Tackle shop ratings

I voted Bass Pro Shops, I do however get alot of stuff from some tackle shops such as ISG, Smitys Bait, Gopher Tackle and PS fishing.

Definitely Bass Pro Shops and being that its only about 5 minutes away I'm in there at least once a week.

LOL!

Grid I can see where you might not have got that one off to a good start. BPS on your Honeymoon? LOL

I do ( no pun intended ) some crazy things but I don't think I would even try that one!

ps there is a sportsman's up in Wisconsin near where my daughter lives and it was a nice set-up as well but almost 3 hrs away

I go local from the 2 decent shops we have here as much as possible. When I need certain stuff, I go to Bass Pro that is an hour away.Everything else i get from *** online.

Have two academys within an hour but they dont have much fishing stuff.

I like BPS for selection and local baitshops for detailed fishing information.

I like Cabelas for online ordering.  But there is an Academy in Little Rock that I would occasinally stop by when my mom went down there for chemo treatments.  You talkin about sale bins.....

I like Dick's Sporting Goods, but only because I have an unlimited amount of $10 of a $25 purchase coupons...it makes buying Lucky Crafts a little easier on the wallet!  

If anyone wants the coupon, send me a pm with your email and I'll email you the .pdf file.

I chose BPS, because I am 10 minutes away.  I also like Gateway Outfitters.  They offer some hard to find stuff in hard to find colors.

Well considering there isnt a BPS within 8hrs of where I live. I use a great local tackle shop that does orders from everywhere has the same prices as BPS. They have exactly what I want and know me by name. They will ship just about anywhere and are only 40 minutes away from me. A great tackle shop Northern Bass Supply. Give em a look.

i voted for my local shop, its called the tackle box, they sell good stuff and the owner is very knowlegable. sorry if thats considered advertising, i didnt mean to make it sound like that.

I like BPS and Cabela's about equally. Gander Mountian is down on the list. Never seen an Academy. Dick's isn't even on the list. They are not a tackle shop, in my opinion, they're a sporting goods store.

I probably do more online business with Cabela's, with BPS being a close second. I buy more in-store at BPS because of location. With the new Cabela's opening in a couple of weeks about 5 miles away from the BPS at ST CHarles, Mo, this will change. The new Cabela's looks to be at least twice the size of the BPS. Can't wait. We're planning to be there for the opening weekend.

Cheers,

here where i live there are lots of good local shops, but i still get a lot of stuff like rods from BPS, i would have to say a tie between both.

[fish-fighting-illini]

Hey Ghoti did you say a Cabelas is opening right by BPS in St Charles?

North-Westish corner near the river right?

I've only been down to BPS once as it is a 2.5 hr drive for me. With BPS and Cabelas though I might have to make it again.

[Pa Angler]

I voted for BPS but I do like Cabela's equally.

[KYbass1276]

I voted BPS and a local shop.
