Ineresting bit of kit. New one to me so did a bit of 'Google Research' and found the following:
Final Closeouts for these products.
Managing Partner Note:
In 2007, there was a consolidation in the fishing industry. Pure Fishing & Shakespeare (the maker of Pflueger brands) merged. Later that year Coleman acquired Pure Fishing. Since that time, there have been a
number of product line changes, rationalizations and deletions, especially in the fly rod and reel segments. Some of
these changes included the removal of the Pflueger Supreme reels, Pflueger Summit reels, and most recently the
Pflueger Trion fly rod series. Now in 2010, the Pflueger Trion spare spools are now on closeout, so it would appear that
the Trion fly reels are next to go. That's too bad. They were good products at great prices.
Also in 2010, Pure Fishing is changing their distribution model and order requirements, which greatly impact the ability of
stores like ours to compete effectively. In essence, we would be required to purchase from a distributor (Middle man) and
pay higher rates unless our order volumes increase dramatically. Imagine that in this economy?!
So unfortunately, we've made a management decision to stop carrying the Pflueger line of rods and reels. It's just not a
good business model for us anymore. We will sell-out all that we have in stock . But unfortunately we cannot purchase
any new inventory. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.
