The big box stores like #^&#^&#^&#^&s, WalMart and Sports Authority kill the little guys. I NEVER buy anything from them. I'd rather pay a few cents more and go to a tackle shop where I can talk to fishing guys. Ever try to talk to the nitwits at #^&#^&#^&#^&s about fishing? You got a better shot at bursting into flames than getting anything sensible out of them.
