Just not the good ones. I go to local run shops more often because I'd rather give them the business, for the most part. But also, have you spoken to the staff at large sporting goods stores lately? They know nothing. All they do is wear a khaki vest with alot of pockets so it looks like they fish. "Yeah, I think you'll need some of those bobbery things, and the number 8 string. You goin fer pickerel? I love them fish!" The staff at local shops have so much knowledge and are way more helpful. Things have unspoken warranties, they'll special order for you, tell you what's best to use for the area. Plus, you can go in and chat with the wife and kid and pet the dog (at least at Mike's anyways). Unless BPS hires some really great fishermen, carries eels, and is easily on my way to go fishing, I'll stick with the bait and tackles, and I have a feeling others will, too.
