I guess it's all about the required mark up to cover costs and make some profit to put back into the company to continue to advertise, innovate (someone had to come up with the designs), employ (their are a lot of people employed directly by the tackle companies and indirectly through tackle shops), provide good customer service etc
On the other hand if you are just selling cheap copies (aka Fred in a shed set up) at low margin you are reliant on volume of sales to keep going.
Which business model would you pick for long term sustainability ?
It's very easy for us to sit here and accuse the established companies of profiteering without grasping the costs.

Lets hope that they move forward now with updated and new products.
I've had an MH Typhoon for a few years now and can't fault it for the money, yep, you could argue Trakker gear is overall better but when you pick up a bargain and save a lot compared to a Trakker product surely you can't grumble.

And?
And?
Are Cyprinus back because Trakker and Aqua are bringing out new products 🤔
I had a green Typhoon MH, not the best quality imho, it faded very quickly, I had to get uprated poles for the peak and storm poles as they wouldn't stay tight and i found the ribs a bugger to get apart. Got a Frontier XD now which I'm more than happy with.
