Some are saying the sky is falling. I say great news! A company that knows boats bought the best boat company in the business. And they say they are not changing anything at the plant. Their deep pockets may just help the industry and tournaments. Time will tell. No one buys a company and deliberately changes what works and sells.
Will BPS keep their walleye line now? Will Keith and Gary be in a ranger soon? Will they keep the aluminum line at ranger with all the aluminum they already own? Interesting times.

Did you forget the Normark/Storm Lure Buyout. They lost buco bucks in sales when they both removed some production items and changed for the worse some others.

I think normark is doing quite well....... Lol and I think they make a great product. Although the Storm mess hurt you and me (we were sponsored) more than most. It was a fairly small market share. It was Goliath killing the competition. Don't see that here. Not the same senerio. That was a very small niche.
