Stock up on tackle now?

Bloomberg quoted Nomura analyst Ting Lu as stating, “The power curbs will ripple through and impact global markets. Very soon the global markets will feel the pinch of a shortage of supply from textiles and toys to machine parts.”

Nikkei reported that an affiliate of Foxconn, the world’s biggest iPhone assembler and a key supplier of Apple and Tesla, halted production at its facility in Kunshan in Jiangsu Province on Sunday due to lack of electricity supply. Another Apple supplier, Unimicron Technologies, also halted production in Kunshan on Sunday, said Nikkei, citing regulatory filings.

The New York Times reported on power outages in the heart of China’s southern manufacturing belt, in Guandong. Factories in the city of Dongguan have not had electricity since last Wednesday. The Times interviewed a general manager of a Dongguan factory that produces leather shoes for the U.S. market who has kept his operation running with a diesel generator and who said that power outages began this summer.

True, but fishing tackle was affected. My local Walmart has had almost no fishing line until very recently. My local Cabela’s is still very low on rods and reels.

It was shortage of hooks here. Academy had zero hooks in July

When we make our monthly grocery run to Wal Mart etc I make a stroll through the fishing aisle. Never a bad time to buy fishing gear. Last spring the shelves were bare and stayed that way well into summer.

Not a bad idea

Never go thru a fishing isle without buying at least one of something. Sometimes it's a small purchase & sometimes not. Whether I need it or not has nothing to do with it. It will get used eventually.

That's what I have always done
