Bass Pro Shop, Sayreville ????

[GetANet]

If the miracle does ever happen you know I will be there every day!!!LOL
Spendin every dime I got!!!!

MoM and Pop tackle stores are pretty much a thing of the past except for a few and most in my area are strong with salt stuff and not much freshwater.

Dicks is really starting to get generic and lousy as well they are almost crappy as Walmart around here....

Don't understand.......I go to Walmart down South and they are like a mini version of Cabela's LOL But Up North they have the same generic crap that sits on the shelfs for years and then they stop all together because of lack of sales.
I don't know who is in charge of their ordering but they SUCK!!!!

Basspro caters mostly to bass fisherman and some saltwater. Most lures are commercials! Catering to what sells to the fisherman vs what works for fish. Almost no clearance sales on more desirable stuff like Lucky Craft among others. Cabelas is a bit more diversified. But there is a definite disconnect in marketing zones. Hope their sales staff visits this Blog and asks our opinions

i like bass pro shop brand stuff over cabela's for almost everything if you go that route, except the cabela's depth master when it goes on sale (often) for 30 bucks you just can't beat that for freshwater trolling.

the dick's in rockaway is just terrible...for years they've had some kind of idiot in charge of inventory for the fishing department...they don't get enough of a certain product, sell out, and don't re stock it for months at a time...and it happens every year with the same products...wow...how does this person have a job...

IMHO we need to support our local shops... You spend money there it stays in our local ecomomy where it does the most good. And, we need these businesses to stay in business for the things we cant get at the national big box stores.

When is the last time you were able to get bait from a big box store at 5AM ?

Can't agree with you more. Keep it local. Paying a couple more pennies (if at all) is well worth being able to get live bait and lake information.

For the North Jersey guys, Cabelas is planning to build in Monroe NY (By woodbury commons outlet stores). It'll be a quick trip up the NYS thruway to get there on a weekend, just an FYI

Both major chains mentioned are now building smaller store. Bps opened a store in Utica ny that I find very disappointing. The days of the flagship stores are over.
