Fishin24/7 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I personally don't care if one company copies another company's design (that new bumper fascia on Ford's compact cars ain't American ingenuity). I care about how good the product is and how low the price is for me. As dumb as it sounds, fishing lures to me are interchangeable and brand name doesn't influence me. Cavemen used to fish with fish bones as basic lures. I could be wrong, but does Tackle Warehouse have things like anchors (not Power Poles/Talons)? I didn't find those boat related things on their site (a few yes) so that's why I see BPS as the "complete" source, albeit not the cheapest. Well shipping on an anchor would probably cost a ton.

tbone1993 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 A lot of times the local shops have no idea whats big in the bass world. They cator to every type of fisherman. On saturday I stopped in to buy some heads for hair jigs, ive known my local shop owner for 20 years. I made a comment about a bait I wanted. He pulled out a catelog and asked me to mark everything I thought people would want so he could order new stuff and put good stuff on his walls. Told me he planned to spend $10,000 a not be shy cause he wanted to make sure tournament season would do well. He ensured me he would "hook me up" The shop I worked at had a list of things to buy. We could order almost anything someone asked for. Most times we would be ordering boat parts, basically if you can name a part on a boat we could order a replacement. The other times it would be random baits or colors, mostly plastics. Quote
