Go to Fishusa.

Fortunately my job lets me get to erie quite often during steelhead season, with that in mind i have been to bac a few times in an emergency but you can not beat the prices or service of poor richards.  I have bought 2 cortland noodle rods off of them this year and you cant beat there price ANYWHERE.
 
  They are also having an awesome sale right now on there cortland fly rods for I believe 69.99 or 79.99.  These rods are lifetime warranty and poor richards backs it up!  I bought a rod for my father for his birthday(not a cortland) and he broke it in 3 places before he even caught a fish with it.  When I was buying him the cortland as a replacement I was telling the lady waiting on my at PR ( I believe it was dotty) and she said bring it in and she handed me a brand new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Im sory but you dont get service like that many places any more in this day and age.

I apolagize in advance for my spelling, I am a college grad but my spelling still sucks!

Just don't buy single eggs , one at a time price gouged minnows or emeralds that they never run out of LOL  at BAC . The hard single egg variety ( the ones that last a few casts on a salmon egg hook) are labeled as being hard and are soft as are all tubes on there counter . I believe a marketing ploy because noone I know fishes the soft variety so we'll just mark em as hard & sell all soft . Told me some BS about that is how "the guys" want em . If you can't sell em go lay one . Just my personal experiences/opinion no more money from my friends & I . As for fish usa & poor richards cudos to both .

Well, go ask about BAC on their website.

Sugar,
 
FishUSA is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and you can stop in the shop to test drive a rod. We stock many models of rods, from various manufacturers. The address is 901 W. 12th St and you can see the directions here:

Thanks
 
 

Yes, Fishusa has a storefront (small but workable). I have stopped in there several times and the guys at the counter are quite helpful. I believe it's 12th and Cherry.

Well by opening a can of worms you sometimes catch a fish.  Thanks for letting us know about the fishusa store in Erie, I did not even know they existed.
 
GET THE DRIFT

Dream Catcher I agree with you. I don't buy eggs at BAC anymore because of that reason. As soon as I would put a size 14 wire hook into it, it would disintegrate and I'd have nothing but a shell. Happened several different weeks and they assured me the ones they were replacing were better. Not a chance, some soft type so I quit going there.

To me, bad product at a bait shop is like food poisoning at a restaurant, you don't even want to take a chance on going back and the bad news spreads quickly.
