Why are minnow, crankbait and popper three quotations rather than one?
Short answer
Because each one is a different mould and a different assembly. A minnow is bought for a suspend-or-float behaviour, a crankbait for a diving depth class, and a popper for its cupped face and splash.
In detail
They can share a factory, a finish line and a hook supplier, and still need three separate prices.

|---|---|---|
| A mixed range | Whatever the retailer shelves together | Three moulds, three assemblies and three quotations - not one line with a blended price |
