Cabela's for the quality or hard to find stuff...  Wal-Mart for the basics (hooks, sinkers, certain types of line, floats, etc.) that I wouldn't want to pay shipping on.

I like to buy my tackle from the smaller individual shops.  I'd rather give my dollar to "Mom and Pop" than the large retail chain, usually get better info too.  ;)
May your doorknobs smell of fish!!

Man, this one is a tough one. I llike getting my stuff from Dick's only because I tell all relatives and friends that for gifts I would like a Dick's card. So for birthdays, father's day, and Christmas I get tons of Dick's cards, so I get most of my tackle at no $ out of my pocket and I love it. Plus, Dick's always has great sales, that is when I get most of my stuff. Bass pro and cabelas don't have the sales like Dick's does, but they have more of every color, so I do get stuff from Bass pro and Cabelas, too, and I'm not running up the credit cards.
So for convenience, deals, and no $ out of my pocket, I would have to say Dick's sporting goods.
Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that!

I live with FEAR everyday, and sometimes she lets me go fishing!

Since Gander Mountain opened in WNY, I've been geeting most stuff there but I usually go where I get the best prices on what I am looking for.  Basically I shop at all the places on the list and then some. 
A lot of money is tainted, t'ain't mine and t'ain't yours!

i get mine all over the usa. i have a friend in va that ties all my small hair jigs for me at a fraction of the store costs. i went to biglots in mattydale when they ist opened and bought 1000 gold and bronze size6 aberdeen hooks. they were marked 50 for 50 cents. tom mann brand too. my bobbers i usally pay cost for like everyone else. i get my plastics bulk like small tubes and some twisters. i like to buy enough so that im not persuaded to go into the higher priced stores and usually enough so that im all set on tackle for years to come. i just started buying my jig hooks bulk [ 28.00 per 1000 delivered] and make my own using small round sinkers and crimp them on using pliers. hey it  works for me. i can make them up for around 3 cents each. i was paying up to a quarter apeice!!!!!!!!! no more.

Bass Pro - Wal mart - Dicks - Gander Mountain and Cabelas. Walmart and Bass Pro are real close to home for me. Dicks and Gander when traveling to pa and Cabelas shop online. There can never-ever be enough fishing tackle out there ;) I also enjoy stopping in at smaller tackle shops when traveling cause you can sometimes find great tackle at rock bottom prices and meet really friendly people.

I buy some stuff from bass pro. One of my 2 river trout reels is a bass pro specialty. I also have a medium action rod for bass that is bass pro. It is my fav. lake rod.
But besides that, I buy from 2 stores: The chain Sportsman's  Warehouse, and the local store, Gene Taylors.

I get most of my stuff from the local guys. I try to avoid the chain stores. The local shops are the ones open at 6am or earlier when I need to get something I forgot and they are also the ones that carry the bait.  I think they deserve my business more then the box stores. The little extra money is worth it for all that they do.
