LL BEAN where the trout swim indoors and the doors have no locks!!they are always open so you can get what you need anytime!!

That is a cool store!!  Was there once about 15 years ago.

Well I stock up when I go to Winnipeg and visit Pro Am tackle or the fishing hole. I also buy some lures at Canadian tire and walmart. Man I had a chance to visit the bass pro shop in Tennessee a couple weeks back. They had the biggest aquarium I have ever seen. What a supply of tackle. I wish we had a store like that in Manitoba.

I usually like to buy from local shops, but now there is a gander Mt. about a mile from my house and it is hard to resist doing in every week.

I was buying most of my stuff from Bass Pro but have been getting more and more from Cabela's. They seem to have a wider selection of other items as well.

I like dicks or gander mtn. but the some of best deals are on ebay.  also if anyone here is from NY and are passing the plattsburgh area there is tackle shop called Gordon's Marine it is about 2mi west of plattsburgh on rt 3. The owner of the shop is one of those persons you just have to meet.  She has one of the lagest selections of everything (salt, fresh, and flyfishing). If you do stop in be prepared to stay at while b/c she is a talker and says some of the craziest, and most hilarious things.

There are no chains on kodiak but there is a sportmans wherehouse in anchorage. I rarely go the sportsmans warhouse cuz there fly fishing gear and selection sucks. I do most all my shopping with Cabelas and Macks Sport Shop which is on kodiak.
I've never been to heaven, but i have fished  in  Alaska.

For the more expensive stuff I buy at Gander Mountain because I get a discount from them.  Also they will price match the bigger catolog places and I don't have to pay shipping.  For the smaller stuff I buy from local Mom and Pop stores.  I don't mind spending a little more there but will save $30-50 dollars when I can.

I'm cheap but not easy...... :unsure:

We just got our first Bass Pro Shop in Ontario last year. i have made multiple trips as well as a few internet orders. As for Gander Mount and Cabelas neither have stores in Ontario or Im sure i would be even more poor.

I have been out of fishing for the most part for about 15 years.  Back then I used to mail order from Bass Pro Shops.  Does anyone know if the prices in their stores are the same as the internet prices?

The people at the two local, non-chain hunting/fishing stores around me have bad attitudes and higher prices.  Though it would be nice to support the local guys, the extra price I would pay would only get me aggravated.  I still stop in once in a while, but generally only to have my conceptions reinforced, and usually its,  Yep - they same a**es are still here, going over to Dick's I guess.

I have a local shop here too.  Prices are higher, but if I could get the idle chat, recommendations, etc I would pay it.  But the guy who owns it doesn't like to talk to the customers.  In the end, that's the only thing that the little guys have over the chains.  They can't usually beat the prices.
