BassinTom -> RE: Support your Local Bait & Tackle Shop (5/11/2008 10:37:41 AM)

I have to agree about all the big box stores, I think they have done the most in putting the small guy out of business because they handle more product sometimes. But with that statement, I also hate to go to Gander Mt, Dick, Cabela's, and BPS because they never seem to carry what I want or need. The shop on union cemetary road in greensburg was a nice shop just like Strawpump sporting goods and Harrisoncity sporting good was too but, like most they are now gone because in part of big box stores and the ability not to be able carry what people want.
I use alot of mepps lure when fishing the streams and some lakes. Most of the smaller shops don't carry the lures because there is so many sizes and colors to handle and they can't afford having product on the shelves that only sells a few to certian customers. On that note also the big boxes stores only carry the favorite colors that sell the most it seems. I have had to revert to going straight to Mepps for one to buy what I want and some other manufactures as well. I wish the little shops carried what I want as I would support them and most likely save a few dollars at the same time.
In the end I guess we all try to help the little shops out but sometimes it is hard if they don't have what you are looking for when you need it.
