-nick- Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 On my way to charleston today I'm stopping by bass pro shop and i havn't been there in 6 months or so. Is there any tackle I just need to get? I'm bringing about 70 dollars and i already know some of the rage tail anacondas are on my list any other advice on something to pick up would be great! Thanks Quote
dman Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 try out a War Eagle spinnerbait if you never have Quote
Super User CWB Posted December 12, 2008 Super User Posted December 12, 2008 I'm starting to like BPS less and less and Tackle warehouse more and more. One advantage is you can actually go into a BPS and see what they offer. For online, TW seems to have better selection and definitely better prices. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted December 12, 2008 Super User Posted December 12, 2008 Bass pro is like an oversized wal- mart.Save your dough and order from ***. site. Quote
GonzoFishing Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Wish I had me $70 to blow at BPS! Quote
TrippyJai Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Yep. I stopped going to BPS. I order everything from *** now. I love how I can find everything I want, order it all at once without any hassle. BPS is always a fun place to walk around in because sometimes you find good things on sale, but overall, they aren't cheaper. I get better deals at my local tackle shop than I do at BPS. Quote
jagdbdg Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 The rods and reels are the same price (the ones they both carry, G Loomis, Shimano, St. Croix, Daiwa, Pflueger etc.) and most of the tackle is the same price between the two. Unless you get spousal discount then everything is cheaper Quote
Bassboss Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Try some rage chunks or a evolution jig if they have them! Quote
badog Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I went to BPS in early nov, and they did not have the abu garcia c4 or sx in a L.H model, also did not have any striper trolling lures in stock. the gentlemen said the would get trolling lures in stock in a month. How could you be 10 minutes from ca delta and not have this in stock, and be out for a month during fall striper run. I went to fishermans wharehouse in manteca , which had everything in stock and same prices as BPS, and spent my 300.00 at their store. I feel like BPS is just a glorified walmart, while Delta Bait and Tackle has a full selection of gear with knowledgeable sales staff. I will support the local bait shop with great knowledge of the delta and local fishing waters, with my hard earned dollars Badog Quote
djmax22 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I make a trip to BPS during their spring sale or whenever they have Lucky Crafts on sale. Other than that, I find that they are way overpriced and have done most of my shopping this year on EBAY and forum like this one. Also I have the staff at BPS to be completely full it when it come to tackle expertise. Quote
aceman387 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 i like to go there to look around, but buy almost everything at the small bait shop by my house. i found the little shop to be cheaper on almost everything. Quote
TrippyJai Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I realise they also don't have a lot of products you would want in stock as well. Most of the soft plastics don't have the colors I want, that is again why I prefer ***. I can just choose what I want and they are always in stock. One thing BPS is good for is they have great customer service. I bought a bunch of lures from there, did not use them and brought it back without the receipt and they gave me a instore credit. Quote
fathom Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 went to the bps in memphis back this spring. don't know if was the selection or what but, the only thing i walked outta there with was a t-shirt for the wife. shoulda seen the look on the cashier's face when i plopped down the cabela's visa on the counter. she was not amused.

Super User burleytog Posted December 14, 2008 Super User Posted December 14, 2008 shoulda seen the look on the cashier's face when i plopped down the cabela's visa on the counter. d**n, I may have to get a Cabela's card just to do that. Especially since BPS and I get along about like oil and water. Quote
Steven Ladner Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 It's easy to order from tackle warehouse also, shipping is quick and you can pay using paypal. Quote
