Cabelas Bulk Bait

Anyone ever buy the Cabelas bulk bait packs of 500 worms ? The prices seem pretty good and they state they have a good shelf life, was thinkin of just buyin bulk bait this year instead of goin out of my way to the bait shop.

None of the bait shops around me offer bulk bait.

Heck yeah Hardcore, Tackle Unlimited up on 51 and don't forget Shadlure in West Elizabeth.

those prices plus shipping would be more than what a local shop will sell for.

Or better yet, order them where the baitshops order them:

Worm Mans Worm Farm
Grubco Bait Company
Beaver Bait Company
Wholesale Bait Company

Pa lures in Bentleyville. Good selection of bait and tackle.

I have to agree with hardcore fisher on this one.  I was at Tackle Unlimited last year and was very disappointed with the store.  I had heard a lot of good things about it and when I finally stopped by the store really was not that big of selection of items and the people really didn't seem that friendly for a local shop.  I thought it was me but another guy told me he felt the same when he was in there too.  I guess if they have it and I wanted it in a hurry I would stop there and pick it up as it is close but, Cabelas is only an hour or less away and they have a lot more to choose from.  I try to spend money local but service and selection always wins me over when it comes to my fishing tackle needs.
 
Hardcore I have bought the bulk baits from Cabelas and they have seem to keep for about three years from me.  I put them in gallon size freezer bags in a cool place here in the house and only take out what I need when fishing.

I would agree with you on the reel repair I would never use Cabela's or for that matter any tackle shop only the manufacture for major reel repairs. I do all my own minor repairs and basic maintenance on all my reels.
 
What suprised me was when I meet some of the people from that shop at the bass classic down at Pittsburgh three years ago they seemed really nice there.  Like I stated maybe it was the day or something but I got a truely cold feeling when I was there last year in the fall.

what kind of worms are you looking to buy? poor richards will sell you nightcrawlers in bulk. if you want wax worms, meal worms, etc... go to a Petco. 500 mealworms is around $8.00. they have superworms, different sizes of mealworms, butterworms, etc... also, they have large and small crickets for around $1 a dozen. pet stores that have reptiles and amphibians will have food/bait.

If you are at TU, then you are less than 2 miles from Shadlure. They may be a smaller shop, but they carry all the essentials and have always been helpful and willing to assist with advice/contests/questions etc.--when the PG and Trib want a local Mon river report that is who they contact.

Van's Sporting in Butler has bulk baits. I've always had good luck with them.

not sure about butter worms but I buy my bulk maggots at red's bait shop ,at the top of 3 mile hill
Red's Bait Shop Route 31  Acme, PA (724)  423-4902

I will take Shad Lure any day over Tackle Unlimited.  Shad Lure is smaller but have the essentials and will help you in any way that they can.  Not a big fan at all of Tu.  Been in there a couple of times and its like they are doing me a favor by taking my money.  I would rather drive to Poor Richards than Tu and I am literally 5 minutes from Tu.  

Where is The Shadlure ?, i work in Elrama an if its 2 miles from TU then its not far off from work.
