classic shop...knowledgeable proprietors. There are fewer and fewer places like this. I can not tell you how many shops like this one have closed up shop in this "new economy".

A couple days ago while working on the boat I pulled a rag out of the rag bag. It was an old Covedge tackle shop tee shirt from the old shop. Digging down a little deeper I found a Barry Thurston tackle shop Nantucket. I use to have a ton of tackle shop shirts...I would always buy one when I went to a new shop but since I actually wore them over time they become a part of history like many of the old shops. I still have a drawer-full but they are crusty and my wife culls them out. I miss the old shops...they have an feel and a vibe you just can't get on the web.
