Dicks couldn't give away free tackle to get me in their stores.   The people who run Dick's hate people like me and have stated so on numerous occasions.   I like my 2A.

My problem with Dicks is that they are now "Dicks Clothing, Shoes, Golf, and oh yeah, we have some fishing stuff." I have yet to find anyone in the Fishing Department who knows anything about fishing. And a lot of times their ads show stuff that is not even available in the store, and is sold out online. I find that very sad, as the company was founded in Binghamton NY which is 25 miles from where I live. As a kid, one of my greatest joys was going to the original Dicks store and buying fishing gear. On another note, they are currently building what is touted to be the biggest Dicks store in the world in Binghamton. It will be interesting to see if they carry a better selection of fishing gear there.

They don’t even carry fishing stuff at ours.

This is pretty accurate at the ones here too. Fishing tackle isn’t what it used to be. But it’s still there in some fashion.

 

Honestly they would not be my first choice anyways for fishing tackle. For work out apparel, shoes, and other sports equipment, they are pretty good.

 

Dont really care if they sell firearms or ammo or not anymore. I wouldn’t be there for that anyways even if they sold it.

That’s a nice score! The fishing section at my local Walmart sucks and they never have sales like that.

That is a score!   If we go to a Walmart, I always tell my wife I am going to check the fishing and clearance aisle, and I always come back to her with my head down and pouting.

Haha yeah every time I check out the fishing section at Walmart I’m always like “why did I even bother?”.  The ones around here carry nothing but regularly priced junk.

Same as my local Walmart. They used to have great clearance sales about 4 years ago but now nothing and their selection almost never changes from year to year. They have some new stuff like Googan baits and this year they're selling Yamamoto Senko's but other than that I swear it's the same baits they've had for years! That being said, not all Walmart's are created equal, many carry different equipment/baits and some still do have good clearance sales, I went to another Walmart about 50 miles away and was able to pick up a Yum Mega Pack of their 5" Thumpin' Dingers which included 5 packs of 20 each in Green Pumpkin, Black w/Blue Fake, Watermelon Red Flake, June Bug and Red Shad colors and it was on clearance for $15.98 (normally $28.98).

I've had really bad luck with the lighter test fluorokote - anything under 10# has broken very easily.  I hope you have better luck with it than I.

Id say try some, been using 17# the last few days worming. Spools up like mono, lays on spool great, not stiff at all, sinks and noticed it stays clean and doesnt turn icky colors in backwaters. Hell to break too, sounds like a gun going off! At four bucks for 300 yards, go for it. I use older Abu round reels, I have plenty of backing and only use 80 to 100 yards at a time.

fwiw 

edit: I see the link still works, ordered some more at $4/300yards.

Downside of living in WI= Can't bass fish all year round.

 

Upside of living in WI= Culvers and Fleet Farm Capital of the World.

I am a high school coach and we have stopped twice in the same day at Culvers!!  Once on way there, and again on the way home.  It is a hit around here in Minnesota too.

There is one about 1.5 miles from my house.

 

The original Culvers started in Sauk City, WI.  I've been to it.

That would be bad for me.  I might weigh a lot more.
