Well said Topwater!!! The Big guys may stock all the latest the greatest, but do they greet you by name when you walk into the store? Can they tell you what the hot colour is at the local hole? Will they do what ever it takes to make you a happy customer again after something goes a foul?

I'd love to have the opportunity to visit a BPS store because it is like Disney Land to us fisherpeople, but once I've been there and done that, I'll be more than happy to return to my friendly neighbourhood tackle shop. There's no place like home.......

Good point, for sure. Example: I asked a BPS fishing dept. staff member to guide me towards the Mepps Cyclops spoons and he didn't know if they carried them / where they were shelved. Probably because he wasn't an avid fisherman, but rather someone who needed a job.

However, that being said, it is still quite the experience to see all this fishing loot in front of you and aisles and aisles of related stuff to browse through...

Let's not forget that ED (toobinator) can get anything in the BPS catalog. Even when the store opens (right ed?)

BUT I STILL AM NOT BUYING AN 800.00$ REEL no way!!!!!!!!!!
