: Perhaps they moved them to the fishing section? (where the Dipsey divers and downriggers should be, not next to the gas tanks)
Their fishing lure section is ridiculously big. As I entered the fishing area a women asked me if she could help me. I told her I was looking for snubbers made by Luhr Jenson and used behind Dipsey Divers. She replied: Oh, they should be in the marine equipment area. I told her they were not there. She was puzzled and suggested that they might be sold out.
Regardless, I started looking around in the fishing area. Sure enough, next to the wire leaders were the Luhr Jenson Snubbbers. They had 10 of the 12" units at $3.99 each.
I bought 5 of them. Half of their stock!

What is going on!?!?
There must be no more than 50 cents of material in these Snubbers and obviously Dipsey Divers are very popular on Lake Erie.
Bass Pro has huge amounts of money in fishing gear only has 10 Snubbers in stock? I bought half of their stock!!

This seems insane. What am I missing!
