It really depends on what Bait & Tackle shop and what reel and rod. Large sporting goods stores (like Sports AU, Bass Pro, Gander MT, Cabelas, Etc) generally only make between $20-$60 on ANY baitcast/spinning reel- (excluding large conventional specialty reels like Penn internationals & barstock aluminum, high-end, Fly reels like Abel and Lamson).
Why? The big chain's buy in larger quantity, getting a lower initial price from the distributor, allowing them the ability to sell lower. They don't make as much on each sale, but they "corner the market" and sell in larger volume.
A "Ma & Pa" store can't afford to buy in such large volume, making them HAVE to mark up their reels and rods to turn a minimum profit. Thats why it's rare to see a full line of Branded reels and rods at any local B & T stores. On average, a local B & T is lucky to sell all their rod & reel stock per season/year.
Rods are approx the same.
You just don't make a lot of money on rods & reels unless your a big chain or a premiere Fly shop.
As a small B & T you ALWAYS make more on terminal tackle, Flys and lures. Why?
Everyone needs hooks, weights, swivels, lures, etc to go fishing. Not everyone needs a G. Loomis rod and a Stella reel to hit the water.....(lol). Even low end rods/reels work a little while- you don't need to buy a new one every fishing trip!
Hope this info helped ya?
