Pro Bass Shop Acquires the Hobie Brand - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JohnMckroidJr · Yesterday, 10:31 AM

My local dealer has a backlog of 300K worth of Hobie merchandise - stuck in Mexico. I wonder how Trump's tariffs will effect the prices? In light of Hobie's ownership change, I wonder if the local Hobie dealer will still be in business in another year? Every Pro Bass brand product I see in the fishing department is cheaper in price and of mediocre quality. I don't see Ass Pro owning Hobie being a good thing. I believe this is the beginning of the end for creative innovation of the brand. I hope I am wrong. Comments?
