Support your local tackle shops!
And here is why. I went to Atlantic Bait and Tackle the other day. Pete offered me a cup of coffee and a bagel. Sat to talk to him for a bit. A guy and his son walk in holding a Penn battle 4000 and a plastic bag. He had dropped the reel that morning and broke the entire bail assembly off the reel. He was leaving for the Keys the next day and knew he couldn't get it repaired in time for the trip. Pete goes in the back, grabs a new 4000, swaps spools, takes his name and number, and tells him to enjoy his vacation. Point is, you couldn't get that over the Internet or from Bass Pro. These are the guys that provide you with knowledge, suggestions, fishing reports, fresh bait, and customer satisfaction. Please support your local, brick and mortar tackle shops!

Re: Support you local tackle shops!
Agreed our local tackle shops need and deserve our support. They earn it every single day starting at 5am until when ever. Some times even earlier. They truely are the snchor to our sport. If you wanna call it a sport more like a hobby. So please visit spend some of the hard earned Ching with them. They are worth every penny. You can bitch and moan all you want about some prices but if they don't get our support and disappear you sport (hobby) disappears with them.

Exactly - If you want them there for you, you need to be there for them.

Re: Support you local tackle shops!
Customer service comes with a price. 50 cents more here and there is really no big deal for the price of there extra service.
One of my local shops in north jersey after 100+ years is closing there doors soon as well. The funny thing is if you are a regular at these local places they generally give you a discount so in reality they are actually probably cheaper anyway. Im going to miss this place shopping there for 30 years. Sucks but big box stores take over day after day.
