The shelves of both brick & mortar and on-line stores seem empty of a lot of fishing products this summer. Can't find any of my favourite Z-Man and MaxScent plastics...tungsten weights...certain Gamagatsu and Mustad hooks...SunLine FC line...etc, etc.
I was in Bass Pro last week, and whole sections of fishing gear were completely wiped out.

Is this a Covid related thing ? Shipments from the US being held up ? Manufacturers (US and China) shut down production for a while ? A lot more people fishing because they can't travel ?

Any of the retailers out there have any comments ?

I haven't been able to order any of the Pure Fishing (Berkley, Abu Garcia, Power Baits etc), products thru my Ambassador program, pretty much all year. I've been told it's due to shipping and availability issues in the US.

As for stores...I think a lot of people have been fishing or taking it up again.

The lakes and rivers are packed and I know of a couple friends that had been looking for used boats without much luck.

They're sold very quickly and talking with a guy in a motorcycle shop, he said there's not much available for bikes, no dirt bikes at all and his business has been amazing this year.

Great Lakes Fishing Podcast had a tackle rep on a while back (link below) - apparently fishing tackle is the new toilet paper.

Went to both pro bass shops and the shelves were empty, couldnt believe how bad it was, try some of the local shops they might have what you are looking for.Stopped at sail in oshawa they had a few of the z man products left
